Ramayan Quiz-3: Which Powerful Weapon did Sri Ram use to defeat Ravana in the War? -

Sri Ram and Lakshmana Ji used normal weapons for most of the time, unless a powerful demon entered the battlefield. They used sonic archery to kill Invisible demons too.

Sri Ram shot Ravana in the navel with a powerful weapon called Bramhastra to defeat him.

Have you heard about ancient weapon called Sudarshan Chakra which was used by Shri Krishna to behead powerful enemies like Hayagriva, Rahu, Shishupal, etc.

Ashwathama, son of Dronacharya, & Arjuna, the disciple of Dronacharya, both used Bramhashirastra at the fag end of the Mahabharat war.

Ved Vyasa was able to stop the Brahmasira astra hurled by Arjuna and Ashwathamma and had asked them to withdraw it for the good of mankind. This shows the capability of Maharishi Ved Vyasa.

Agneyastra is a normal arrow energised by Agneyastra mantra.

Dev Guru Brihaspati gave this knowledge first to Rishi Bharadwaj who passed it on to Aacharya Drona from whom Arjuna received. Agneyastra turns into a shower of fierce arrows which give out flames of fire.

Other than Arjuna, others who knew the use of Agneyastra were Bhishma, Karna & Sri Krishna. Chiranjivi Ashwathama also knows about it.

Interesting Facts About The Ramayana

Was Sri Ram born on Ram Navami?

The date and time of Sri Ram’s birth is determined as 12:30 pm on January 10, 5114 BCE. The date of Rama’s birth can be accurately calculated using a planetarium software.

If Sri Ram was born on that date, why do we celebrate Ram Navami around March end-April mid? The reason for this is the concept of precision of equinox where one day is adjusted for every 72 years. Thus over a 7,200-year-period, it works to around 100 days between January 10 and April 15.
