__Parasurama!!!!__

"Para" meaning axe and "surama" meaning man or men hence the name Parasurama.

__**Legend**__
=According to one legend Parashurama also went to visit Shiva but the way was blocked by Ganesha. Parashurama threw the axe at him and Ganesha, knowing it had been given by Shiva, allowed to cut off one of his tusks. The goddess Parvati on finding her son's tusk being cut filled with rage and declared that if Parashurama's thirst for Kshatriya's blood was still not over she would put a stop to it and teach him a final lesson; she will severe both of his arms and kill him. The Goddess Parvati then takes a form of Shakti and becomes the ultimate source of Power and no other divine power can resist or match to her Supreme power. Luckily, Shiva arrived at the scene and pacified Parvati after convincing not to harm Parashurama as he is also like her son in a way and she should forgive him as a Mother on her child’s mistake. Parashurama also asks for her forgiveness. Parvati finally forgives Parashurama at the request of ﻿ Ganesha. Parashurama then gifts his divine axe weapon to Ganesha and blesses him.= =media type="youtube" key="tLvE_lDFw1k" height="390" width="480"__**Reclamation**__= =There is also the Panhala Fort founded by Raja Bhoja in the late 12th century which was used and is said to be the only fort in which he stayed for 500 days. This fort is said to have a connection with Parashurama.Konkan is the //karmabhumi// of Parashurama. There is one view that his birthplace was Mahoor gadh, which is at the border of Marathwada and Vidharbha in Maharastra. At Mahur on the left hand side of main Renuka Mata temple there is a temple which is believed to be Parashurama's birthplace. However there is also one belief that the birthplace of Lord Parashurama is Janapao or Jaana pau in present day Madhya Pradesh, a central Indian State. Parashurama had spent most of his childhood time in and around the Mandagni Parvath near Vajreshwari in Maharashtra. You can see a Bala Parashurama temple believed to be built by Bhima on the edge of the Mandagni Parvath.There is also a temple for Renuka devi and Sage Jamadagni.This makes us to believe that the birth place of Lord Parashurama could be around this place.urama's Backround= =__Backround__= =Parashurama belonged to Srivatsa Gotra. It appears that the Haihayas may have been enemies and at war with several groups including other Kshatriyas. For example the Haihayas sacked Kashi during the reigns of King Haryaswa and King Sudeva .All these kings were born in the Solar Dynasty and the Haihayas were a Lunar Dynasty.The hostile Haihaya King Kartavirya Arjuna defeated the Naga Kshatiryas who were led by Karkotaka Naga. Kartavirya made Mahishmati the capital of his own kingdom.= =According to numerous Puranas, the military corporations of the Shakas, Yavanas, Kambojas, Pahlavas and Paradas, known as five hordes, had militarily supported the Haihaya and Talajunga Kshatriyas in depriving Ikshvaku King Bahu of his Ayodhya kingdom .= =A generation later, Bahu's son, Sagara recaptured Ayodhya after totally destroying the Haihaya and Talajangha Kshatriyas in the battle. King Sagara had punished these foreign hordes by ordering their 'heads shaved'.=
