  • Resumen

  • The Mahabharata is this epic Indian work that encapsulates a great deal of Indian Mythology. It is a magnificent story that is constantly being rewritten and retold since its inception that was either in 3000 BC or 1500 BCE


    ‘Not Your Mother’s Mahabharata with SP Jayaraj’ is a podcast where I tell the story conversationally to my wife and to friends, most of whom have never heard of the tale, and so listeners familiar and unfamiliar with the story are treated to their entertainingly honest first reactions.
    Doing it conversationally as opposed to it being a straight up reading also allows us to examine some of the variations in the story and to pick apart some of the many ideas about life that the Mahabharat brings to the forefront.

    This podcast’s goal is to make this great work accessible, memorable, and entertaining to an adult audience, so come in expecting some laughs, some pop culture tangents, and because it is me, my wife, and our friends, definitely some swears.

    This is a labor of devotion to the Mahabharat quite unlike any other you might come across.

    NYMM 12: The Roof, the Walls, the Floor- It's all on fire! Featuring the House of Lac.
    Jul 22 2024

    Today we welcome our new friend Lindsay Shimizu and tell her the infamous story of the house of lac - the story that creates the first great divide between the Kauravas and the Pandavas. References to game of thrones, modern politics, and other geekdoms galore as we laugh through an otherwise pretty horrific murder plot. 😬 Azure and Lindsay wonder about the indoor plumbing situation of a tinder box mansion, and Satish struggles to stay on topic when Lindsay reveals she's seen one of his favorite Bollywood movies.

    What did you think of our heroes sacrificing the Nishada family?​

    NYMM 11: ‘Why are Teenagers Warring with my Kingdom?’ Featuring the Pandavas and Drupada.
    Jun 24 2024

    Aaron Bodling joins us to hear the story of Drupada as he is attacked by the Kuru clan.

    Drupada is a good king who has ruled by the wisdom he has gained from his guru, so he has no idea why a bunch of teenagers are leading an army against him. Aaron and Azure love the flashback and different version of Drupada's daughter/son Shikhandi. Satish is thrilled to rediscover Drupada's importance in the Mahabharata, and foreshadows galore with the new characters introduced at the end.

    Which of Drupada's three children are you most invested in? Shikhandi, Drishtadyumna, or Draupadi? Answer in the comments section of the episode page.
