Author: Yogananda, Paramahansa & Kriyananda

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 as an allegory of the soul's romance with God. But even there, the deepest meaning of the quatrains has remained a mystery for eight centuries. Paramhansa Yogananda's explication of the famous poem is edited by his close disciple J. Donald Walters, who lived with the famous yogi during the composition of these pages. 350 pp. February.
