Summary: An enlightening book
Review: 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.

Summary: I don't get it
Review: 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.

Summary: THANKS TO THIS BOOK, I FEAR SATURN NO LONGER..
Review: I've studied Western astrology for over 30 years. I would always have a feeling of fear around the planet Saturn, whether in a natal chart or transit. I learned about this book in the Book Reviews of The Mountain Astrologer magazine, a publication I find a necessity of life! When I bought the book, I was going through some major life challenges. This book taught me that I needed an attitude adjustment when it came to Saturn. Due to this book, I did not give up on myself during those challenges. Two years later, I find that things I used to dread I now welcome into my life because they've helped me grow spiritually. Saturn has taught me, through the mythology in this book, how to RESPECT boundaries and limits. More importantly, it has helped ME set boundaries (around myself) for others to respect. This is a book you must read if you are an astrologist. This is about great wisdom of the ages which we can apply in our lives today! Blessings...

Summary: I don't get it
Review: Om Amrtesvaryai Namah! A masterful retelling of the "Sani Mahatmyam" with a wonderful personal touch as in all his writings.This book very expertly shows the effects of the planets on one's everyday life, and offers an object lesson in why we must pursue spirituality as if our lives depended on it. (Cause they do!!!!)A wonderful way of showing that Saturn's job is not so much just to give us all a hard time, but rather to help us turn inward to the real help we might find from the Divine within.i loved every page, and many of them were wet with tears. All i can say is Thankyou Robert Svoboda, and when may we expect the next delicious morsel from you? Om Namah Sivaya! visvanathan
