The date of Parasurama Jayanthi 2012 is on 23rd April 2012. Lord Parasurama is the sixth avatar of Maha Vishnu. Parasurama Jayanthi is celebrated on the third day of Shukla Paksha in the Vaishakha Masam in Hindu calendar. Usually Parashurama Jayanti falls one day before the Akshaya Tritiya day.
Lord Parasurama was born as the son of Sage Jamadagni and Renuka. Parashurama is regarded as the first warrior Brahman (Brahmakshatriya) or the first warrior saint. The aim of Parasurama’s birth is to save the Mother Nature from the kshatriya kings who neglected their duties and strayed from the path of Dharma.
