Parasurama Jayanthi
Parasurama Jayanthi is observed on Vaishkha Shudda Tadiya (third day of Shukla Paksha in Vaishakha Masam). This day is also celebrated as Akshay Tritiya. In 2010, Parasurama Jayanti date is May 16, 2010.
Parsu is a weapon like axe adopted by Lord Parasuram. Lord Parasuram was the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Parashuram was born in Satyu-Yuga and stayed alive till Mahabharata time (Dwapara Yuga). Some scriptures say that Lord Parashuram will stay alive until the Universe faces the Mahapralaya (deluge).
Significance and Purpose of Parasurama Avatar:
The main purpose of the avatar of Lord Parashurama, the sixth incarnation of Vishnu, to make the earth free from the burden of cruel kshatriya kings by defeating the evilness of them as they neglected their regular duties as kings.
The kshatriya kings of the earth became very cruel and were performing many anti-religious acts in the Satya-Yug. Goddess Prithvi (Mother Earth) was unbearable of all these ridiculous acts of the kings and went to Lord Sri Maha Vishnu and worshipped the Lord to relieve her form this. Lord Vishnu appeared in front of Mother Earth and assured that he will incarnate as Parasurama, a . Parasuram has taken revenge of his fathers brutal murder by a kshatriya king and relieved the Mother Earth by slaying all kshatriya kings of the earth.
Temples and Holy Places of Lord Parashuram:
Lord Parasurama was the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, but he is not worshipped as much as Lord Sri Rama and Lord Sri Krishna. The worship of Lord Parasurama is also very strange as we cant compare it with other worship procedures, as the Lord is the Avesha Avatara like Lord Narasimha Swamy.
In Maharahstra, there is a temple for Lord Parsurama at Lote Parshurama in Ratnagiri district. The Konkan area is called as Parashurama Bhoomi (the land of Parshurama) because Lord Parshurama is considered as the creator of the Konkan coast. There are several temples for Lord Parsuram in Gujarat (Bharuch and Songadh), Maharashtra (Akkalkot, Khopali) and in Jammu Kashmir (Akhnoor).
Rituals and Customs of Parsurama Jayanti:
Parsurama Jayanti is a very important festival for Brahmins as the Lord was also a brahmin. They worship him with utmost devotion and in regions; people observe fasting as the festival coincides with Akshay Tritiya.

Who is a Brahmin?
he belief that people born in brahmin caste, automatically become brahmins, is a much later concept in the very ancient land of India. In the pre-Gita period (before the beginning of the Christian era) a Brahmin was a person who had attained highest spiritual knowledge (brahmavidya). This was an extremely difficult path of discipline of body, mind , and intellect, and people irrespective of their birth or class, who dedicated to such an austere life were recognized as brahmins.
A great example of this tradition (that a person becoming a brahmin, rather than born as one) is the case of Vishwamitra, a warrior (kshatriya), who became a brahmin after attaining brahmavidya, and composed the Gayatri mantra, the most sacred hymn of the Hindus.
A smritis, or code of conduct composed by sage Atri defines brahminhood very clearly.
"By birth, every man is a Shudra (an ignorant person). Through various types of disciplines (samskaras), he becomes a dwija (twice born). Through the studies of scriptures, he becomes a vipra (or a scholar). Through realization of supreme spirit (brahmajnana), he becomes a brahmin."
The Bhagavad-Gita divides1 the class of people into four categories of Brahmana, Kshtriya, Vaishya, and Shudra depending on the traits (svabhava) inherent in individuals.

True enemies of brahmins
Who are the true enemies of brahmins?
some brahmins themselves are real enemies of rest of brahmins.I prefer to call these enemies as Hindu mullahs.
Such elements constitute around 3 to 4% of brahmin population. Number of OBC mullahs and FC mullahs too will be similiar.(In my opinion). They bring disrepute and disgrace to the rest of brahmins, rest of hindu castes and entire hindu religion and India itself.
In my opinion such elements dont even qualify to be called as humans.These Hindu mullahs will say the follows
1. They will openly proclaim that brahmins are superior to rest of 3 varnas
2.will openly propogate varnashrama system
3.will call tamil as inferior to sanskrit
4.will say that people who did punya in previous birth are born as brahmins and sinners are born in other 3 varnas
5.will dream of bringing back old varnashrama
6.will openly propogate that people should go back to caste based jobs.
7.Will say that sathi and child marriage should be bought back
8.Will say that eating together with non-brahmins is "theettu"
9.will oppose intercaste marriages, love mariages and women going to work.
Hindu mullahs can be found in all hindu castes.Devar mullahs prevent dalits from pulling temple charriot in kandadevi.Vanniyar mullahs prevent dalits from going in procession in their streets even when they carry dead bodies.
Such enemies should be outcasted immediatly.They should be declared as racists and enemies of humanity and should be packed off to arabia. I would even encourage them to convert into christians or muslims where conservatism is welcomed. Please go and spoil those religions. Dont spoil my religion.

