Not Your Mother's Mahabharata

Send us a text

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.

NYMM 21: Parashuram and the otherworldly travels of young Krishna: Krishna Chronicles 5

Send us a text

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.
