Mythology का असली सच: RAMAYAN, MAHABHARAT aur DEVDUTT PATTNAIK
In this episode, Shikhar lifts the curtain on misunderstood, misrepresented, or rarely discussed facets of Indian mythology with Devdutt Pattanaik—from why only men dominate myth-writing, to the secret truths of Bhairav temples and the so-called “death of curiosity” in today’s Insta-reel culture. Expect candid takes on the Mahabharata, the real meaning of karma, the complex love of Radha-Krishna, and the shocking stories mainstream narratives skip—plus practical wisdom inspired by the “Business Sutra.”
