Send us a text We welcome back Evan Kingston to tell him some of the strangest stories yet- and that really is saying something! We meet the great and powerful rishi Agastya whose mightiest power is...digestion?? From his own birth, to the creation of his lady friend out of animals, to his ability to seemingly eat and drink anything!- Azure and Evan are so weirded out that they don't even know if they should be rooting for this bizarre yet reputed hero. S.P. Jayaraj is the creator of the myth...
Send us a text While waiting for the arrival of their brother Arjuna, Bheema and Draupadi discover that the flowers of the heavens have found their way to the Himalayas. Bheema decides to find more for Draupadi, but comes across some demons (as he often does) and also an old and very perplexing monkey. Musician, Trivia Author and Host, and Berry Farmer John McConville makes his NYMM debut. John comes in not knowing what to expect and is excited to get into heavenly flowers, talking monkeys wh...
Send us a text The four Pandavas and Draupadi are missing Arjuna, but the time has come to take the extended long route to the Himalayas where Arjuna will join them, but not before doing as Arjuna did a while ago by visiting the holy water sites. Creative and fellow storyteller Aaron Fiskradatz is back to hear of the Pandavas adventure and the stories behind each of the holy water sites. Satish is excited to introduce Aaron to Ghatotkacha, Bheem's sage-like demonic son from the Pre-Draupadi y...
Send us a text Yudhishthira is still lamenting over his gambling addiction. Luckily the visiting sage Brihadashva brings some hope to the eldest Pandava by telling him the tale of Nala And Damayanti. Our friend Andy Caranicas joins us to hear the wondrous story of Nala and Damayanti, a prince and princess who are deeply in love with each other despite having never met. To be together they will need to outmaneuver the gods, a demon, a heroic turned villain hunter, and another king. Fortunately...
Send us a text Arjuna has learnt warfare from some of the best of the best, and has been god -given some the most terrifying weapons ever to exist for the future Kurukshetra war. Time for a test run...? Lindsay Ohse joins us for this epic out of this world battle/massacre. Indra has given his son Arjuna all he has asked for and more. But before Arjuna can return to his family on earth, Indra has a small request- to massacre somewhere between three thousand to thirty thousand demon...
Send us a text The Himalayas were great, but not high enough for Arjuna. We welcome our friend Laura Tanner to tell her the continuation of Arjuna's bold adventure to another realm- some would argue the 'best' realm. Arjuna'a father Indra once again invites Arjuna to the realm of the gods and this time Arjuna says yes! Aside from magical jeweled palaces and magical flying horses of different colors, Arjuna also learns warfare from his father and other skills from the magical denizens of this ...
Send us a text We are thrilled to welcome Erika Gesme to the podcast to begin the tale of Arjuna's solo adventure. All the Pandavas and Draupadi have come to accept their exile, but they also accept that once they return from it, they will not be given everything back as was promised to them. They need to prepare for the eventual war, and for that, Arjuna needs to visit the Himalayas and speak to the god Shiva. Erika and Azure are enthralled as the mighty Arjuna can't seem to gain the upper h...
Send us a text For this very special episode of Not Your Mother's Mahabharata the tables are turned. Satish joins Azure on the listening side of the recording studio to hear from Shambhu Nath. Shambhu shares his own journey with the Mahabharata on how it led him towards healing his anxiety and other ailments. Deeply familiar with the spiritual symbolism within the Mahabharata, Shambhu answers every question that Satish and Azure can fit into the hour. It's an extraordinarily insightful episod...
Send us a text Satish tells Azure the story of how the Pandavas and Draupadi are doing as we continue seeing how they handle being exiled. The Pandavas are visited by the 16 year old Immortal Markandeya, and of course we can't go further without learning how that phenomenon happened. Markandaya comforts Yudhistira by telling him more stories from Indian mythology. But Draupadi and Bheema aren't having it. They want to understand why Yudhishthira isn't showing more pain and regret from losing ...
Send us a text Our Season 3 begins with Book 3 of the Mahabharata, Vana Parva, - AKA the Book of the Forest We welcome Ben Kopnick to tell him how the Pandavas are dealing with being exiled following Yudhishthira's failure. Spoiler- not well. Yudhishthira is most concerned about how he's going to feed the loyal brahmins who decide to join the Pandava in their exile. Duryhodhana in the mean time, swimming in insecurity, wants to deal with the weaponless Pandavas but is stopped by the all knowi...
Send us a text RE-RELEASE For this episode we welcome musician Rhiannon Fiskradatz and tell her the story of the tortured King Shantanu who only manages to catch a single break because of his devoted demigod son. Rhiannon needs moments of silence after Ganga seemingly murders her own children, and yells in defense of Bheeshma keeping his heritage. https://spjayaraj.com/nymm-02/ Rhiannon is among many things a musician who goes by MaMa Faerie. Her debut album, Anthems for the Apocalypse,...
Send us a text Re-Release For this episode we welcome writer Evan Kingston and tell him the origin of the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Satish tells the story of his favorite half-celibate, half-sex-crazy couple, Evan is not into buying Vayu's impressiveness because of his own biases against wind, and Azure is proud of Madri's divine threesome. Evan Kingston is a writer living in the Twin Cities Metro Area. If you would like a wonderful Christmas gift this year that challenges and honors the spi...

Send us a text We welcome back Rhiannon from episode 2 and MamaFaerie fame. Rhiannon wants to know if we will once again feature 'flowing tits and ass' and comes to regret that the semi answer is 'yes.' Satish recounts the game of dice for Rhiannon and Azure. Yudhishthira, the oldest of the Pandavas has just been crowned emperor of the known world. No one except perhaps Indra of the heavens owns as much as he does. He is invited by his conniving cousin Duryodhana to a game of dice, and though...
