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.

With Jarasandha no longer a threat, The younger Pandava brothers need to go far and wide to gather tribute for the oldest brother's emperor ceremony.
Satish tells Azure about each of the brothers journeys and how it intersects with stories and characters already told. Ghatotkacha returns to help them reach the land of Lanka and the epic story of the Ramayana that took place before the Mahabharata.
Then, everyone is invited for the emperor ceremony, the Rajasuya, including the Kauravas who are fulling included in the process. But Duryhodana has an embarrassing moment that leaves a bitter and possibly false memory.
