A Thread 🧵 on some amazing facts about Brahmastra

Brahmastra is considered the most powerful and destructive weapon ever created, attributed to Bhagwan Brahma, the creator of the Universe.

India's ancient history is rich with references to powerful and divine weapons, especially in epics like the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and the Puranas. These weapons ranged from physical arms like bows and swords to divine astras (celestial weapons) invoked with mantras and granted by gods.

🌺।।Some incredible facts about Brahmastra।।🌺

⚜️1. As per the Shastras, a Brahmastra is an astra, or celestial weapon created by Bhagwan Brahma. It is sometimes known as the Brahma Astra. As described in a number of the Puranas, Brahmastra is considered to be the very deadliest of all weapons.

When a Brahmastra is discharged, neither a counterattack nor a defense of any kind can stop it. In ancient Sanskrit writings, the Brahmastra was a weapon created by Brahma, along with its more powerful versions like Brahmashira Astra and Brahmanda Astra. Brahmastra and Brahmashira Astra are said to be equivalent of modern day atomic weapons, nuclear and thermonuclear bombs respectively.

But, Do you know ?

⚜️MAHABHARATA ALSO TELLS 10 VERY INTERESTING LOVE STORIES WHICH VERY FEW PEOPLE KNOW⚜️

Let's explore in this Thread 🧵

Beautiful love stories are one of the most important aspects of Mahabharata.

While some of these love stories that we are going to talk about might be popular, but many are still unknown to the most.

⚜️1. SRI KRISHNA AND RUKMINI

Though most of the stories tell the tale of how Krishna fell in love with Radha, the Vedas do not talk about Radha at all. Instead, it is mentioned that Krishna’s favorite was Rukmini, among his 7 other wives. The story is full of drama as he fell in love with Rukmini and abducted her against her parent’s will. Rukmini was also in love with Krishna, and they both married to live happy thereafter. Some consider Rukmini to be the incarnation of Goddess Laxmi.

⚜️2. ARJUNA AND ULOOPI

Arjuna had four wives, and among them, Uloopi was the second. They met when Arjun was in exile. But it is interesting how in this case Uloopi was the one who abducted Arjun and convinced him to get married. Ulupi was the Naga princess with a half-maiden and half-serpent body. Later, they even had a son named Iravan. Ulupi also granted Arjuna a boon that the water kingdom will obey him and that he will never be defeated underwater.

Here are 12 Incredibly amazing facts that every Vishnu Bhakt must know;

A Thread🧵

⚜️1. Bhagwan Brahma was born from the navel of Sri Vishnu

Legends have it that Sri Vishnu is depicted reclining on a snake bed in the ocean of the cosmos. As he is engaged in Yoga Nidra (meditative sleep) for ages on this thousand-headed serpent called Adisesha with Lakshmi, his consort offers her services to the God.

When Vishnu woke up, a lotus flower rose from his belly, and later, when his flower blossomed, it gave birth to Bhagwan Brahma. Brahma saw Vishnu, paid his respects to the God, and then started the creative process with Sri Vishnu’s blessings and created the world.

⚜️2. Bhagwan Vishnu’s Footprint

A temple known as Vishnupad is famous for the 40 cm long footprint of Lord Vishnu. Also known as Dharmasila, this temple is located along the Falgu River, and the footprint has nine symbols, including Shankam, Chakram, and Gadham. These are said to symbolize the weapons of Sri Vishnu. Vishnupad is engraved on a solid rock and is immured in a silver basin.
