In ramayana when lord Rama was going back to ayodhya after marrying mother Sita and breaking the bow of lord Shiva, lord Parshurama was angry at him and couldnt recognise him.
Since lord Parashurama was the avatar of lord himself , how come he couldnt recognise him.
Also there is story of how lord Parashurama fought with lord Ganesh in anger after he told him that he couldnt meet lord Shiva since he was in meditation and then how in fight he broke the tooth of lord Ganesh .
So why did such lilas happen.

In my view, Parashurama didn't truly fail to recognize Rama; the encounter was part of the divine lila. His challenge allowed Rama's divinity to be revealed, after which Parashurama immediately accepted him and stepped aside, marking the completion of his own mission. Similarly, the episode with Ganesha teaches a spiritual lesson through divine play, not divine ignorance.
Hare Krishna,
These two leelas show that Lord Parashurama who is Supreme Lord Himself wanted to glorify Lord Shiva.
There is always mutual respect and love between Supereme Personality of Godhead and Lord Shiva.
In the first leela. Lord Parashurama ( who is the incarnation of Lord) wanted to give respect to Lord Shiva by showing anger against the person who broke the Lord Shiva's Bow. Just to show that He gives respect to Lord Shiva. Secondly then He also shows respect to the weilder of the bow who is none other than HIMSELF. This is to prove to the people like us that Lord Shiva's bow is respectable and should not be disrespected or broken yet only one person can break it HE HIMSELF.
Initially anger was just to show to people like us that Lord Shiva is very dear to Lord Parushurama that is incarnation of Supreme Lord Himself.
Secondly to show people like us..that only HE ( that is either Parashurama or Lord Shree Rama) has the power to break it.
Second story is also showing almost similar aspect. Lord Parshurama shows utmost respect to Lord Shiva and rushes to meet Lord Shiva. When a devotee wants to meet the Lord then no one can come in between. ( One time Jaya Vijaya door keepers stopped Sankaadi muni at the entrance of Vaikunta .. What happened thereafter we all know.
That is what happens to anyone who stops a devotee from reaching the Lord. This fact was shown and displayed again in this leela.
And when Lord parashurama cast the Lord Shiva Presented Axe .Lord Ganesha shows utmost respect to His Father and accepted it with grace and reverence to show to people like us that .. how a son should respect the boon given by his own father and accept it with grace. Ganesha can be subdued only by that weapon .. this shows how a son respects his father.
All these stories should never be literally read and commented.
Each one has a lesson and moral value to be learnt.
The lessons learnt from these above stories are--
1. There is no differences between Lord Shiva and Supreme personality of Godhead. They respect each other.
2. Lord Shiva's weapon was respected by Lord Parushurama ( as HE got angry)
3. At the same time Lord Rama ( who is Lord's avatara as well) can only has the power to break it. .. ( If I own something.. I only have the power to break it or keep it.. Lord Shiva presented Lord Parashurama that bow) He alone can either keep it, show respect or break it.
4. How Lord Parashurama used Lord Shiva given axe to subdue Lord Ganesha. ( because He clearly knows a son cannot go against his own father's given boon)
5. I also learnt that Lord Ganesha's love and respct for His father.
Such leelas are ment for teaching us.
Hare Krishna
Thank you mataji
I also head that the bow represents the ego of ours which cannot be even picked by anyone and only lord could bresk it.
