We meet Aaron King, RPG Game designer and Co host of the Podcast RTFM (Read The F****** Manual), and tell him some of the origin stories that the immortal sixteen year old sage Markandaya tells the Pandavas.

We revisit the origin of Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva, and go down the bloodline of Brahma's child Daksha who has grown to despise Shiva and is against his daughter marrying Shiva- even though she is his cosmic other. Things go from bad to worse in this godly soap opera that spans a goddess's 2 lifetimes, that also leads to the birth of of Kartikeyya the warrior god destined to vanquish a tryranical demon while still a child

We also introduce the Hindu God of Love Kashyapa- and we all have opinions on his superiority to Cupid.

S.P. Jayaraj is a mythology and mahabharata fanatic and the creator of the mythic world of Adijari that is the setting of his two novels, The Secret of the Zipacna Dragons and Legacy of the Crow. He is also a Creative Life Coach through his business Imagination Life Coaching.

He draws inspiration from global mythology.
