It took a millennium for the Rubaiyat to be unveiled "Here with a Loaf of Bread beneath the Bough / A Flask ofWine, a Book of Verse---and Thou / Beside me singing in the Wilderness ---/ And Wilderness is Paradise enow."/ Whose imagination can fail tobe stirred? But most people see this as a glorification of wine, women andsong -- a handbook of hedonism. Could such an earthy and earthly book be inkeeping with Khayyam's reputation as a Sufi mystic and a saint? Now towardsthe end of the millennium, the Indian saint, mystic and spiritual leaderParamahansa Yogananda has commented on the Rubaiyat in his book "Wineof the Mystic."Omar was indeed a mystic. The divine intoxication ofthe love and joy of God could only be conveyed to the people of his agethrough metaphors and allegory that described the pleasures they couldunderstand. One must read the Rubaiyat in conjunction with "Wine ofthe Mystic" to really get to the heart and soul of one of the world'sclassic books.

Editorial Review Product Description This beautifully illustrated edition of Wine of the Mystic introduces for the first time in book form Paramahansa Yogananda's complete commentaries on an enduring treasure of world literature. Yogananda said: "One day as I was deeply concentrated on the pages of Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat, I suddenly beheld the walls of its outer meanings crumble away, and the vast inner fortress of golden spiritual treasures stood open to my gaze. Ever since, I have admired the beauty of the previously invisible castle of inner wisdom in the Rubaiyat. I have felt that this dream-castle of truth, which can be seen by any penetrating eye, would be a haven for many shelter-seeking souls invaded by enemy armies of ignorance. Profound spiritual treatises by some mysterious divine law do not disappear from the earth even after centuries of misunderstanding, as in the case of the Rubaiyat. Not even in Persia is all of Omar Khayyam's deep philosophy understood in its entirety, as I have tried to present it." Winner of the 1995 Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Book in the Field of Religion, this edition features 50 beautiful original color illustrations and includes Persian text and spiritual commentary to each quatrain.

Visually stunning and an esoteric piece of work!
MISTRANSLATIONS COMMENTED BY MANY STOCK PHRASES Yogananda dispensed with real translations to base his commentary on. That was unwise, for translators of the poem see how great the differences are between Fitzgerald's work and a translation of Omar's poem. With such an infirm basis to work on top of, the "interpretations of Omar" by Yogananda become formidable hocus-pocus - they are, rather, what he reads into Fitzgerald's book - which differs from the work of Khayyam considerably. (1) In this process Yogananda uses mistranslations as deep symbols to interpret; hence ERRONEUS guru dealings. (2) He repeats himself up to gruesomely by STOCK PHRASES - very boring to some. (3) MESS: To complicate things further, there are today TWO VERSIONS that lay claims on bringing Yogananda's (non-savoury) interpretations. These independent versions often differ. It means you may not be sure you get the true wordings of Yogananda - after the essentials of Khayyam have been done away with by Fitzgerald. CONCLUSION SO FAR: In this work there is too much inept or senile-looking handling to deal with.
Eternal spiritual truths resurface after a millenium The publisher of Wine of the Mystic has included an eye-opening foreword to this volume that puts these complexities into perspective, including 1) the fact that Edward FitzGerald (translator for the most famous English-language editions) only grudging acknowledged the mystical significance of the work, 2) FitzGerald's poetic techniques that faithfully capture the *spirit* of stanzas even when they are not linear translations, 3) the tradition among Sufi mystical poets of using wine as a symbol for Divine Intoxication. Why should a poem that is merely (on the surface) a hymn to the joys of drunkenness survive for a millenium and continue to fascinate cultures around the world in languages so unlike its author's?In his introductory words, Yogananda summarizes the miracle of FitzGerald's (apparently materialist) translation by called him "divinely inspired to catch exactly in gloriously musical English words the soul of Omar's writings."To those who have received a hint of the Divine Intoxication, a deep intuitive chord may be struck by Yogananda's explanation: "Profound spiritual treatises by some mysterious divine law do not disappear from the earth even after centuries of misunderstanding, as in the case of the Rubaiyat." As to the book itself (Wine of the Mystic)? The awards it has won, the beauty of its color illustrations, tastefully selected type faces, and rich reproduction make this volume irresistable immediately upon opening its pages.Readers are then embraced by Yogananda's sensitive and unprecedented bouquet of insights as they are welcomed to a never before dreamed of wine-tasting. There is *no* edition to compare. This volume will reward your reading and re-reading for years. A gorgeous gift item. CONTENTS:
