Concept of Moksha
Lord Parashurama is the son of Rishi Jamadagni and is considered as the 6th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Parashurama followed the path of ruthless punishment through aggression and violence. Lord Hanuman is the son of Marut and is the idol of patience and courage. Hanuman is the protector of truth and Dharma and is now an advocate of peace. The story of Moksha is set during the void between Treta Yuga and Dwapara Yuga. Lord Rama, the prince of Ayodha, had returned to his dwelling at Vaikunth. Lord Hanuman was rumoured to have disappeared, hidden in the Hindukush Mountains, engrossed in meditation. Lord Parshurama was also meditating in Mount Mahendhru and has attained peace within himself. All of the dark forces had been eliminated and all the beings around entire universe were in bliss, until evil arrived again with its full power.
