Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Explained - Hardcover
Unlock the mystery of one of the great spiritual treasures of the ages. Omar Khayyam's famous poem, The Rubaiyat, is loved by Westerners as a hymn of praise to sensual delights. In the East, his quatrains enjoy a very different reputation: they are known as a deep allegory of the soul's romance with God. Even there, however, the knowing is based on who and what Omar Khayyam was: a sage and mystic. As for what the quatrains actually mean, most of them have remained a mystery in the East as much as in the West. Now after eight centuries, Paramhansa Yogananda, one of the great mystics of our times, a master of yoga and the author of the now-classic Autobiography of a Yogi, explains the mystery behind Omar's famous poem. This book contains the essence of that great revelation. Unavailable in book form since its first penning more than sixty years ago, THE RUBAIYAT OF OMAR KHAYYAM EXPLAINED is available at last, edited by one of Yogananda's close disciples, Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters.)
