Lord Parashurama the Warrior Incarnation of Lord

Today we are celebrating the appearance day of Lord Parashuram. Lord Parashuram is known as 6th incarnation of Lord Vishnu and also known as a warrior incarnation.

Lord Parashurama was born as the son of sage Jamdagni. Sage Jamdagni was very religious and saintly person. He was having a cow named Kamdhenu which was so powerful and wish fulfilling.

One day a King named Arjuna (not that Pandvas) came to Jamdagni cottage and Jamdagni hosted a feast for all his soldiers along with King.

King Arjuna go to know it is just because of this cow and he immediately took cow along with him.

When Lord Parashurama came and saw His father face, he asked the reason, father explained everything what took place.

Lord Parashurama became so angry and immediately dressed in a black deerskin and with matted locks of hair, He took His axe and shield and went to punish the king.

He chopped the king in several pieces and no one comes in between to stop him.

After few years in absense of Lord Parashurama , sons of King Arjuna came and cut the throat of sage Jamdagni. When mother of Lord Parashurama Renuka started crying Lord Parashurama ran and reached at cottage.

Seeing the situation he became angry like a snake and again he took the same form in black dress, axe in hand with red eyes he entered into the kingdom of Arjuna and started cutting people like banana tree.

It is said that there was blood pool created and not only once but he killed King Arjuna's 21 generations.

Finally he went for mediation on Mahendra mountain and left everything and again appeared in public when Lord Rama Chandra broke the bow of Lord Shiva.

We can chant this prayer to please Lord Parashurama ;

क्षत्रिय-रुधिर-मये जगद् -अपगत-पापम्

स्नपयसि पयसि शमित-भव-तापम्

केशव धृत-भृगुपति रूप जय जगदीश हरे


0 Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who have assumed the form of Bhrigupati [Parasurama]!

All glories to You! At Kurukshetra You bathe the earth in the rivers of blood from the bodies of the

demoniac kshatriyas that You have slain. The sins of the world are washed away by You, and because of You

people are relieved from the blazing fire of material existence.



Jai Sri Parashurama!

Life is a preparation, death is an examination

We participate in so many exams in our life, and get the results as per our preparation for that exams. But most of the exams we have option, whether to attempt it or not? But there is one exam in our life which we may ignore saying we will see when it would come in our life, but we all have to attempt we don't have any choice, whether we are poor,  rich,  educated or illiterate. Srila Prabhupada used to say, this life is our preparation how we are preparing our-self for coming exam.  Because that exam has no prior time table, no time period, no grace marks, and no cheat sheet allowed. And you may be surprise to know, all our activities are recorded by Yamduta for our each and every moments with evidence. Yes, Yamduta will show your answer sheet and you can review it, whether he has marked you in correct way or not? You are successful, if you are passed your exams but if you are failed then you don't know when you will have to reattempt that exam (it could be after 84 laces bir

Be Humble - Time can change everything

When we get name, fame and power we puffed by the false ego and become arrogant to the people and think no one is greater than me. But our history says, who were arrogant, time has collapsed all of them. None of us can say, I can beat the time and can go against it. We all are under control of Time as Lord Krishna has already stated in the Bhagwad Gita (I am the time and eveything is under my control). But due to our false ego we do not accept this fact become arrogant with other people instead of becoming humble with them. Who was "King of Good times" now became "King of bad times", so easily we can understand time make us King or Beggar. So we should be always being humble with the people in our Good times and take blessings from them for our bad times, but we do exactly opposite of it, we become arrogant in Good times and seek for blessings in our bad times. But what is the use of it, when you hurt someone, you lose sympathy from that person's heart.

A visit to GEV

Srila Prabhupada was very much concerned about modern life style and he always used to tell his disciples, only building temples are not enough to live a pure Krishna Conscious way of life along with it we must follow our Vedic Culture and in our Vedic Culture we were fully dependent on Cows and Lands but in modern age we have rejected both and result we are not getting healthy foods and milk products. So we have to build Farm Communities where we can live a healthy life and in minimum amount of time we can produce grains, vegetables, fruits and milk products etc. and rest of the time they can do their devotional service. Milk and Grains can not be produced in factories and for this we require Cows and Lands. Govardhan Ecovillage is a project of International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The project is owned and managed by ISKCON Wada, Maharashtra. It is the result of an ardent desire of H.H.Radhanath Swami Maharaj to fulfill the dream of his beloved guru, His Divine
