Brahmastra is an arrow created by Brahma. One of the deadliest of weapons that a person can possess, it is in the likeness of a nuclear weapon. When a Brahmastra is used there will be famine on earth and for 12 years there would be no flora and fauna where it was used, unless the weapon is withdrawn properly following the procedure laid down in the scriptures.
