Not Your Mother's Mahabharata
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 04: Always Blink When Sexing a Sage.
Kate Shuknecht joins us to hear the tragic fate of Vichitravirya, and how Satyavati and Bheeshma argue on how to continue the bloodline. They discover a solution in Satyavati's secret son. Kate is sympathetic to kings and their responsibilities, and Azure, Kate, and Satish wishes Vyasa could have done something to mask his odor before sexy-time. Satish then tells the varying stories of Ghandari and her motivations.
Why do you think Ghandari put on the blindfold? Answer in the comments section of the episode website.
