Parashurama, the sixth avatar of Vishnu, is the warrior-sage — a brahmin who took up the axe to rid the world of arrogant, tyrannical kings. Disciplined, devoted and immortal, he bridges the worlds of the scholar and the warrior.
"His axe was a gift from Shiva himself, and with it he reshaped the very coastline of the land."
Guru to great heroes like Bhishma and Karna, Parashurama represents discipline, justice and the courage to stand against the powerful. A child named Parashurama carries strength tempered by wisdom.
