10 Most Powerful Astras in Hinduism | Why Brahmastra Was Not Number One

Everyone knows about Brahmastra. But was it really the most powerful astra in Hinduism? In this video, I take you through the 10 most powerful astras from the Mahabharata, Ramayana and ancient Indian tradition. From Karna’s Vasavi Shakti to Indrajit’s Nagapasha, from the Vaishnavastra that only Krishna could stop to the terrifying Brahmashirastra fired at Uttara’s unborn child, each weapon came with immense power and even greater consequences. You will also discover why Arjuna received Shiva’s Pashupatastra but never used it, how Krishna used Sudarshana Chakra against Shishupala, and why the final weapon on this list is not what most people expect. Because the real lesson of these astras is not destruction. It is restraint. Subscribe to Temple Girl for more stories from India’s temples, scriptures and ancient wisdom. Jai Shri Krishna.
