Synopsis

En una nueva y esclarecedora interpretación del Rubaiyat, Paramahansa Yogananda revela que tras el enigmático velo de la metáfora se halla la esencia mística de esta obra clásica de la literatura, que en Persia siempre fue venerada como una inspirada escritura sufí. Estas líricas cuartetas persas, consideradas comúnmente como una celebración del vino y de otros placeres terrenales, proclaman su verdadero significado al leerse como un canto a los gozos trascendentales del Espíritu.

Paramahansa Yogananda's spiritual interpretation of a Sufi literary classic, The Rubiayat of Omar Khayyam. In these beautifully illustrated pages, Yogananda reveals the spiritual insight behind one of the greatest and most misunderstood poets of the Islamic world, Omar Khayyam.

Edward FitzGerald, world-renowned scholar and the 19th Century English translator of Khayyam's writings, considered the Sufi's epic to be an anti-religious ode to wine, women, and song. It is not until we read Yogananda s enlightening interpretation that we understand the true spiritual depth of this literary master-poem. In addition to revealing the Rubiayat's spiritual nature, Yogananda informs us how we can apply Khayyam's age-old wisdom to our daily lives in a section called Practical Application, which follows the spiritual interpretation of each verse or quatrain.

About this title

About the Author

Born in India on January 5, 1893, Paramahansa Yogananda devoted his life to helping people of all races and creeds to realize and express more fully in their lives the beauty, nobility, and true divinity of the human spirit.

After graduating from Calcutta University in 1915, Sri Yogananda took formal vows as a monk of India's venerable monastic Swami Order. Two years later, he began his life's work with the founding of a how-to-live school since grown to seventeen educational institutions throughout India where traditional academic subjects were offered together with yoga training and instruction in spiritual ideals. In 1920, he was invited to serve as India's delegate to an International Congress of Religious Liberals in Boston. His address to the Congress and subsequent lectures on the East Coast were enthusiastically received, and in 1924 he embarked on a cross-continental speaking tour.

Over the next three decades, Paramahansa Yogananda contributed in far-reaching ways to a greater awareness and appreciation in the West of the spiritual wisdom of the East. In Los Angeles, he established an international headquarters for Self-Realization Fellowship the nonsectarian religious society he had founded in 1920. Through his writings, extensive lecture tours, and the creation of numerous Self-Realization Fellowship temples and meditation centers, he introduced thousands of truth-seekers to the ancient science and philosophy of yoga and its universally applicable methods of meditation.

Today, the spiritual and humanitarian work begun by Paramahansa Yogananda continues under the direction of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India. In addition to publishing his writings, lectures, and informal talks (including a comprehensive series of lessons for home study), the society also oversees its temples, retreats, and centers around the world; the monastic communities of the Self-Realization Order; and a Worldwide Prayer Circle.
