Lord Parashuram: The God of Justice
The ax of the hand of Lord Parashurama is the punishment legislation from which the oppressors keep their conduct according to the method. Justice can never be implemented without power. With the power of Lord Parashurama, Abdhita was only to establish justice, he never kept the earth won by his Parashu for his consumption. The reason for justice is that you are a trustee of power, not the owner, when Lord Rama descended to protect justice, Parashurama transferred his power to him.
The first signature of justice was in eradicating the convulsions on Mata Renuka. When Jamadagni decided to sacrifice Renuka, the rest of the son went with his mother while the father -in -law Ram stayed with his father. Renukanandan gave his father a unique example of motherhood by mixing his father again with his service.
From Anusuiya, Lopamudra to Amba, he continued to fight to bring justice to the woman.
When Sahastrabahu became tyrannical after getting the strength by Dattatreya, after defeating Ravana, he felt that he had only the right on this earth, when he attacked the ashram of Jamadagni in the greed of the cows and killed him with the sons of the sage and put it in the fire kund and took the village, then Ram Parashu was wearing it.
It is very important to say one thing in this context, all the casteist Parshuram is called the destroyer of all the Kshatriyas and calms his frustrations. All the leftists fight the Brahmin Kshatriya on the pretext of Parashurama. Parshuram’s Parashu was for establishment, he killed Sahastrabahu along with his friends. In this sequence, there were many wars which were presented as the false saga of the Kshatriya destruction of the entire earth. While Lord Parashurama Bhagwatpuran –
Avtaare Shodashame Pasyan Brahmadruho Nripaan.
Triḥsaptakṛtvaḥ kupito nikṣaṭramakaronmāhim.
( 1/3/20 )
According to the Brahmins, the Kshatriyas of the personal karma of the Brahmins were killed 21 times.
The reality is that Parashurama did the task of making Lord Rama more powerful by giving him a bow to Lord Rama. The Yaduvanshi Sahastrabahu, which he killed, gave the same Yadu Kul Shiromani Lord Krishna to fight against the oppressors by giving Sudarshan Chakra.
The scripture cannot be protected without weapons. The meaning of Lord Parashurama is Brahma Kshatriya Yoga. He is the Adi Dev of justice who assumed power for the implementation of justice and the same tradition is seen in other incarnations of Lord Vishnu.
