This illuminating work unveils the hidden meaning of a much-admired but long-misunderstood spiritual masterpiece. Yogananda's uniquely clarifying commentaries on the Rubaiyat are complemented by 50 original works of art, the Persian text of Khayyam's quatrains beautifully rendered in calligraphy, and the English text of FitzGerald's translation, making "Wine of the Mystic" the definitive edition of this perennially best-selling classic.
