Lord Shiva directing Parashurama to visit Holy Places

Holy Places: Lord Shiva directing Parashurama to visit Holy Places:

(Brahmanda Purana - 24)

Lord Parashurama

• Meditation: I meditate on the Parashurama Avatara of Lord Vishnu.

• Lord Shiva directing Parashurama to visit holy places: Lord Shiva said that he knows his wish and would grant him those things. However, he still does not have adequate power to grasp the weapons and would require more penance. Therefore, he should visit holy places of the earth and take holy bath there. In due course, he will acquire the weapons. Saying this, Lord Shiva disappeared.

• Parashurama visiting holy places: Parashurama then travelled to the holy places of the earth and took holy bath there following the scriptural injunctions. He visited the sacred temples and propitiated the Devas and the Pitris. In this manner he became purified. Then he returned to his place of penance and continued his worship of Lord Shiva be means of austerities.
