Lord Vishnu sent the rakshasa Bali to the Pathalam in order to save dharma. Thus in each incarnation lord Vishnu has served a specific purpose. Even in his 6th incarnation as Parasuarama, lord Vishnu exterminated the sinful, destructive, irreligious and irresponsible monarchs or kings.

According to some puranas sources, it is strongly believed that unlike all other avatars Parasuarama still lives on earth even to day. He is a Chiranjeevi. Secondly, he is a version of extreme emotions. That’s why he has not been popularly worshipped by the people as they worship Rama or Krishna. However in places like Udupi, Gokarna, Kanyakumari, maharastra and Assam people do worship Parasuarama. The people on Konkan call their land as Parasuarama bhoomi.

Though Parasuarama is Chiranjeevi like lord Hanuman, he is not worshipped like him.

As Parasuarama is an incarnation of emotion like Varaha swamy and Nrusimha swamy, there is no scope for him to have more number of temples. However people worship both Varaha swamy and Nrisimhaswamy when they are existed with their consorts. Since Parasuarama is a celibate and a ferocious incarnation with extreme violence and fury, he is generally not worshipped by the people. But here and there, quite a few people do worship him. Nevertheless woman devotees are very less.

Lord Parasuarama is also referred to as Bhagavan Rama and even Bhrigupati. By his mother’s side Parasuarama belongs to the royal race of Kusikas. Hence, he has got the name as Bhargava. By his father side, he descended from Bhrigu maharshi and so he has attained the mother name `Bhrigupati’ also. The direct descendants of Parasuarama, the Bhumihar and Tyagi sub- castes belonging to the regions of western utter Pradesh are seen even today major in parochial regions and their major occupation is agriculture.

The purpose of the incarnation of Parasuarama can be extracted from his suprabhata mantra- Rama Parasuarama Vishnavarama Renukamba Rama… namah suprabhata.

God power

Health is vale more than wealth. Body condition depends on health. Health is important to living happy. Good health is wanted to man.

It is not how long we live in this world. But how well we live is vitally important. To day, many are suffering from different kinds of physical infirmities. We know well, that in these days, people are becoming very much health conscious, but yet are under going tremendous physical trauma and problems.

The progress of your physical health depends on your spiritual progress. Almost ninety percent of the people in the world to day are concerned more about their physical fitness and health and do not even consider their spiritual life and welfare of their soul.

Man is a triune being, and is a combination of spirit part, soul part and body part. Spiritual part is god conscious, soul part is self conscious and part is world conscious. People generally take care of the soul part and body part and feed them well, but starve their spirit part. They feed their minds with the things and thoughts of the world and become weak in their spirit.

What should be done now? Your thought line should become healthy and godly and you should be able to entertain good and healthy thoughts and expel the thoughts which are UN health to both your spiritual and physical life.

This kind of good and positive thinking is the foundation beneath our real health and will make us proper in spirit, soul and body.

Dussehra

It is celebrated in most parts of our country. This marks the victory of good over evil. It is also called as Vijay Dasimi. We celebrate Navaratri and the tenth day is Dussehra. The effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakarana and Meghanath are burnt. This festival is celebrated in memory of the victory of Rama over Ravana. Ramlila, depicting the life of Rama is staged in Delhi. Durga pooja is celebrated in west Bengal. In Gujarat, men and women perform dance with sticks every evening during Navaratri. This dance is of two varieties- Ras and Garbha.

Ganesh Chautrdhi

It is celebrated all over India. It marks the birthday of lord Ganesh, the god who eliminates obstacles. It is celebrated for nine days and the idols lord Ganesh are immersed in rivers and tanks. Delicious food items prepared of rice floured are offered to lord Ganesh.

Diwali

On this day, the ladies put on their costliest clothes and ornaments. The men folk indulge in gambling, real or fake, in order to give auspicious turn to their financial worries.

Diwali is the festival of lights. It is one of the most important festivals. It marks ` the new year’ for business men. They perform Lakshmi pooja in the night and seek the blessings of the goddesses of wealth for their prosperity and wealth.

