  • サマリー

  • 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 25: Forest Burning and Mansion Building. Featuring Arjuna, Krishna, Agni, and Mayasura
    2025/02/17

    Trevor Rolando joins us for our 25th episode!

    We close out our last episode story of Arjuna bringing his new wife Subhadra to meet his wife Draupadi.

    Satish tells the story of the burning of the Khandava forest- a story of great significance and featuring gods, cosmic weapons, demons and a few very specific survivors.

    One of whom creates one of the greatest treasures for the Pandavas that will fuel incredible envy in future episodes!

  • NYMM 24: 12 Years of Exile, Spent Praying, Travelling, and Fornicating

    NYMM 24: 12 Years of Exile, Spent Praying, Travelling, and Fornicating
    2025/02/03

    Lindsay Buck joins us to hear all about Arjuna's 12 year exile. Satish takes the opportunity to re-tell the reason for Arjuna's exile with a puppy dog twist. Lindsay's suspicions of multiple characters gives Satish room to talk about multiple variations in the story, while we also throw in some of our own.

    Arjuna visits all the holy sites of ancient India, but it's not all dull walking and mediation. He also meets 'marries' and fornicates - creating whole new families while banned from visiting his first. Krishna also comes in and helps a cousin out when Arjuna can't stop thinking about Krishna's sister Subhadra. We get to tour Krishna's home of Dwaraka through Arjuna's eyes, which has some fun throwbacks to our Krishna Chronicles.

  • NYMM 23: The Brother- Husbands are Back: Featuring Duryhodana, Dritarashtra and the Pandavas

    NYMM 23: The Brother- Husbands are Back: Featuring Duryhodana, Dritarashtra and the Pandavas
    2025/01/20

    We are back to following the story of the Pandavas! After our stint with Krishna, we are pleased to welcome our friend Rachael Gaetz to recap the Pandavas adventures through the eyes of King Dritarashtra.

    Dritarashtra, Duryhodana and Karna are not happy to discover that the Pandavas are still alive and less pleased about their marriage to Draupadi. The scheming begins immediately, but the politics of the situation have vastly changed. They no longer have the upper hand but are still determined to somehow come out on top.
    Rachael is enthralled to hear about these Pandavas marriage to Draupadi. She is curious what the lady Draupadi thinks of Narayana coming in and convincing her men to make a vow about how they spend their time with her.
