Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Monday, 11 March 2024 is Brahmastra.
The Brahmastra (IAST: Brahmāstra) is an astra (projectile weapon) that is said to be equal to, or more powerful than a nuclear weapon, and known to be able to vanquish all beings. Only Parashurama, Rama, Meghanada, Bhishma, Drona, Karna, Ashwatthama, Arjuna, and Lakshmana possessed the knowledge to invoke this weapon. It is one of the most destructive, powerful, and irresistible weapons mentioned in Hinduism. It was created by Brahma along with its more powerful variants Brahmashirā astra, Brahmanda astra, and Bhargavastra.