RISHI SHARNG - SIKHWAL
Shringi Rishi was the legendary Indian Hindu saint or Rishi of sage Kashyapa's lineage. Shringi Rishi was great saint of the Ramayan era of ancient India. His father was great saint Vibhandak Rishi.
[edit] Overview
Shringi Rishi performed 'Putrakameshti Yajya' for King Dashrath of Ayodhya, after that Lord Rama and his three brothers were born. There is an ashram of Shringi Rishi situated at Ayodhya on the banks of Sarayu river near Laxman Ghat.Legend has it that Shringi Rishi cursed King Parikshit for his sinful conduct against rishi Lomash. The boons and curse uttered by him were proved to be absolutely true. Rishi Shringi was a distinguished expert of the super science of mantras. A temple of Shringi Rishi, is also located at Banjar in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, in whose honour a fair is held every year in May. A cave is also located in district Sirmaur near Nahan in Bagthan where he is supposed to have stayed. It is a long cave where he is supposed to do yagna and worth seeing.
Sikhwal (also known as Sukhwal, Shringi) are one of the prominent Brahmin sects of Rajasthani Brahmins who trace their origin from the great sage Rishi Shringi (or Rishi Shring). Rishi Shringi was the son of Sage Vibhandak, himself a highly respected Vedic scholar of Kashyaap linage. Rishi Shringi is credited in Indian mythology as the inventor of ‘Putrakameshti Yagna’, the Vedic sacrifice for begetting a male progeny. This first ever Putrakameshti Yagna was performed by Rishi Shringi for the Suryawanshi Emperor Dashrath of Ayodhya (of Ikshavaku lineage) and the outcome of this Yagna was the birth of Lord Rama, the great Indian God-king and revered ‘Avtaar’ (incarnation) of Lord Vishnu, the powerful god in the holy Hindu trinity of Brahma-Vishnu-Mahesh. Lord Rama was born with the blessings of the Gods who were appeased by Rishi Shringi with powerful mantras. Three more sons were born to Dashrath besides Rama (born to his eldest Queen, Devi Kaushlya) Laxman, Bharat and Shatrughna born to Devi Sumitra and Devi Kaikayee, the other two Queens of Emperor Dashrath.
The Yagna was an elaborate affair spreading over twelve days and was performed with much fanfare befitting its uniqueness. The legend has it that Emperor Dashrath’s only daughter, the beautiful young Princess Shanta, who was actively involved in the organizing of the Yagna, fell in love with the handsome and scholarly young sage Shringi. Her brother, Emperor Dashrath understood her feelings and on the occasion of ‘Poornaahuti’ (final sacrifice offered to gods, announcing the completion of Yagna process) proposed royal princess Shanta’s hand in marriage to Rishi Shringi. They were married and had eight sons and many daughters. All the sons born out of the alliance were highly respected for their knowledge of the holy Vedas and involved themselves in scholarly pursuits. Their descendants were later organized into the sub-sect of Brahmins, called Sikhwal Brahmins (also known as Sukhwal, Shringi Brahmins)
Though Rishi Shringi was a Brahmin and Princess Shanta was born to Suryawanshi Kshatriya family, such alliances were not very uncommon in the era as both Brahmins and Kshatriya communities represented the elite class of the Hindu society.
Cities of Jaipur, Ajmer, Kota and Udaipur and many other places in Rajasthan, Kolkota in West Bengal, Hyderabad and Vijaywada in Andhra Pradesh, Mumbai, Nasik, Jalgaon, Akola, Amravati, Latur and other places in Maharashtra have a significant presence of Sikhwal Brahmin population. Today, the Sikhwals are spread all over India and also in USA and Europe.
Other prominent Rajasthani Brahmin sub-sects are Gaur, Gujar-Gaur, Daima (also called Dayama or Dadeech), Pareek, Khandelwal (not to be confused with the ‘Vaisha’ community of the same name) and Saraswat Brahmins.
In Rajasthan the other five castes i.e. Guar, Gujar-Gaur, Daima, Pareek and Khandelwal [not vaisha] together form Chh-Nyatee Bhai. Though they do not marry among themselves, but share a strong social bonding and invite each other on all auspicious occasions. In Pushkar near Ajmer in state of Rajasthan, India, Sikhwal Brahmins have an inn and a temple dedicated to Shringi Rishi.
Shringi Rishi Ashram
40 Km away from Faizabad after reaching Gosaiganj and 8 Km from Bandanpur there is a Market called Mehbubganj you reach to Sherwaghat.There is also an ashram of Shringi Rishi.

BRAHMIN
Under the Indian caste system, a Brahmin is a member of the highest caste. Priests and scholars are classified as Brahmins, and members of this caste have traditionally been figures of veneration and respect. The high ranking caste has traditionally held a great deal of power over Indian society, with many laws and social norms being instituted by the Brahmins. This may have been an act of self-preservation on the part of early members of the caste, although it was probably justified by arguing that Brahmins were highly educated and thus able to interpret the will of the gods accurately.