People whitewash their houses before Diwali. Diwali night is the best night. Earthen lamps are lighted. Crackers are set off. We should stand at a distance from burning crackers.

Oman and pongal

Oman is a festival celebrated in Kerala for four days. There are also boat races. People sing and dance and celebrate it with pomp.

Besides these festivals, people also celebrate harvest festivals like Basanth panchami ad Pongal.

This celebration lasts for three days, but for many days before, everyone has been busy with preparations. Young people coat the walls of village homes with fresh whitewash or fresh red clay to cover the streaks from last season’s rains. They may also paint designs on the walls or draw them on the floors with rice flour. Of course, every one likes to have some new clothes too.

Some collects handfuls of rice from all the family pots in the village to make one big batch of sweets. A sampling of this fresh pongal is offered to the sun god at a temple or shrine, or in front of a household image. A bit of it may also be offered to the elephant headed god known in some parts of India as Ganapati, in others as Ganesh. He gods enjoy the spirit of the sweets. After these ceremonies, the sweets are served to the villages families. The children wait eagerly for this!

Sound nil silence peace of in your mind as same as in space. But In that silence try to ear `om’ does sound with your tong (do it from your mouth). `Om’ is most powerful mantra.

All our mantras begin with `om’ and end with namah. That is the tradition in Sanskrit. `Om’ is supposed to be the origin of creation. It is said that the whole creation came out from pranava `om’ sound.

The sound `om’ in pranava travels in to the depths of our heart and slowly merges therein, retaining its reflection in our memory. It will bore memory. It will be bore each one of the subtle bodies and reach sahasrara. When `om’ is uttered out side, it vibrates and slowly recedes in to silence. When it is turned inside, it becomes soundless and salient. It goes on further boring the silence and reaches the origin. When our heart center anahata becomes completely vacant, it begins to produce subtle vibrations. The `jhum’ sound becomes `ovum’. That resembles air wave sound. If we follow that sound, we reach the heart’s silent core, where such sounds resound from nowhere. That is the sound of silence.

The pranava sound stars from the silence of anahata center and goes to the head center sahasrara. The disciples who mediate on the anahata center could hear the resounds and enjoy the ecstasy of pranava, the sound of silence.

So long as we pronounce ` Om’ with our lips, we cannot transcend the outer, physical consciousness. We cannot jump in to silence. We will be observing the stream waters standing on the banks. We remain as spectators. We don’t become participants. We can’t cross the anahata level. There we must jump in to silence with no hesitation. We should dive in to ecstasy of silence.

Parasuarama was a power man. He was great devotee of mother. His was avatar Srimannarayan.

Parasuarama father was Jamdaghni, and his mother Renukamba. Jamdaghni was a great teacher.

Parasu means an axe. Rama means a person who grants a state of extreme happiness or blissfulness in amplitude.

Parasuarama was keenly interested in the science of weaponry. His loves for martial arts, archery and using the weapons with the magical help of sonic waves i.e., mantras found boundaries. Since he was brilliant, he mastered all the arts of war fare in to time. He remained as a UN surpassing great warrior. He used to love his father, mother and master.

Rebuke, the wife of Jamdaghni, used to bring water from river Gangas every day for Jamdaghni to perform rites in the ashram. She used to prepare a pot from sand with the help of her energy she secured by penance. This was daily routine for her. But no a fateful day, she could not prepare the pot from sand as her energy did not work since she concentrated her mind upon the sensual and sexual life a pair if angels, she accidentally witnessed on the way. Though delayed, she prepared the pot and brought the water for her husband. However, he refused to use that water, as he learnt every thing through his magical power. Despite Renuka’s apology, Jamdaghni called his sons and asked to decapitate their mother. All of them refused, but Parasuarama came forward and his mother with his axe. Jamdaghni was pleased with the action of Parasuarama and granted him to boons.

Taking this as on advantage, Parasuarama requested his father to give life to his mother and also to excuse her. Jamdaghni did accordingly. Then Parasuarama also requested his father to shed anger and moment emotion. Jamdaghni accepted this also.
