[After his father was killed by an evil kṣatriya]
"Thus lamenting, Lord Paraśurāma entrusted his father’s dead body to his brothers and personally took up his axe, having decided to put an end to all the kṣatriyas on the surface of the world.

O King, Lord Paraśurāma then went to Māhiṣmatī, which was already doomed by the sinful killing of a brāhmaṇa. In the midst of that city he made a mountain of heads, severed from the bodies of the sons of Kārtavīryārjuna.

With the blood of the bodies of these sons, Lord Paraśurāma created a ghastly river, which brought great fear to the kings who had no respect for brahminical culture. Because the kṣatriyas, the men of power in government, were performing sinful activities, Lord Paraśurāma, on the plea of retaliating for the murder of his father, rid all the kṣatriyas from the face of the earth twenty-one times. Indeed, in the place known as Samanta-pañcaka he created nine lakes filled with their blood."

- Srimad Bhagavatam, 9.16.15-19


Today we celebrate the appearance of Sri Parashurama, a shaktyavesha-avatara of Lord Vishnu. He descended at a time when almost the entire Kshatriya class had become corrupted and were abusing their power to tyrannically rule over society.

Parashurama, who was a Brahmana, took on the role of a warrior and used his battle-axe to annihilate and drive out the evil Kshatriyas and restore Dharma. He shows the ultimate supremacy of the Brahmanas as the highest class in Vedic society.

Interestingly, Parashurama remains physically present here on Earth, living a life of meditative solitude until the end of the Kali Yuga when he will train Kalki, the final avatara.

Jaya Sri Parashurama!


"A slayer of an embryo is like the slayer of a priest."
- Krishna Yajur Veda, 6.5.10


Any being can become purified and blessed by consuming prasadam (food which has been offered to the Gods and sacralized).


"All pre-Abrahamic cultures understood the tremendous importance of remaining closely connected to the past if the present was to be invested with any spiritually significant meaning. They also understood that the most personally relevant and accessible portal to the empowering wisdom and goodness of the past was through their own direct, familial ancestors - those who shared their particular bloodline and DNA. Indeed, to honor and respect our specific family’s ancestors was considered to be as sacred a duty, and as much a part of being a spiritual person, as worshiping the gods, the guru, or the Supreme Absolute.

It was for this reason that all traditional cultures engaged in what is often called ancestor worship (pitri-puja). There is no pre-Abrahamic culture on Earth that did not take great care to honor its ancestors in one form or another, often with each household maintaining a family altar in the home specifically meant to honor the family’s ancestors, and even the nation as a whole maintaining public altars to honor the greatness of the nation’s progenitors, the volksgeist of the entire people of the nation. This is a very important spiritual responsibility and tradition that used to be practiced universally by individuals, families and nations in the ancient past. The process of ancestor worship now needs to be revived in the modern world if we are to retain our sacred connection with our own cultural-spiritual heritage.

All followers of Sanatana Dharma should regularly engage in pitri-puja. Ancestor worship must again become a regular, household practice in modern times if we are to maintain a healthy connection with the hereditary current of power and blessings that our ancestors wish to deliver unto us. If you have not yet instituted the practice of ancestor worship in your own home, please consider doing so."

"The extent of your realization will be known when you encounter difficult circumstances. You will not know the extent of your realization when things go well. The difficult circumstances will reveal your hidden faults."

- Khenpo Munsel, Tibetan lama who was beaten and imprisoned by the Communist Chinese for 22 years, but stuck to his faith and kept practicing his sadhana. It is said that he even converted some of his prison guards to Dharma. After his release, he played a key role in preserving and spreading Tibetan Buddhist traditions.

"I do not know how much nectar the two syllables 'Kṛṣ-ṇa' have produced. When the holy name of Kṛṣṇa is chanted, it appears to dance within the mouth. We then desire many, many mouths. When that name enters the holes of the ears, we desire many millions of ears. And when the holy name dances in the courtyard of the heart, it conquers the activities of the mind, and therefore all the senses become inert."
- Sri Rupa Goswami

'Goswami' means 'master of the senses'. One of the primary aims of Yoga practice is to control the senses. While the outer, material senses become withdrawn, the inner state of consciousness that is awakened through Bhakti-yoga is not empty and inert. To the contrary, it is a blissful, personal, and direct experience of Brahman (God), that is infinitely deep in nature. It is a supra-sensual state of reality, which transcends materiality. That is Krishna consciousness.


"The Sun Gods (Adityas) uphold the stable and moving world. They are the guardians of all the universe. With a profound intelligence, guarding their celestial powers, the carriers of truth, they note our debts."
- Rig Veda, 2.27.4

"The asceticism of contemplation consists of the integration of the knowing faculty (achieved through detachment from sensible reality) with the neutralization of individual rationalizing faculties and with the progressive stripping of the nucleus of consciousness, which thus becomes 'free from conditionings' and subtracts itself from the limitation and from the necessity of any determination, whether real or virtual.

Once all the dross and obstructions are removed (opus remotionis), participation in the overworld takes place in the form of a vision or an enlightenment. As the peak of the ascetical path, this point also represents at the same time the beginning of a truly continuous, progressive ascent that realizes states of being truly superior to the human condition.

The essential ideals of the ascetical path are the universal as knowledge and knowledge as liberation."

~ Julius Evola, Revolt Against the Modern World

"You, ye Druids... you who dwell in deep woods in sequestered groves: your teaching is that the shades of the dead do not make their way to the silent abode of Erebus or the lightless realm of Dis below, but that the same soul animates the limbs in another sphere. If you sing of certainties, death is the centre of continuous life. Truly the peoples on whom the Pole Star shines are happy in their error, for they are not harassed by the greatest of terrors, the fear of death. This gives the warrior his eagerness to rush upon the steel, a spirit ready to face death, and an indifference to a life which will return." Lucan, 1st century


"Five hundred doors, and forty eke, I think, are in Valhalla. Eight hundred Einherjar will at once from each door go when they issue with the wolf to fight."
~ Grimnismal, 23

In the Poetic Edda, Odin in the guise of Grimnir describes Valgrind, the great gate of Valhalla, as having 540 doors. During Ragnarok, 800 Einherjar will pass through each door to fight against the wolf Fenrir.

Interestingly, 800 warriors through each of the 540 doors equals 432,000, which is the number of years in the Kali Yuga, as described in the Vedic scriptures.

432,000 heavenly Einherjar will fight alongside Odin at the end of this yuga, one for each year of the dark age. Odin, the Einherjar, and most of the gods will heroically fall during Ragnarok, but the forces of evil will be defeated and a new world based upon Dharma will rise again.

Hail Odin!
Hail the Einherjar!
Hail Lord Kalki!

"A man must elevate himself by his own mind, not degrade himself. The mind is the friend of the conditioned soul, and his enemy as well. For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his very mind will be the greatest enemy."
- Bhagavad Gita, 6.5-6

"You become like that upon which you meditate. This is one of the most powerful and transformative psychological principles of Yoga spirituality and of Dharma." - Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya

What you fill your mind with; the association you surround yourself with; what you see, what you hear and what you think of, is what you will become.
YOU are in control of what you will become.
