POPULARITY
One of the many objects that went down with the ship during the sinking of the Titanic was a beautiful, jewel-encrusted edition of a poetry book called the “Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.” The Rubaiyat was probably the most famous work of poetry in the English-speaking world at that time…which was somewhat unusual, as the book was written by a Persian mathematician 800 years before.For more information about Omar Khayyam and the Rubaiyat, check out the books “Persian Presence in Victorian Poetry” by Taher-Kermani Reza, “The Wine of Wisdom: The Life, Poetry and Philosophy of Omar Khayyam” by Mehdi Aminrazavi, and the BBC documentary “The Genius of Omar Khayyam.”

Tonight, for our Snoozecast+ Deluxe bonus episode, we'll read from "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" translated poetically into English by Edward Fitzgerald. This first edition, inspired by Persian rhymed quatrains, together known as a “rubaiyat”, were rooted in the 11th to 12th century. They reflect the philosophical musings of the original author Khayyam who was not only a poet, but an accomplished mathematician and astronomer. As a seminal piece of Persian literature, the collection delves into themes related to the transience of life, love, and the pursuit of happiness amidst the inevitability of death. The content of the "Rubaiyat" encapsulates a dialogue between the speaker and the cosmos, often expressed through the metaphor of wine and revelry. The Rubáiyát also made its way into American pop culture, perhaps most charmingly in the classic 1957 musical The Music Man. In one scene, it's cited as one of the books the mayor's wife wants banned from the town library. The book's verses are condemned for their supposed licentiousness—proof, perhaps, of just how intoxicating these quatrains have always been. Though in truth, the work is more meditative than scandalous, filled with musings on time, nature, and the fleeting sweetness of life. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ Deluxe to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

I. Breathing Steps II. Lightwell III. To fight? No, to sing! "In the field recording I chose, a street musician plays and hums the tune of the Kozachok on the accordion, while people are heard passing by in Jerusalem's Armenian Quarter. I was immediately captivated by the sound of the accordion, but also by the unforced openness with which the musician hummed the tune. Reading about the recording, I learnt about the history of the Quarter, its antiquity and the monks who first migrated there. This brought me back to a theme that has been a constant in my life and artistic practice: travel and migration as an act of faith. "Leaving one's country is an enormous leap of faith; it is both proof and a test of the strength of that faith, its trust in a kind of Divine Grace. You must believe that you will be looked after both along the way and when you arrive at your destination; you must believe that the residents of other lands, the ones you pass through and the one in which you might settle will be friendly and welcoming, and not hostile, distant or indifferent. You travel and migrate trusting that in Others, you will meet the face of what in Sufism is called the Beloved; and, approaching travel in this way, you are the vulnerable Foreigner, the Stranger, the Wanderer. "This is true if you are a merchant, a monk or ‘holy person', a family or a roving musician; but it is especially true if you are a woman. In researching for the piece, I stumbled across a poem by contemporary Armenian poet Hasnik Simonian, who speaks of an autumn ‘stretched and squeezed like an accordion' while she wanders, ‘praying with my hands in my pockets', as ‘poet-girls' do, ‘step by step'. I thought about the privilege of walking and travelling alone, and just how much of an act of faithful defiance to restrictive social norms it can be for some of us. A part of the poem is included in the piece, read by Eleni Sisti. "For years, I have returned again and again to the figure of a Persian-speaking Armenian-Jewish merchant, poet and mystic called Sarmad Kashani, who travelled to Mughal India in the 17th century. In his Rubaiyat (parts of which are heard read by Navid Fayaz) he expresses with undaunted sincerity the nature and struggle of a form of faith that wishes to remain open, trusting, non-sectarian, undogmatic, and accepting of its own uncertainty and fallibility. In the poem which gives the title to this piece [here in English translation by Syeda Saiyidain Hameed], he writes: If the heart has Wisdom, its embrace will hold the Friend If the eye can see, the Radiance is Everywhere If the ear can listen, what else but praise of God? If the tongue can speak, every word reveals the Mystery "Despite the evident depth of his faith, Sarmad was executed by Emperor Aurangzeb, allegedly for atheism and unorthodox religious practices. One of the reasons why he has captured my imagination for years is exactly his fate as an apostate, a daring objector to the dogma of power and religious hypocrisy. In choosing a recording of the Kozachok from Jerusalem at this time of senseless bloodshed in Israel and Palestine, Ukraine, Sudan and other parts of the world, I felt that both Sarmad's objection to tribalism and his understanding of the Other as the face of God are a fitting counterpoint to the kind of religious and ethnic hatred that pits people against each other and which is used by ruthless, cynical leaders to kill, control and indoctrinate. "Travel and migration, at their core, hold the belief that the earth is to be shared and experienced by all of us – and not just all of us humans but also other forms of life. The Armenian folk song ‘Mer tan itev', from the historically Armenian region of Shadakh in modern day Turkey, is a hymn to the sharing of the fruits of the land and to marriage. It is heard here sung by the acapella quartet Asma Cordis. In another Armenian folk poem, read by me, the speaker mourns the loss of their beloved, who has left to join a war. Perhaps it was a war that was seen as justified, against a neighbour turned enemy, against a heathen, an infidel, an adversary; but if we are all each other's Strangers, why must we continue to fight, when we can sing in praise instead? "The composition is structured around fleeting field recordings (sometimes manipulated) from my own walking travels, mostly of street musicians, or musicians practicing and heard from the street, but also of various ambient sounds, including recordings from London, Athens, Cagliari and Reykjavik. Poets, musicians and birds migrate from far and distant places; they too wander and bring the sounds of other lands and languages with them, mixing and blending along the way. Overall, my aim has been to pay homage to this: the travelling Radiance everywhere; the road that welcomes everyone and everything unconditionally."

