Welcome to Episode 1 of the official deep dive audio podcast for The Unseen Path, the incredible true story of Nagababu Jannu. This premiere episode covers the Prologue and Chapter 1, taking you back to June 1986 in the small town of Vuyyuru, Andhra Pradesh. When the doctor declared that Nagababu was born 100% blind, relatives whispered that the child would end up begging.

Discover the stark sensory contrasts of his beginnings: the comforting, rhythmic clicking of his mother's sewing machine that became the sound of her resilience, the terrifying clatter of a cycle tire, and the steadying warmth of his grandmother’s prayer, "Swamy Rakshinchandi."
