This Ganesha Chaturthi, we’re pressing pause on the Dasavatara saga to bring you the ultimate origin story marathon — from the demon Gajasura’s elephant head to Parvati’s turmeric warrior, from Ganesha outsmarting Karthikeya in the “race around the world,” to the infamous birthday feast that made his belly literally burst.

But that’s just the start — we’ll chase the story all the way to Krishna, who accidentally triggers the moon’s curse while milking a cow and gets tangled up in the Syamantaka Gem scandal. How does he fight the rumor, clear his name, and give us the cosmic loophole to escape bad luck on Ganesha Chaturthi?

Spoiler: by listening to this very episode, you’ve already beaten the curse. 🎉

Get ready for wisdom, humor, sweet tooth cravings, and a mythic reminder that you don’t need to fit the mold to be the myth.
