UNIQUENESS

Kerala, the land of swaying palms and lacy lagoons; lush green vendure and fabled Kathakali is the gift of that redoubtable Parasurama, the sixth incarnation of Lord Srimannarayana. This celebrated son of that illustrious Jamadagni, one of the brightest luminaries, adorning the Saptarishi Mandala embodies several unique traits chart set him apart from the rest of incarnations of the Lord Protector of the worlds. 

There is a strange combination of intensely formidable extremes in his mental make up and functional modes. He is at once a ferocious man, ready for annihilation of injustice, and a solicitous person for stabilisation of theism. And restoration of tranquility All but fur public good and Jagatkalyana. Contradictious did exist in him and set his life in motion. His unexceptional tenacity that manifested in filial piety, retaliatory ferocity and humane religiocity is second to none but to itself. No incarnated person can stand comparison with him in these aspects. Extremes seem to he ever at war in him and so, whatever emerged turned out spectacular and exemplary fur mankind. Look! When father hack him sever the head of his mother, down went his most potent weapon - Parasu and off flew the head.
