An excellent astrological remedial measure for Saturn by W. R. Kurczak (Asheville, NC)  5 Stars
November 02, 2009
The greatness of Saturn is a wonderful resource for Vedic Astrologers and those in need of guidance in working with Saturn's influence. I've read this book at least 30 times, and every time I find a deeper meaning, both spiritually, yogically, and astrologically. When I need to advise a remedial measure for my astrological client's in regards to Saturn, this is usually my first choice. It helps to clarify and really bring home why we do other remedial measures. This book also gives excellent descriptions of the other planets, and I often quote it to my astrology students during workshops. You can't go wrong with this book.
Best Wishes,
Ryan Kurczak

There for the taking by V. Hemrajani (Hong Kong) 5 Stars
May 23, 2009
Firstly, I feel it is incorrect to rate such work. This is a piece of work
which is well beyond the need to be rated in anyway, it lives in its own uniqueness and authority, therefore, creating its own standard.
It is one of those books that will take you to a different world; as you read you will be transported to the dimension of Saturn. This book is a blessing to those who hold it, for Saturn has chosen you to learn the easy way.. because his ways can be quite harsh indeed. Reading about King Vikramaditya's encounter with Saturn will enrich you with an insight to Saturn's tremendous energy and make you understand how Saturn works in order for you to play out your role in destiny without deviating from the 'One Reality'.
Robert Svoboda has also done a fantastic job in explaining the subtleties of Vedic mythology and how to approach and understand them correctly so they can create abundant blessings in your life.
This book is highly recommended for YOU...!

An enlightening book by Rahul Gupta (Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India) 5 Stars
September 13, 2003
I found this book while on a business trip to Bangalore and was inexplicably motivated to buy it, even though I had never heard of Dr Svoboda before. Perhaps I was fated to buy this book -- as one who has had a significant influence of LORD SATURN on his life.I found the book to be one that gives a lot of information on not only LORD SATURN but also the various other "grahas", their influences (beneficial and malignant), and an outline/summary of the methods of propitiating them. And, of course, it has a wealth of information on LORD SATURN. Dr Svoboda has done a lot of study to write this book and his "Bhakti Bhav" (loosely meaning "Devotional Attitude") comes through very well in the book.Thanks to Dr Svoboda for enabling me to access this ancient wisdom culled from various old, rare texts of Hinduism in various languages.And most of all, thanks to LORD SATURN for motivating me to pick up and read this book, thereby enabling even me (of admittedly insufficient knowledge)to understand His powers.

I don't get it  3 Stars
September 26, 2001
I really don't understand what this is supposed to be about. I certainly didn't get anything meaningful out of it. The points made about the various grahas are very basic themes familiar to anyone who knows something about jyotish. The Saturn story is an elaboration of the trials and tribulations of sade sati, but I didn't really get anything out of it. I would like to be able to understand this more deeply; maybe I just missed the point.
