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 episode of Not Your Mother's Mahabharata.
