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.

Satish welcomes his old friend Grant Boulanger to the episode. No need to hash out what has happened before this time, because Nothing Has happened. Satish begins with Vishnu's origin on the primordial ocean and the stories that led to Brahma first and then Shiva. If you listened to our last episode, you'll recognize the story of the guards of Indra's realm, Jaya and Vijaya, who finally left this earth after their time as Shishupala and Dantavakra.
Grant Boulanger is an educator, a potter, an artist.

Grant would like you to know about and support "Transforming Families"
Transforming Families is a community where transgender, gender non-conforming, and questioning youth and their families come together to support each other in a safe, welcoming space. At our monthly gatherings, separate breakout groups for parents, kids, siblings, and teens provide the opportunity to meet and learn from other people traveling the same path.
Families meet other families to share, talk, and hang out. We're here to listen to each other's stories, exchange resources, build community, and have fun! It's a simple idea that works.
