I’m the host of the Stories from India podcast. I’m Narada Muni, and I’m a mythological character myself!
I have the gift of eternal life, and knowledge of the past, the present, and the future. I’m also the son of Brahma, the creator of the Universe. By profession, I’m a traveling musician and storyteller, so the way I’m doing my job is by podcast!
In every episode, I’ll bring you Stories from India from well known Indian Mythological epics like the Ramayan and Mahabharat, to folklore including the Panchatantra, Jataka Tales, Vikram and Betaal stories, and many other regional folk tales!
