Why Parashuram Killed His Mother?

Parashuram, often known as the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu, is the only incarnation that is immortal. He is said to be one of the seven Chiranjeevis (Immortals) and will be alive till the end of Kaliyuga on Earth.

Parashuram was born to a pious sage Jamadagni and his wife Renuka. Although he was born in a Brahmana family, he called himself a Kshatriya-Brahaman as he chose the life of a warrior, to fight and destroy the abuse of the Kshatriyas who at the time were misusing their powers to hurt the innocent. He thought himself weaponry to fight against the Kshatriya kings and eradicated the presence of many Kshatriyas kingdoms on Earth. The wealth and land that he owned upon winning the battles would be donated to the Brahmanas and poor people.

Parashuram despite being an incarnation Vishnu, is often known as the one who killed his mother. While this is considered to be a huge sin as per the Hindu, the full story behind this incident is often not known.

Parashuram’s mother Renuka once set out to the bank of Ganges to fetch some water. There she saw a handsome Prince sporting in the water with some beautiful women. The man was actually Chitraratha, the king of the Gandharvas and the beautiful women surrounding him were the Apsaras from heaven. Renuka felt strongly attracted to the Prince and wished to be in his company. In his charming beauty, she lost all sense of time and overstayed there gazing at the Prince. She had completely forgotten that her husband Jamadagni was waiting for her to begin his yagya. When she came back to her senses, she immediately rushed back to her ashram to serve her husband.
