An interest in the symbolism of medieval religious art led to a curiosity about sacred art as an expression of an underlying spiritual dimension. On his return to England, John taught art history, eventually leaving teaching to complete a book exploring the spiritual aspect of religious symbolism. His experience as a freelance editor and editorial consultant for a mind, body and spirit publisher has given John the opportunity to pursue his interest in the spiritual core of mainstream religions including Judaeo-Christian-Islamic teachings. He has given talks throughout Europe and the USA on this and related subjects. He has also studied the world’s various religious traditions in some depth.

Donald Walters-Hardcover","description":"Unlock the Mystery of One of the Great Spiritual Treasures of the Ages. Omar Khayyam's famous poem, The Rubaiyat, is loved by Westerners as a hymn of praise to sensual delights. In the East, his quatrains enjoy a very different reputation: they are known as a deep allegory of the soul’s romance with God. Even there, however, the knowing is based on who and what Omar Khayyam was: a sage and mystic. As for what the quatrains actually mean, most of them have remained a mystery in the East as much as in the West. After eight centuries, Paramhansa Yogananda, one of the great mystics of our times, a master of yoga, and the author of the now-classic Autobiography of a Yogi, explained the mystery behind Omar’s famous poem. This book contains the essence of that great revelation. Unavailable in book form since its first penning more than sixty years ago, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Explained is finally available, edited by one of Yogananda’s close disciples, Swami Kriyananda.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/strong\u003eCrystal Clarity Pubs; Hardcover Edition (January 1, 1994)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/strong\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e354 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e1565896750\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e978-1565896758\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e0.035 ounces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e6.25 x 1.75 x 8.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Used-Very Good\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eReligion \u0026amp; Spirituality, Literature \u0026amp; Fiction, Poetry, Islam Spirituality, Sufism, Persian Poetry, Iranian Sufi, Love Poems,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParamhansa Yogananda (1893–1952) was an Indian yogi and spiritual master, widely hailed as the “father of Yoga in the West.” In 1920, he traveled to the United States to share the timeless teachings of yoga, meditation, and Kriya Yoga with seekers around the world.

Through these verses, he philosophizes on the human condition, urging readers to embrace the present moment while contemplating the transience of life's pleasures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKhayyam's poetry is imbued with a Sufi-like reverence for wine, not merely as a literal drink, but as a metaphor for spiritual intoxication and the liberation of the soul. His verses invite readers to ponder the mysteries of the universe and their place within it, often tinged with a melancholic acceptance of life's impermanence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite his scholarly achievements and poetic prowess, Khayyam's work was not widely recognized during his lifetime.

At one level, he provides a guided tour from bordello to Billingsgate; at another, an essay on the politics of consumption. Fish did loom large: it was the gourmet food, and therefore the social indicator. Literary critics found it extraordinary that the heroes of the Iliad lived on kebabs, though they were camped near the rich fishing grounds of the Dardanelles. This is a book of many pleasures, both in analysis and in anecdote. You can meet heroes of hedonism and martyrs of sensuality: Melanthios, who prayed for a neck like a heron's, so that he could linger long on the delicious mouthfuls; Philoxenos, who consumed a three foot octopus (except for the head), and nearly died of dyspepsia; the anonymous alcoholic immortalised by Aristotle, who put eggs under his mat and sat on them and drank continuously until they hatched. Davidson presents a superior class of hedonist ...

He was our nation's bard, simple and sincere, accompanying us on wooded roads and articulating our hopes and fears. After Frost's death, these clichés gave way to equally broad (though opposed) portraits sketched by his biographers, chief among them Lawrance Thompson. When the critic Helen Vendler reviewed Thompson's scathing biography, she asked whether anyone could avoid the conclusion that Frost was a \"monster.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLove and Need: The Life of Robert Frost's Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e, Adam Plunkett blends biography and criticism to find the truth of Frost's life--one that lies between the two poles of perception. Plunkett reveals a new Frost through a careful reading of the poems and the people Frost knew best, showing how the stories of his most significant relationships, heretofore only partly told, mirror dominant themes of Frost's enduring poetry: withholding and disclosure, privacy and intimacy. Not least of these relationships is the fraught, intense friendship between Frost and Thompson, the major biographer whose record of Frost Plunkett seeks to set straight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMoving through Frost's most important work and closest relationships with the attention to detail necessary to see familiar things anew, Plunkett offers an original interpretation of Frost's poetry, tracing Frost's distinctive achievement to an engagement with poetic tradition far deeper and more extensive than he ever let on. Frost invited his readers into a conversation like the one he sustained with his literary forebears, intimate and profound, yet he kept his private self at a remove.

H. Auden. After two years in Italy, he returned to New York in 1949 and began to publish his first poems. There he met fellow poets O'Hara, Ashbery, Guest, and Koch. For many years he lived outside the city in Southampton, Long Island, in a close relationship with the painter Fairfield Porter and his family, and spent his summers in Maine. Schuyler's subsequent years in New York City were marked by poverty and mental illness, yet it was during this time that he wrote some of his greatest poems. After his move to the Chelsea Hotel in 1979, the poet's circumstances began to turn around, and when he died, much too soon at sixty-seven, his life was stable and fulfilled. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn praise of Schuyler's poetry, John Ashbery wrote: \"To reread him is to live, as though life were an experience one had just forgotten and been newly awakened to.\" Schuyler's work embodies the quiet beauties of the natural world and the mundane stuff of everyday existence, even as his own life was often messy and troubled. \u003ci\u003eA Day Like Any Other\u003c\/i\u003e, Kernan's absorbing biographical study, explores this and other paradoxes of Schuyler's singular life within the vibrant milieu of mid-century New York's poets and painters.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNathan Kernan\u003c\/b\u003e is the editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Diary of James Schuyler\u003c\/i\u003e.
