‘Dr. Svoboda has captured the essence-an easily readable narrative of India’s best-known Saturn tale...and a discussion of age-old strategies for modifying Saturn’s influence’—Frederick M. Smith, Ph.D., University of Iowa

In The Greatness of Saturn, one directly experiences the healing power of the world’s great myths. The telling of mythic stories has always been a powerful form  of therapy, bringing healing to people facing adversity. The Greatness of Saturn is such a therapeutic myth, told and retold through many centuries. Taken from the East Indian Vedic tradition, it honours the planet Saturn, who personifies time, limitation, loss, and all forms of adversity.

No person goes through life without sometimes being touched by Saturn. This book presents a classic Saturn story and a clear view of the cosmology from which the story and came. As we hear the story come to understand its context, we experience a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.
