Parshuram Jayanti 2022

Parshuram Jayanti is being observed today across the country. The day marks the birth anniversary of Lord Parshuram, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. According to the Hindu calendar, the auspicious day falls on the third day of the Shukla Paksha of the month of Vaisakha. This day coincides with Akshaya Tritiya.

According to religious beliefs, Lord Vishnu’s sixth incarnation was created to rid the world of sinful, destructive, and irreligious monarchs who steal resources and fail to fulfill their responsibilities as kings. It is believed that Parshuram still lives on the earth. Parshuram, unlike Lord Shiva, Rama, Krishna, and other gods, is not worshipped because he is considered to be immortal.

Why did Lord Parshuram cut his mother’s neck on orders of his father?

Born to Rishi Jamadgani and Renuka, Lord Parshuram was his parents’ devoted son. Despite this, at his father’s request, he had beheaded his mother. Renuka was well-known for her chastity and commitment to her spouse. Her faith was so strong that she could gather water from the river in a pot made of unbaked clay, kept together solely by her devotion.

One day, a chariot of Gandharvas passed by in the sky above her when she was at the river. Filled with desire for only a moment, the unbaked pot she held dissolved in the river. She sat on the riverbank, afraid to return to her husband and unsure of what to do next. Jamadagni, on the other hand, saw that his wife had not returned. He was outraged after divining everything that had happened through his spiritual powers.

The rishi then called his eldest son and asked him to kill his mother. Horrified by this, the boy refused. Then Jamadagni gave axe to each of his sons and asked them to kill Renuka. All of them denied his father’s order and Jamadgani turned all his sons into stone. However, his youngest son Parshuram agreed to behead his mother.

Impressed by Parshuram’s gestures, Jamadgani offered boons to him. The boy asked that his mother be brought back to life and his brothers be returned from stone to flesh.

Why did Lord Parshuram break Lord Ganesha’s tooth?

According to the Brahmavaivarta Purana, once Parashurama reached Mount Kailash to have darshan of Lord Shiva. Lord Ganesha refused to let him meet Shiva. He was so enraged that he broke a Vighnaharta tooth with his Parshu. As a result, Lord Ganesha was given the name Ekadanta.
