Not Your Mother's Mahabharata

著者: S.P. Jayaraj
  • 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 14: The Fire Born Woman Burning Every Man's Loins. Featuring Draupadi, Kunti, and the Pandavas.
    2024/08/18

    Today we were happy to have two guests with us! Mystery author Mindy Mejia and our other good friend, clay artist and yoga teacher Jenna Jo Bodling!
    Satish really wanted an extra lady at the podcast table to introduce everyone to Draupadi, the dark skinned beauty that every king, prince, warrior and teenage boy wants for themselves - How will the pandavas resolve their desire for one woman?
    Before we get to that, Satish tells the story of Arjuna's hot headed encounter with an elf and how that encounter probably helps the Pandavas keep their cool when facing the enemies who tried to kill them.
    It's a laugh filled culture challenging season finale to Not Your Mother's Mahabharata.

    Today we welcome our dear friend Andy Blissenbach and tell him all about Bheem's killing, mating, and fathering of demons- It's a wild ride!

    Satish comes in making parallels between Andy and Bheema - He is particularly happy to introduce him to the powerhouse Pandava, Azure and Andy set each other off on the literal naming of characters in the epic, and we scratch the surface of some of the dietary wisdom within the Mahabharat.

  • NYMM 12: The Roof, the Walls, the Floor- It's all on fire! Featuring the House of Lac.
    2024/07/22

    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.

    What did you think of our heroes sacrificing the Nishada family?​
