- Tuesday, 28 April 2026
Every year, on the Dwadashi Tithi of Shukla Paksha of the month of Vaishakh, a special fast is observed in honour of Lord Parashurama — called Jamadagnya Parashurama Vrat or Parashurama Dwadashi. This day is not just a religious festival, but an occasion that reminds us of Dharma, power and enlightenment.
Lord Parashurama: A Warrior Ascetic
Lord Parashurama is the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He was born to Maharshi Jamadagni and Mata Renuka. He is not only considered to be Chiranjivi, but also a sage who took up arms against injustice and adharma — and never compromised on truth and Dharma.
His life story shows the struggle, sacrifice and penance that transforms an ordinary man into a Mahapurush.
📖 Parashurama mentioned in scriptures
- He was given the divine Parashu (axe) and training in warfare by Lord Shiva.
- He is considered to be the master of Kalaripayattu, India's ancient martial art.
- He taught great warriors like Bhishma, Dronacharya and Karna.
- He also possessed divine weapons like Bhaargavastra.
🌿 Significance of Parashurama Dwadashi Vrat
This fast falls on the next day of Mohini Ekadashi, but in some years they can fall on the same day. On this day, devotees:
- Fast with a sincere heart.
- Worship Lord Parashurama.
- Wish for strength, courage, peace and spiritual growth.
It is believed that this fast eradicates sins, brings wealth and wisdom, and paves the way to salvation.
🙏 What can we learn from Parashurama?
- Standing up against injustice is the true religion.
- True power is attained through penance and knowledge.
- Be it weapons or scriptures in life, balance of both is important.
- Never compromise on self-respect and principles.
💬 Final Quote
In today's times where we keep compromising our values and principles, Parashuram Dwadashi reminds us that truth, courage and restraint are the only things that lead to lasting success and peace in life. Lord Parashurama is an idea - an idea that is relevant in every era.
"Parashurama was not just a warrior, he was the voice of Dharma - which can resonate within us even today, if we wish."
