Parashuram Ji Ki Katha

Parshuram Ji ki katha ke anusar ve Bhagwan Vishnu ke chhathe avatar maane jate hain aur unka janm Rishi Jamadagni aur Mata Renuka ke ghar hua tha. Ve ek Brahman kul mein janme the lekin unmein Kshatriya jaisi adbhut shakti aur parakram tha. Unke pita Jamadagni Rishi atyant tapasvi aur dharmanishth the tatha unke paas Kamdhenu gaay thi, jo sabhi ichchhaen poorn karti thi. Ek baar Haihay Vanshi Raja Sahasrarjun apni hazar bhujaon ke ahankar mein Rishi Jamadagni ke ashram par aaya aur balpoorvak Kamdhenu gaay ko chheen le gaya. Jab Rishi Jamadagni ne iska virodh kiya to Sahasrarjun ne unka vadh kar diya. Jab Parshuram Ji ashram laute aur unhone apne pita ki hatya aur anyay ke baare mein suna to ve atyant krodhit ho gaye aur unhone pratigya li ki ve Prithvi se sabhi adharmi Kshatriyon ka naash karenge.

Iske baad Parshuram Ji ne apne divya Parshu (kulhadi) ko dhaaran kiya aur yuddh aarambh kiya. Unhone Sahasrarjun aur uski sena ka sanhaar kiya tatha anek baar Prithvi par adharm phailane wale Kshatriyon ka vinash kiya. Kaha jata hai ki unhone 21 baar Prithvi ko Kshatriyon se rahit kiya, jisse Prithvi par bhay aur adharm samaapt hua. Lekin jab unka krodh shaant hua to unhe apne karm par aatmabodh hua aur ve Mahendra Parvat par jaakar kathor tapasya mein leen ho gaye. Unki tapasya itni mahaan thi ki unhone devtaon se bhi divya gyaan aur astra-shastra prapt kiye.

Parshuram Ji ko amar Chiranjivi mana jata hai aur aisa kaha jata hai ki ve aaj bhi Prithvi par vidyamaan hain. Unhone Bhagwan Ram ki bhi divya dhanush-vidya ki pariksha li thi aur baad mein unhe samman diya tha. Bhavishya mein mana jata hai ki ve Kalki Avatar ko bhi shastra vidya sikhayenge, jab adharm apne charam par hoga. Parshuram Ji ki katha hume yah sandesh deti hai ki adharm ka naash avashyak hai, lekin krodh par niyantran aur ant mein tapasya hi saccha marg hai.॥
