Astra Shastra — Weapons of the Mahabharat "Yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati Bharata..."
Astra Shastra is a Minecraft mod that brings the legendary weapons of the Mahabharat into your world. Wield the divine arms of gods, kings, and warriors from the great Indian epic — each weapon faithful to its scripture, each with abilities worthy of Kurukshetra.
