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!

Learning Lessons from Mother Sumitra

In this world mother and child relationship is above all the relations. The foremost responsibility of a mother is to place her child in a proper Krishna Consciousness environment by which he/she becomes pure devotee of the Lord. Often mothers blame for their children, they are not behaving well and they don't respect them at all but the reason behind this is how much we are doing for them. Being a parent means to sacrifice for children. In modern age mother has no time to care of her children and think they can give all kinds of facilities by just giving money. And when the child grows up and by the time he/she do not get the association of mother and teachings they become free to do what they want to do. Mother means to care for her children what they need and give love and teach them how to love and respect others. And if we think we just send our children to schools/colleges and they will be perfect in all so they cannot. Its the duty of the mother to give valuable time ...

TIT for TAT OR Tolerate That

Many of the times we go through situations where we get confused what to do now? According to our Vedic Scriptures we should keep three things in our mind and accordingly react or respond on situations. If you can change it: Situations comes in your life or brought by some people and you know if it is completely against our religious principle, then you must stand against it and try to change the situations. When Hauman Ji reached in Lanka and Lankini the guard of Lanka tried to stop Him and because it was against the religious principle as his own master kidnapped others wife, Hanuman Ji punched on her mouth by His left hand and move on. Same way if you have power and know things are going against Dharma, you should change the situations else you have to suffer sinful reactions of it. If you can not change it: Sometimes situations are completely against us and we are not even able to change it then that time we must accept the situation and try to tolerate it.  You don't believe...
