Parashurama Sahasranama Stotram

http://www.brahminsnet.com/forums/showthread.php/2060-Parashurama-Sahasranama-Stotram#.UM3R22U0x1E.gmail

Lord Parashurama's story has been covered in greater detail in two Puranas - Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Brahmanda Purana, though fleeting references may be there in other puranas and Itihasas.
    There are very few temples dedicated to Lord Parashurama. The most important temple is Thiruvallam near Kovalam Beach, Trivandrum, Kerala. I had been to this temple a few years ago and even enquired the main Archakar about Parashurama Ashtottaram/Sahasranama - he mentioned that they use the normal Vishnu Sahasranama and he was not aware of any specific Ashtottaram/Sahasranama on Lord Parashurama. So, one can understand how rare the attached Sahasranama is.
    There also seem to be a few other temples http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parashurama.
    It is believed that most of the Keralite temples follow the procedures prescribed in Parashurama Kalpa.
    In astrology, Parashurama is associated with Venus and Parasurama worship is prescribed for Venus afflictions (Lord Ranganatha of Srirangam is also associated with Venus, though I don't know the astrological reason).

May We All Seek The Blessings of Lord Parashurama on this Parashurama Jayanti Day On 30-Dec-2012!
