Incarnation of Bhagwan Parshuram
There are 24 Avatars of Vishnu out of which 14th Avatar is Nrisingh Bhagwan, 15th is Vaman and 16th is Bhagwan Parshuram.
In Dasha Avatar stotra poet Mahakavi Jayadeva says: “Kshtriya Rudhir Maye Jagadapa Gata Papam, Snapayasi Payasi Shamit Bhava Tapam, Keshav Dhrit Bhrigupati Roop Jai Jagadish Hare” Bhagwan Parshuram came on this earth to remove the difficulties of people and to remove sin from this world by killing evil kings, To This God we bow !!!
If we listen to his story with faith it is as good as Prayers and Pooja. Bhagwan Parshuram was born in a poor household but his father was great Rishi Jamdagni (who is one of the seven stars which together are considered creator of the Universe) and Mother is Renuka. They lived a life of great penance in the forest. They drank Cow Milk and ate Neevar (special type of fasting rice) and lived a very simple but satisfactory life which is why a great son like Parshuram was born to this couple. This kind of difficult penance not for selfish gains but to beget a child who is devoted to the welfare of mankind is indeed exemplary. So the prodigy child was born on auspicious baishakh shukla paksha akshay tritiya with “Shaastra” scriptures and “Shastra” special type of weapon which is called in Sanskrit “Parashu.” He was indeed incarnation of Vishnu/Ram which is why he is called Parashuram. He annihilated evil like a gardner that saves the garden by destroying what is not needed. Similarly the weapons in his hand depict the need to destroy bad forces and demons. With his knowledge of scriptures he taught how to achieve our life goals with wisdom and live a good life. Parshuramji single-handedly saved mother earth 21 times with his valour by killing evil kings and took control of the earth and handed it over to be governed by their good children whom he imparted great knowledge. He worked hard for women’s welfare, remained a brahmachari and taught bhakti for parents. He went to forest Mahendragiri and did not himself become a king and is alive till today and will never die. He is a great devotee of Shiva, keeps a tripund tilak on his forehead wears rudraksh on his neck and carries a bow and arrow and parashu in his hands. He is endowed with “Yagyopaveet” an important symbol for Brahmans. In Kaliyuga he will live and be the Guru of Kalki bhagwan and impart knowledge. Today he lives in Mahendragiri and is being served by Akritvran who has been god realized through Bhagwan Parshuram ji. Everyone prays to him and he fulfills the desires of devotees.

Description of Wedding Rituals by Dr Swami Satya Prakash at Surrey Mandir Nov 16, 2010 at 6 PM ALL ARE INVITED
Description and Sequence of Marriage Ceremony Rituals
Parents of the Bride welcome the Grooms’s family and friends amidst sacred chanting
The Bride and Groom Garland each other symbolizing acceptance of each other. Bhagwat sholoka: “ Ka tva mukund mahti kul sheel roop vidya vayo dravid dhaam bhiratma tulya” There are seven qualities that Rukmini was attracted to Krishna Kul (Generation), sheel (nature), roop (beauty), vidya (academic qualification), vaya (age), dhan (financial), dhaam (living standard). Rukmini says that all these qualities of the groom are according to me so I like you. These qualities attract me towards you so I accept you in marriage.
Begin the ceremony by lighting the Diya (which remains the witness to the marriage till eternity) and Prayers to Lord Ganesha conducted in the very beginning for Removal of Obstacles during the ceremony and throughout the marital life.
Bride’s parents take the sankalp (vow) to wed their daughter and tie a thread to the priest as a symbol of giving authorization to the priest to formalize the ceremony. Priest accepts by tying threads to parent’s hands and giving them blessings and the promise to conduct the ceremony as a representative of God
Prayers to God and Planets; Blessings from the Universe
Bride and Groom are seated as symbols of Lakshmi and Vishnu during the ceremony and Priest purifies them through Mantras.
The ceremony is conducted with Yagna and the entire environment is enlightened
This is a symbol of Meeting of the Minds and completely tied to each other. In the knot there 5 things tied together which include Coin, Flower, Haldi/Turmeric, Durva and Rice/Akshat. Coin symbolizes equal right on finances, flower is for happiness and good wishes, haldi symbolizes working towards increasing and taking care of each others’ physical, mental emotional and intellectual needs, Durva is a symbol of life force purity and divinity. If durva dries and you put it in water, it becomes green again similarly in marital life may you have a life force pure and divine which will give boundless eternal and selfless love for each other. Akshat symbolizes complete fullfilment in everything including material and spiritual wealth and happiness.
Bride’s parents and family members give away their daughter of the family, their most precious gift brought up so dearly and wisely by giving best education and values who is now being implanted into another family to further grow and flourish in the Groom’s family and take their lineage forward. Kanya Daan or Giving away Lakshmi (symbol of Wealth) is the biggest and most sacred and precious donation that anyone can ever make in their lifetime as lots has gone into making her the person she is and is most precious yet she is now being given away.
With Hawan and 7 times encircling this fire (Four Phere). Fire is representative of Surya. In offerings of Havan or in fire everything that is desired is communicated to Gods and the universe which is uplifted through the smoke. According to vedas the couple takes 4 rounds around fire. This is a symbol of commitment for dharma Artha kama and Moksha. Dharma or Duty or Civilization or religion means living a dutiful life towards family members society environment and universe.
