Err ... AFAIK there is no such things like Brahmanda Astra.

The actual event refer to Vashishta, a sage who managed to block all celestial weapons.

There is an evil sage challenging him. Trying to prove his superiority over Vashishta. This evil sage owned almost all celestial weapons, including Brahmastra.

The evil sage then use all of his astra to Vashishta.

Vashishta easily negated all celestial weapons thrown at him, including Brahmastras, using ordinary wooden stick enhanced with his sage power (similar to Lancelot's Knight of Owner) which not so surprising as he is told to be among sages with highest knowledge and Brahma energy during that time.

That Brahmanda Astra is misconception to the wooden stick imbued by sage power accessible only to those with highest knowledge of Brahma.

It happened because no reader can't believe someone can block astra by simply using sage power, especially Brahmastra, so it must be work of enemy sta-- I mean, astra.
