Parashurama: The Brahmin Who Took Up the Axe of the Gods

🔥 When the kings forgot their duty, a priest picked up an axe.
Born to a family of sages, Parashurama was meant to pray, not fight — but when corruption spread through the warrior clans, faith alone was no longer enough.
This is the story of the Brahmin who became a destroyer — the man who punished power and then laid his weapon to rest.
