Why did Parashuram opted to be a warrior instead of a guru ?

We know that Parashuram avatar is the 5 th avatar of God Vishnu .


Parashuram was the fifth child of couple saint Jamadagni and Renuka .


In ancient India , the main work of a saint is to teach . They were honoured by people who called them guru .

Saint Jamadagni was in the land ruled by king Kartha Veerarjun . King had a feeling that saints are misguiding the people by giving lectures against the king .



That's why he was always giving trouble to saints . He stopped giving financial assistance to their schools . Also he ordered his soldiers to burn their houses and to arrest them and beat them.


Parashuram since his birth was watching all these evil works of the king . Obviously he developed hate against kings in his mind .


Parashuram as a child only  , refused to follow his father's teaching profession . He wanted to be a warrior so that he can fight with kings .


He left his house in search of a guru who can teach him war skills . By watching his skills in fighting  , God Shiva himself had agreed to be his guru .