Episode 309: In Mike's first book, Murder, Madness and Mayhem, he wrote about an unknown man whose body was found on Somerton Park beach near Adelaide, Australia, by two trainee jockeys who'd been out with their horses on the morning of December 1, 1948. Lying in peaceful repose, the man wore a suit, overdressed for the warm Australian summer, and had no wallet or identification. He was unknown to anyone locally. The labels of his clothing had been ripped out. Some enigmatic leads proved fruitless, including the discovery of a book, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, believed to have belonged to the stranger. In that book, what appeared to be coded writing was found. Experts have yet to decrypt the supposed message. Some believe the man was a spy, possibly murdered for what he knew. Called by many Somerton Man, the stranger's identity has remained unknown for decades until recently, when two separate groups came forward claiming they had information about who he was, leading to further speculation and even more questions.

Guest: Juan Cole is a public intellectual, prominent blogger and essayist, and the Richard P. Mitchell Collegiate Professor of History at the University of Michigan. He is the translator of The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam: A New Translation from the Persian. Omar Khayyam (1048 – 1131) was a Persian astronomer and mathematician born in Nishapur in northeastern Iran who lived and worked at the courts of the Seljuk dynasty. Modern scholars agree that there is very little (if any) of the collected work of poetry know as the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam that can be certainly attributed to the historical figure. A tradition of attribution grew up in the centuries after Khayyam's death which culminated in Edward Fitzgerald's translation in the 19th Century.

On December 1, 1948, an unknown man was found lying dead on the sand on Somerton Beach next to the neighborhood of Glenelg, about 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Adelaide, South Australia. He had no money or identification on him, the labels in his clothing were cut off, and his minimal possessions yielded no clues. Further adding to the mystery, a rolled-up scrap of paper with the Persian phrase "tamám shud," translating to "is over" or "is finished," was found in the man's watch pocket around the time of his autopsy. The scrap was later discovered torn from a copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, a circa 11th-century collection of poems by Khayyam, known as "the Astronomer-Poet of Persia." The book found tossed into a car after a public appeal by the police appeared to have previous writing indentations on a page adjacent to the torn-out one, revealing a local phone number and text speculated to be a coded message. With no further clues as to the Somerton Man's identity other than an abandoned suitcase left at the Adelaide railway station, a plaster cast was made of the man's bust following the coroner's inquest, and the body was embalmed nine days after its discovery and buried. For almost 74 years, the mystery of the Somerton has intrigued authorities, amateur sleuths, and the general public, including physicist, Electrical and Electronic Engineering professor Dr. Derek Abbott. For over a decade, Dr. Abbott and his team of grad students at the University of Adelaide worked on cracking the code found in the Rubaiyat and attempting to arrange a genetic DNA analysis. In partnership with internationally recognized forensic genealogist Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick, Abbott and Fitzpatrick announced on July 26, 2022, that they have finally uncovered the identity of Australia's most famous "John Doe." Extracting DNA from chest hairs found in the Somerton Man's plaster cast has led them to a name and an occupation. But will this name lead to solving the remaining puzzle pieces? Pathologists at the time believed he was likely poisoned, but why, and by whom? Was there a Cold War connection, and why did he spend his last day in Adelaide? Circling back to the alternate name for this case, tamám shud, is this mystery really over, is it finished? Visit our webpage on this episode for a lot more information.
DECADES-OLD MYSTERY OF SOMERTON MAN SOLVED - A TRUE CRIME AND COKE QUICKIE The Tamám Shud case, also known as the Mystery of the Somerton Man, is a partially solved case of an unidentified man found dead on 1 December 1948 on The Somerton Park beach, just south of Adelaide South Australia. The case is named after the Persian phrase tamám shud, meaning "is over" or "is finished", which was printed on a scrap of paper found months later in the fob pocket of the man's trousers. The scrap had been torn from the final page of a copy of Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, authored by 12th century poet Omar Khayyam Tamám was misspelt as Tamán in many early reports, and this error has often been repeated, leading to confusion about the name in the media. Following a public appeal by police, the book from which the page had been torn was located. On the inside back cover, detectives read through indentations left from previous handwriting – a local telephone number, another unidentified number, and text that resembled a coded message. The text has not been deciphered or interpreted in a way that satisfies authorities on the case. The case has been considered, since the early stages of the police investigation, "one of Australia's most profound mysteries". There has been intense speculation ever since regarding the identity of the victim, the cause of his death, and the events leading up to it. Public interest in the case remains significant for several reasons: the death occurred at a time of heightened international tensions following the beginning of the Cold War; the apparent involvement of a secret code; the possible use of an undetectable poison; and the inability of authorities to identify the dead man. In addition to intense public interest in Australia during the late 1940s and early 1950s, the case also attracted international attention. South Australia Police consulted their counterparts overseas and distributed information about the dead man internationally, in an effort to identify him. International circulation of a photograph of the man and details of his fingerprints yielded no positive identification. For example, in the United States, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was unable to match the dead man's fingerprint with prints taken from files of domestic criminals. Scotland Yard was also asked to assist with the case, but could not offer any insights. In recent years, additional evidence has emerged, including an old identification card possibly identifying the Somerton Man as one H. C. Reynolds and an ongoing DNA analysis of hair roots found on the plaster bust. On 19 May 2021, after a series of requests, the body was exhumed for analysis. Police stated that the remains were in "reasonable" condition and were optimistic about the prospect of DNA recovery. On 26 July 2022, Adelaide University professor Derek Abbott claimed that DNA evidence from hair samples removed from his death mask had proven the man to be Carl "Charles" Webb, born on November 16, 1905, in Footscray, in Melbourne, to Richard August Webb and Eliza Amelia Morris Grace; however, SA Police have not yet verified this claim.

