               The Devdutt Pattanaik Show

“The Devdutt Pattanaik show”, a Mirchi podcast by renowned mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik is here to blow your mind and change your perspective on Hindu mythology. I stumbled across this show and absolutely adore Pattanaik’s storytelling and presentation.  Mythology has always been a pell-mell with myriads of characters, stories and is at bay. This podcast will surely resuscitate your interest in scriptures. Devdutt Pattanaik has published more than fifty books on a plethora of topics related to Hindu mythology including Ramayana, Mahabharata and Puranas. In his debut as RJ, Devdutt never fails to regale the rapt audience. The show begins with Devdutt choosing a topic associated with mythos and narrates parables relating to the topic in a very easy and vivid way. The specialty of the show is that it brings forth the importance of mythology in everyday life and makes folklore less enigmatic and passé. Pattanaik emphasizes that mythology is timeless or ‘sanatan’ and is relevant to both the older and younger generation. The show depicts issues that revolve around our day-to-day and reinforce values, beliefs and morals. In the course of the show the podcaster interacts with the listeners, answer to their queries and sometimes clarifies controversial doubts like, does destiny actually exists? The podcast ends with a question so that the listeners could reflect on and share their experience with others. Time duration of the show is about twenty minutes and is really flexible for everyone.  Devdutt also digs on marriage, sexuality, political system, environment, traditions, diversity, superstitions, astrology and many other areas. The podcast helps us to navigate through adversaries, enrich and entertain as we gain some insights into our epics and holy texts.
