The Book
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 honors the planet Saturn, who personifies time, limitations, loss, and all forms of adversity.
​
Composed by Dr. Robert Svoboda, the first Westerner to earn status as an Ayurvedic Vaidya trained in India, this is a timeless tale tracking the rise, fall and redemption of a King. It is a story of dignity, perseverance and ultimate wisdom.
​
This is a powerful, therapeutic myth (re)told here in splendid, poetic language rich with with evocative imagery and illuminating metaphor.
​
The book is divided into three sections: an introductory chapter setting the context, giving a zoomed out view of the story, its origins and function; the central chapters consists of the story itself; and the final section offers remedies and reflections on how to integrate this wisdom into your daily life.
​
If you've ever heard about or been through the famous "Saturn return" period of your late 20's, early 30's, this book is big medicine.
