    About Bhargava's

Bhargava Rama was a Brahmin warrior in the lineage of Bhrigus. He was also known as Parasurama. The illustrious Bhrigu was born from Brahman. The learned Sukra is Bhrigu’s son. The planet Sukra (Planet Venus) is named after him. He became the spiritual guide of both the Daityas (enemies of Gods) and the Devas (Gods). Bhrigu begot another excellent son. This was Chyavana. Arushi, the daughter of Manu, became the wife of Chyavana. And, on her was begotten Aurva of great reputation. Aurva begot Richika. And Richika begot Jamadagni. The high-souled Jamadagni had four sons. The youngest of them all was Rama (Parasurama).

  Normally the occupation of Brahmins in India were that of teaching, priesthood, officiating of sacrifices, performing of penaces etc. But some of them were warriors. They also taught the science of warfare. The Bhrigus or Bhargavas were one among the warrior class of Bhrahmins. Their main weapon was battle-axe which in Sanskrit was known as Parasu. Hence Bhargava Rama was popular in the name Parasu-Rama.Parasurama got his name Parasu since his favourate weaon was axe or parusu in sanskrit. His original name is Bhargava Rama Bhargava is also the first name of many indians especially from the south India (Mostly brahmins)                 

 About Parashuramji

 Parashurama, a Brahman or Parasurama the sixth avatar of Vishnu, belongs to the Treta yuga, and is the son of Jamadagni and Renuka. Parashu means axe, hence his name literally means Rama-with-the-axe. He received an axe after undertaking a terrible penance to please Shiva, from whom he learned the methods of warfare and other skills. He fought the advancing ocean back thus saving the lands of Konkan and Malabar (Maharashtra - Karnataka - Kerala coastline). The coastal area of Kerala state along with the Konkan region, i.e., coastal Maharashtra and Karnataka, is known as Parashurama Kshetra (Parashurama's area). Some say it extends all the way to Mumbai in Maharashtra. Parashurama is said to be a "Brahma-Kshatriya" (of the duty between a Brahmana and a Kshatriya), the first warrior saint and a descendant of the Brahmarshi Vishvamitra.
