  • 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 22: Wives, Demons, Devas and Deaths, in no particular order: Krishna Chronicles 6
    2025/01/06

    For our final episode of the Krishna Chronicles we entertain musician Steven Zubich. We've come to the end of this lovely tangent, yet the finale holds all the drama. Satish presents the stories of how Krishna gets his many wives, (and we mean MANY wives) not all of whom get along. We hear how Krishna defeats foes whom even he can't kill, and how he decisively deals with a really foolish imposter.
    Azure and Steven are jaw dropping entertained between the epic-ness and pettiness of today's story.

    Pianist Steven Zubich is an alumnus of the Perpich Center for Arts Education in Golden Valley, Minnesota. He earned a B.A. in music from the University of Minnesota-Duluth where he studied solo and collaborative piano with Tracy Lipke-Perry. At UMD, he received extensive musical training through supplemental coursework in piano pedagogy, musicology, music theory and composition. He was highlighted with the UMD Symphony Orchestra as the winner of UMD’s 12th Annual Concerto and Aria competition.

    NYMM 21: Parashuram and the otherworldly travels of young Krishna: Krishna Chronicles 5
    2024/12/23

    For our penultimate episode of the Krishna Chronicles we are thrilled to welcome Didi Koka, who comes to us with a little more familiarity with the Dark One which makes for some deeper conversations.
    Satish tells the origin story of Parashuram, the founder of all martial arts who has already appeared numerous times in our podcast.
    Krishna in this episode visits the ocean, and two underworlds to perform miracles for his teacher and adopted mother. We see clear similarities with the stories of Greek Mythology's Orpheus, although with happier endings. Is there nothing this god can't do?

    Didi Koka is a family physician by day and a poet, dancer, drummer and singer by night.

    NYMM 20: A Boar, a Lionman, and a Dwarf walk into a story. Krishna Chronicles 4.5
    2024/12/09

    We continue our Krishna Chronicles with Jenny McDougal by telling her about three more avatars of Vishnu.
    Jenny and Azure try to guess the only animal form that can take on the first invincible demon. We imagine the monstrous form Vishnu takes to deal with the second demon, and Satish tells the more pleasant story of the third invincible demon who is celebrated in Satish's home state of Kerala.
