About This Book

Paramahansa Yoganandas spiritual interpretation of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam , as translated by Edward FitzGerald, was originally published serially by Self- Realization Fellowship more than fifty years ago in its Inner Culture magazine (now known as Self Realization ). The series ran from 1937 through 1944. An expanded version, with additional material that had not been included in the earlier serialization, appeared in Self Realization magazine from 1971 through 1990 and is being made available now for the first time in book form. Self Realization Fellowship is pleased to present Paramahansa Yoganandas complete commentaries on this beloved literary classic.

We acknowledge with appreciation the work of artists Helen Marie, Kevin Miller, and Self-Realization Fellowship monastics who created the original illustrations and decorative borders for this book; and of Massoud Valipour, who did the calligraphy of the Persian text of the poem.
