Not Your Mother's Mahabharata
S.P. Jayaraj
Fréquence : 1 épisode/15j. Total Éps: 25
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 24: 12 Years of Exile, Spent Praying, Travelling, and Fornicating
Saison 2 · Épisode 24
lundi 3 février 2025 • Durée 01:17:31
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
Saison 2 · Épisode 23
lundi 20 janvier 2025 • Durée 01:10:25
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.

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.

NYMM 11: ‘Why are Teenagers Warring with my Kingdom?’ Featuring the Pandavas and Drupada.
Saison 1 · Épisode 11
lundi 24 juin 2024 • Durée 52:39
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.

NYMM 10: My Arrows are Bigger than Your Arrows. Featuring Arjuna and Karna.
Saison 1 · Épisode 10
lundi 10 juin 2024 • Durée 01:27:06
We welcome Shanan Custer to tell her the story of the exhibition.
Drona wants to show off all he has taught his students, to bring unity to the Kuru clan and dazzle everyone with Arjuna's unparalleled skill. It doesn't go well. ☹️ Shannan expects the grudge match between Bheem and Duryhodana to be what ruins everything. Azure has specific questions on who did all the arranging. No one was expecting this character to return and level up the boyish taunting.
Who do you think would have won if the contest between Arjuna and Karna went forth? Let us know in the comments section of the episode page

Saison 1 · Épisode 9
lundi 27 mai 2024 • Durée 28:33
For this episode we continue our adventure with Nick Mroczek by introducing him to Ekalavya, the forest kid with archery skills that inexplicably are better than Arjuna's. He claims Drona taught him, but what is the real truth? Nick is skeptical of Ekalavya's methods, and Azure is disgusted with Drona's actions to keep his promise to Arjuna.
What do you think of Ekalavya using just his imagination to perfect his archery? Let us know in the comment section of the episode page.

NYMM 07: The Man With The Golden Chest. Featuring Karna and Parashuram.
Saison 1 · Épisode 7
lundi 29 avril 2024 • Durée 01:21:47
For this episode we welcome Mike Hallenbeck and tell him the origin story of Karna, one of the Mahabharata's leading characters. We first visit Karna in a previous incarnation and decide he was wearing a magical 'croissant' armor when fighting Nara and Narayana. We explore the caste system of the Mahabharat through Karna's inability to find a teacher, and we question Parashuram's 'lap sleeping' style while hearing about the bizarre flesh eating bug demon eating through Karna.
What do you think about Karna's miserable luck? Does having shiny armor skin make up for it? Let us know in the comments section of the episode page.
