The Great Year explores the Yuga theory as described by Swami Sri Yukteswar in The Holy Science. It is a compelling documentary that investigates the possibility that the historic rise and fall of cultures around the globe might be related to our sun's motion around an unseen binary companion. The film examines evidence that many ancient civilizations were aware of this celestial cycle. It suggests that the precession of the equinox, the slow progression of the stars across the sky over thousands of years, may drive the flow of the ages known as the Great Year. Produced by Walter Cruttenden, an SRF devotee, featuring footage of SRF vice-president Swami Achalananda speaking from the Lake Shrine. Narration by James Earl Jones.
