A proposito di questo titolo

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 somewhere between 3000 BC and 1500 BCE


‘Not Your Mother’s Mahabharata with SP Jayaraj’ is a podcast where S.P. Jayaraj tell the story conversationally to his wife Azure Anderson and to friends, most of whom have never heard of the tale. Listeners familiar and unfamiliar with the epic are treated to their entertainingly honest first reactions.
Doing it conversationally as opposed to it being a straight up reading allows there to be variations in the story and the chance to pick apart some of the ideas about life that the Mahabharat brings to the forefront.

This podcast’s goal is to make this great work accessible, and entertaining to an adult audience. Come in expecting some laughs, some pop culture tangents, and some adult language.
This is a labor of devotion to the Mahabharat quite unlike any other you might come across.

  • NYMM 45: The Finest Humiliation
    Jan 6 2026

    Satish tells Azure and only Azure, (not counting all our fabulous listeners), a satisfying chapter of the battle between the Kauravas and the Pandavas for our season 3 finale.

    Someone has been spying on the Pandavas, except their loyal cousin Krishna knows and has been feeding him information to take back to the Kauravas. It leads to the Kauravas wanting to humiliate the Pandavas, but as always there are curve balls in the story.

    S.P. Jayaraj is a mythology and Mahabharat fanatic and the creator of the mythic world of Adijari that is the setting of his two novels, The Secret of the Zipacna Dragons and Legacy of the Crow. He is also a Creative Life Coach through his business Imagination Life Coaching.

    He draws inspiration from global mythology.

  • RE-RELEASE: NYMM 15: The Fire Born Woman Burning Every Man's Loins.
    Dec 23 2025

    RE-RELEASE

    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.

    Mindy Mejia is a best selling Mystery Author. Her lates book, a World of Hurt is the latest in her Iowa Mystery Series. https://mindymejia.com/
