Video Description
Ranjit Radhakrishnan reveals the hidden theological depth and civilisational significance of Bhagavan Paraśurāma, India's most misunderstood Vishnu Avatāra. Discover why this warrior-sage has been overshadowed by Rāma and Kṛṣṇa, what the Puranas actually say about his Shakti Avesha status, and how his legacy shaped Kalaripayattu, Kerala's sacred geography, and temple traditions across India. The Author, decodes the Manvantara Avatāra framework while exposing why the narrative of Paraśurāma as merely violent and vengeful is a profound misreading of Puranic scripture. Essential viewing for students of Indian mythology, Puranic studies, and Hindu civilisational heritage seeking to reclaim a complete understanding of the Dashavatara.
