Parshu Ram also known as Bhargava- the great warrior is
called to be 6 th carnation of Lord Vishnu in Treta (3rd) yuga, belongs to Bhrigu dynasty and
son of Renuka and Jamagni. He is
follower of great father- Shiva. He is a wise man with great courage. His real name
is Rama but due to blessed with the divya weapon ‘PARSHU’ (Axe) by Lord Shiva, he is known as Parshuram. As per calculation made by wise
astrologers, he is born in on the pious day of ‘Akashya Tritya’ in shukal paksha (Moon) of Baisakh (March-April) month. He took
birth to fight with ill-will bad warriors who were troubling the mother earth
and her people with their proud and bad intention. His martial guru is Lord Shiva-himself and Sage Kashyap taught him about Vedas. His prime target is to
take care of people. He is enlightened, orator, spiritual warrior of all time. He has always opposed the injustice. He has
always helped and protected the exploited, sad, oppressed people. His selfless
character is an example for all. It is well said
that there is Rama before Lord Rama. He remained active during the
period of Ramayana. In that period, Kannauj was ruled by king Gadhi. He had a
beautiful daughter named as Satyawati. She was got married with Bhirgu’s son
Rishik. Bhirgu blessed her and offered her a boon. Satyawati asked for a
brother. Bhirgu got impressed by her and gave her two glasses of sacred water
that she and her mother should drink them respectively and by drinking that
both would be blessed with sons. He further blessed Satyawati with a pious son.
On seeing this Satyawati’s mother changed her glass with her daughter. Bhirgu
came to know by this dishonesty through his divine vision. He told Satyawati
about that with informing the effect that the Brahmin who would take birth from
her would have the qualities of warrior. Satyawati requested that despite
having warrior’s qualities he should be a Brahmin by his conduct. Bhirgu
happily consented to this. After some time Satyawati gave birth to Jamagni. He
was very brave but helpful to everyone. He was married with Renuka and blessed
with five sons including of Parshuram. Once Renuka went for swimming in
a river where she saw Chitrarath. She got sexually aroused by seeing him. When
Jamagni came to know about it, he ordered his sons to kill their mother but
except Parshuram refused for doing so. Parshuram cut her head and brought it to
his father. Jamagni got impressed by seeing his obedience and asked him for a
boon. Parshuram asked that Renuka, his mother may alive again w/o remembering
that fateful incident. He further gave him the boon of not losing any war with
a long life. After sometime a Chhatriya king Kartvirya came to Jamagni’s
ashram. He saw the magical Kamdhenu cow which could fulfill any wish made to her. He ordered to hand over it to him. On
refusing, Kartvirya killed Jamagni. When Parshuram came back to ashram, he saw
his mother weeping endlessly over the death of his father. He took the oath to
kill all bad chhatriyas king who have no kindness for their people. He killed
Kartvirya and then 21 times killed all the bad chhatriyas from the earth. It
led to filling of five lakes of blood. At last Rishik came and stopped him by
doing so. He donated all the winning land to good kings and went into hermit
for pray at Mohinder Mountain. He is still to living near Aihole river where he
washed his blood stained axe. He is said to be waiting there to train Kalki for
martial training.
