A Beautiful and Inspiring Gift
I've enjoyed reading these excerpts again and again. This book makes a great gift for anyone who is a fan of Khayyam's Rubaiyat. Yogananda's interpretations and paraphrases add new meaning and life to an old classic.

I quote one here, from Stanza 6:

"God is Eternal Silence. To those who love Him purely He speaks through the voice of silent intuition."

Ten Stars- A Great Book!
I've read some of Yogananda's original Rubaiyat commentaries in a long out of print magazine. Contrary to reader by the sea's 'opinion', this is definitely not a watered down version. Both the spirit and intent of Yogananda's efforts are well represented here.

This is an inspired and profound work. Poetic, deep, mystical, and beautiful. I can't recommend it highly enough. The other version that he refers to is very definitely not a word for word reproduction of Yogananda's original.

Khayyam was an absolute genius!!
It's just amazing how someone could write something so deep
