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 55: A Wedding, an Emissary, and a Choice Between a God and his Army.
    Jul 7 2026

    Long time friend Peter Stein joins us as the Pandavas announce their return through a royal wedding.

    The Pandavas exile is finally over, although Duryodhana tries to convince them to stay in exile, the Pandavas are not having it as they celebrate the wedding of Arjuna's son Abhinmayu. The Pandavas allies also discuss how to deliver their stance to Hastinapur to let them know firmly that they want what is owed to them after sticking to the terms of the dice roll 13 years ago. Then, Arjuna and Duryodhana go to see Krishna to try and get him to join their side in the upcoming war.

    S.P. Jayaraj is 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. The Mahabharata and other global mythology inspires him in all his projects.

    NYMM 54: Encounters with the Mahavidyas
    Jun 23 2026

    We meet five of the ten forms of Shakti known as the Mahavidyas.

    Craig Hewitt comes by fresh from seeing Satish tell stories of Shiva and Shakti. A couple internet binges later, Satish has some complementary stories that focus largely on the ten forms of Shakti- stories that seem to be lesser known despite being awesome.

    NYMM 53: Arjuna vs Everyone. Battle of the Pointy Things.
    Jun 8 2026

    Jeenee Lee couldn't stay away. She needed to know how the battle played out and who can blame her.

    After laughing from seeing the eunuch and teenage boy running away from them, the mighty Kaurava army now see the odd pair coming back and waving the Hanuman banner- Arjuna is no longer hiding.

    Yet, things have changed drastically. Drona of the Kauravas is seeing the signs of their defeat, but in sharing them, it leads to a chain reaction of mass squabbling between them. They don't have a chance to fully get over it before Arjuna relishes using his Gandiva bow that he hasn't used in over a year.

    it's an epic battle of Arjuna vs all his rivals and teachers.

    Then, when he returns, Yudhishthira is careful to keep an injury he suffered from Arjuna, or risk greater calamity.
