Lord Narayan has taken many incarnations to establish truth, religion and justice on earth. Among these, the incarnation of Parshuram is the first complete incarnation. which is the most extensive. There is no such corner of the world, no area or no country, where the memory or symbol of Lord Parshuram is not found. He made continuous visits to the whole earth to establish peace and humanity in the world. If it is said that Lord Parshuram established Aryatva in the world, then it would be an important fact of truth.
The character of Lord Parshuram is the most fierce and comprehensive in Vedic and mythological history. He was considered the sixth in the dashavatar of Narayan. He is the first complete incarnation. He was considered Chiranjeevi, that is why his presence is found in every era. His incarnation took place at the junction of Satyug ending and Tretayug beginning. It was the third day of Vaishakh Shukla Paksha. Since his incarnation is Akshaya, this date is called Akshaya Tritiya.
Every moment of this date is auspicious. His incarnation took place during the rest of the night, hence it is called Brahma Muhurta. His presence is going to start from the end of Satyug till the end of Kaliyug. Such a comprehensive and timeless character is not found in any deity, sage or incarnation. It was he who had given that Shiva bow to King Janak, breaking which Ramji married Mother Sita. It was Lord Parshuram who had given that Vishnu bow to Lord Rama by which Lankapati Ravana was killed. Similarly, Parshuram is the one who gave Sudarshan Chakra and the knowledge of Gita to Lord Krishna. It is also mentioned in the Puranas that Kalki will be incarnated in Kalyug to protect the religion, then Lord Parshuram will also be there to give him the knowledge of weapons and scriptures.
The incarnation of Lord Parshuramji took place in Rishikul. Lord Parshuram’s father was Maharishi Jamdagni and mother Renuka was the daughter of Suryavanshi Pratapi Samrat Raja Renu. Lord Parshuram has five brothers and one sister. He has seven gurus. The first guru is mother Renuka, the second guru is father Maharishi Jamdagni. The third Guru is Maharishi Chaiman, the fourth Guru is Maharishi Vishwamitra, the fifth Guru is Maharishi Vashishtha, the sixth Guru is Lord Shiva and the seventh Guru is Lord Dattatreya. The whole world worships Lord Shiva, but his only disciple is Lord Parshuram. They travel at the speed of the mind. This is called the wide movement of the mind. He is blessed with eternal youth, which means he will never grow old.
Lord Parshuram gave the knowledge of Srividya to the world. The worship of Shakti also started with Lord Parshuram. No one could stand in front of Parshuram’s knowledge, spiritual practice, energy and brilliance. All the four Vedas walk in front of him. Akshaya has a tunir full of arrows on his back. There are scriptures in one hand and weapons in the other. He is capable of both cursing and punishing. This ability is not in any other incarnation or sage. If he has killed the terrorists by fighting directly, then he has also pleased Lord Shiva by doing penance. He traveled the world twice for community building. He has also created the Vedas in the form of a sage. In the medieval period, the respect points of India were tarnished, in the same way, there was a conspiracy to make India’s ideal character controversial by adding many fabricated stories. Divide and rule was the declared slogan of the aggressors, under this added some contexts in the saga of Lord Parshuram. Which is completely false and misleading.
Two allegations are made on Lord Parshuram, one is that he destroyed the Kshatriyas and the other is that he was very angry. Both these allegations are untrue and created by some foreign conspirators to create differences in the society so as to weaken India by dividing the society. They were also somewhat successful in their conspiracy, but now we should study ourselves and get rid of all misconceptions. There is ample evidence in the scriptures on both these questions. It is clear in Shrimad Bhagwat that the word धूत्कं क्षत्रम has come. Means “evil state”. There are three words in Puranas, Kshatra, Kshatrapa and Kshatriya. There is a difference between these three words. Dedicated to Kshatra means state, Kshatrapa means king and Kshatriya means state. If the word is evil Kshatram, then it means such kingdoms which used to do evil. In an episode of the Mahabharata, Lord Shiva ordered that “you kill all my enemies”. Whether the word “Kshatra” or “Kshatrapa” has come in Sanskrit, but the confusion was spread by making Kshatriya directly in Hindi translation.
In the context of Parshuram, the word Kshatriya was mentioned for the first time in Raghuvansh of Kalidas and from here the stories of Kshatriya destruction started. After this, the literature that was created kept expanding in its description. Please tell that Lord Parshuram is the incarnation of Narayan. Kshatriya originated from Narayan’s arms, so will Narayan himself incarnate to destroy his arms? Apart from this, his mother Devi Renuka Kshatriya, his grandmother Devi Satyavati Kshatriya, many sage girls of Bhrigu dynasty were married to Kshatriyas, then how can they start an anti-Kshatriya campaign.
Apart from this, one more thing, whenever Narayan incarnates, there is a reason for his incarnation somewhere. If there is to be separation from wife in any incarnation, to take company of monkeys, to have only one marriage or more than one marriage or to be accused of Ranchod, everything is determined. That’s why the actions of Narayan’s incarnation are not called karma but leela. There is no mention in any scripture about Narayan that someday he would become a Kshatriya warrior. Therefore, this misleading thing has to be removed from the mind of the society. There are no less conspiracies happening to divide the society. So we should understand the truth.
Contexts related to Lord Parshuram are found all over the world. Bhriguram is also one of his various names. This word would be corrupted and became Bagram. There is also a place called Bagram in Afghanistan, where an airport has also been built. There is also a Bagram city in Iraq. In the excavation of Latin America, a shape like Sriyantra has come out. At the behest of Lord Parshuram, the demon Maya had gone to Patal. Probably the “Mayan civilization” of Latin America would have developed from the Mayan giant. In the excavation of Rome, such a figure engraved on the stone came out, which has a bow and arrow on its shoulder and also a weapon like Parashu.
Although the cap on the head of this figure is Roman, but the only one holding Parshu and bow and arrows is Parshuram. It is possible that the name Russia is a corruption of Rishika. But extensive research is needed on this. According to Max MĂĽller’s book “What should we learn from India”, the knowledge of the world reached Iran from India and from Iran to the whole world. This statement strengthens the belief that all the words or symbols similar to Parshuram found in the world can be related to Parshuram only. In this way, Lord Parshuram’s incarnation is world wide, the fiercest and the one who destroys unrighteousness in the world and establishes truth.
