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.” 0:00 — Precap 1:20 — Relevance Ka Art 6:50 — Myth का मतलब 7:57 — Mythology समझें 12:33 — Writers में Gender 14:28 — Curiosity क्यों कम? 15:55 — Bhairav Temple Facts 19:16 — Curiosity Khatam! 21:36 — Hidden Wisdom 27:45 — Celebration क्यों? 30:33 — Radha-Krishna पहलू 32:33 — Parshuram Story 35:15 — असली Apsaras 38:48 — Sita की कहानी 44:40 — Swayamvar सच/झूठ 48:01 — Business Sutra links Subscribe now for myth-busting, mind-opening discussions at the crossroads of culture, psychology, and identity!
