"May he inspire us to stand against injustice and remain steadfast on the path of truth. - PM Narendra Modi"

Gandhinagar, April 19

On the occasion of Parshuram Jayanti, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Sunday flagged off the Lord Parshuram Shobha Yatra organised by Samast Brahm Samaj in Gandhinagar.

On this occasion, Gandhinagar Mayor Miraben Patel, MLA Ritaben Patel, City BJP President Ashish Dave, and leaders of Gandhinagar Brahm Samaj were present.

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also greeted the citizens on the occasion of Bhagwan Parshuram Jayanti.PM Modi said that Bhagwan Parashurama inspires us to stand against injustice and remain steadfast on the path of truth.

He noted that Bhagwan Parashurama symbolises unparalleled valour and wisdom.

The Prime Minister expressed hope that with the blessings of Bhagwan Parashurama, every heart is filled with renewed energy and confidence. He also wished that Bhagwan Parashurama's blessings illuminate everyone's lives with happiness, peace and prosperity.

The Prime Minister said in a post on X, "Many best wishes to all of you on Bhagwan Parshuram Jayanti. May he inspire us to stand against injustice and remain steadfast on the path of truth. May the blessings of Bhagwan Parshurama, the symbol of unparalleled valour and wisdom, fill every heart with new energy and new confidence. May his blessings illuminate everyone's life with happiness, peace and prosperity."

Parshuram Jayanti is one of the important festivals in Hinduism as it is the birth anniversary of the sixth avatar of Vishnu. Lord Parshuram Jayanti is celebrated when Tritiya prevails during Pradosh Kaal since it is that Lord Parshurama was born during that period.

A lot of devotees take a bath in the holy Ganga River on Parshuram Jayanti as it is considered to be a sacred ritual to be performed on such religious festivals. It is believed that Lord Vishnu incarnated as Parshurama in human form to destroy the evil on this planet.

Good to see the CM flagging off the yatra. While I appreciate the cultural celebration, I hope equal administrative focus and resources are also going into solving Gandhinagar's water issues and summer preparedness. Balance is key.

As someone new to India, I find the depth of history behind each festival fascinating. Reading about the sixth avatar of Vishnu and the specific timing of the celebration (Tritiya during Pradosh Kaal) is truly educational. The community spirit is beautiful to see.
