El Vino del Mistico: El Rubaiya de Omar Khayyam: Una Interpretacion Espiritual

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.
