Parshuram Jayanti 2026
Vishnu Sixth Avatar: According to the scriptures, Lord Parashurama is considered one of the ‘Ashtachiranjeevi’, which means he is among the eight divine souls who will survive on this earth till the end of Kaliyuga. The birth anniversary of Lord Parashuram is celebrated on the Tritiya Tithi of Shukla Paksha of Vaishakh month, which is called Akshaya Tritiya. In the year 2026, this holy festival will be celebrated on Sunday, April 19. According to mythology, Parashuram ji is the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu and he was born to destroy unrighteousness from the world. He is known for his harsh penance and invincible power.
Proof of immortality in scriptures
There are clear mentions of Lord Parshuram being alive even today in various Puranas and religious texts. According to ‘Shrimad Bhagwat Purana’ and ‘Kalki Purana’, Parshuram ji resides on Mahendra Mountain and while staying there, is engaged in deep penance. They are not only witnesses of ancient eras, but are also playing an important role for the times to come. It is told in the scriptures that he will become the guru of Lord ‘Kalki’ who will be born at the end of Kaliyuga and will teach him weapons. His presence is considered a symbol of the cycle of time and continuity of religion.
Mahendra Parvat and place of penance
According to religious beliefs, Lord Parashurama made Mahendra Parvat his abode for penance after donating all his kingdom and property. Mahendragiri mountain situated in Gajapati district of Orissa is still considered his penance. Devotees believe that even today he is present there in a subtle form. He is a warrior sage who used both weapons and scriptures with equal skill. His life teaches us that power should always be used to protect religion and the welfare of society.
