Fall asleep to the complete story of Shishupala — the king who insulted Krishna 100 times, and what happened when he reached the limit.

Shishupala was born with three eyes and an extra arm. The prophecy came immediately: the man who would one day kill him was already in the room. Krishna was present. His mother begged Krishna to forgive her son's wrongs — up to 100 times. Shishupala spent his entire life counting down from that number, and never seemed to think about what came after.

Fall asleep to the calm, in-depth story of the Seven Immortals from the Mahabharata and Hindu sacred texts.

In Hindu mythology, some warriors don't die when the war ends. Hanuman still wanders the forests, listening for Rama's name. Ashwatthama still carries the wound of a single night's choice. Seven immortal beings remain — blessed, cursed, or simply unfinished — long after the age they belonged to has turned to dust.

Fall asleep to the calm, in-depth story of Takshaka, the serpent king of the Mahabharata.

Most people know the Mahabharata war. Almost nobody asks what came after — or what had been building long before. When Arjuna and Krishna stood at the edge of Khandava forest and sealed it with arrows while Agni consumed it from within, they didn't just win a battle. They made an enemy. And that enemy would outlast every hero of the great war.

📖 IN THIS EPISODE

In this documentary-style exploration, we cover:

• The burning of Khandava forest and how it created Takshaka's undying grudge

• The birth of Parikshit — the last heir of the Pandavas, saved by Krishna in the womb

• Takshaka's hidden kingdom below the roots of the world

• The curse Parikshit earned in one moment of careless pride

• The seven-day countdown — and the fruit basket nobody thought to fear

When a king grows careless and a serpent remembers everything, the karma of Kurukshetra finds one last address to deliver itself.