El último peldaño (08/07/2022) LOS OVNIS DE LOS PANTANOS El fenómeno de los objetos voladores no identificados presenta diversas caras y facetas. Una de las mas interesantes son los denominados “OSNIs” (Objetos Submarinos No Identificados), luces y extraños artefactos que entran y salen de mar, y que han sido detectados por navegantes de todo el mundo. Sin embargo no solo en los mares se ven estos objetos, también en lagos, e incluso en embalses. El periodista, director adjunto de la revista AÑO/CERO, escritor, investigador y miembro de los equipos de programas de radio míticos (La Rosa de los Vientos y El Colegio Invisible), Miguel Pedrero, nos habló de los casos de “OVNIs en los pantanos” y muy especialmente de los sucesos ocurridos en el embalse de “El Atazar” en Madrid. EL CÓDIGO DEL HOMBRE DE SOMERTON El 1 de diciembre de 1948, apreció en una playa de la ciudad de Adelaida, en Australia, el cuerpo sin vida de un hombre correctamente vestido. Casi 74 años después, la identidad de aquel hombre sigue siendo un misterio, como el hecho de que en su ropa no había ninguna etiqueta, ni tampoco portaba identificación alguna. Lo que si llevaba era algo enigmático, un pedazo de papel oculto en uno de los bolsillos del pantalón, arrancado de la última página de una rara edición neozelandesa del libro “The Rubaiyat” de Omar Khayyam, con las palabras Taman Shud. Hace unos meses hablamos de este caso con Enrique Lucas, que desde entonces inició una investigación sobre el misterio del hombre de Somerton, hoy nos visita para contarnos sus avances.

The Somerton Man case is one that has confounded Australia for almost 75 years now. It all started when an unidentifiable man was found dead on Somerton Beach. The man had no wallet, no form of ID, there was no name written inside of his clothing as would have been typical for the time. And it seemed like all of this was on purpose. Things in the case only got stranger when a tiny rolled up piece of paper was found in a hidden fob pocket in the man's jacket. The words on the paper read “Tamam Shud” and were later determined to have been ripped out of a book of poetry written in the 11th century: The Rubaiyat. In part one we'll dip our toes into the mystery and in part two Ash will be taking everyone to the deep end of the pool for a serious dive into who the heck this man could possibly be and what the heck happened to him.

Referred to as Australia's greatest mystery, the unknown, nameless Somerton man washed up on the shore of Adelaide in December of 1948, and has to this day never been identified. This death baffles law enforcement to this day, and the case is so opaque that not only do we not know the identity of the Somerton man, we don't know what killed him, and it can't even be said for sure if foul play was involved. The only real clue is a small slip of paper that was found in a secret pocket in the man's clothing, a piece of an ancient Persian poetry book called the Rubaiyat, printed with the words that roughly translate to "The End." Over the years, many theories have arisen about this bizarre death, including spy activity, a loving relationship gone wrong, or suidcide, but no one assumption answers every question. All that can be said for this case, even after so many decades, is that it is one of the world's most perplexing cold cases to date, and one of the most mysterious in history. If you are interested in learning more about this case, all of the sources are listed at crimebistro.com. If you have an opinion or a theory of your own to share, feel free to visit the podcast on YouTube or on Instagram @crimebistropodcast, to leave a comment and see some behind the scenes looks at the exciting cases to come!

Bangladeshi filmmaker Rubaiyat Hossain joins us for episode 12. In this conversation, among many topics, we discuss the roles occupied by, and often imposed upon, Bangladeshi women across lines of social class—and the constraints and freedoms found therein. Farah and Rubaiyat also get a bit nostalgic about life in the ever-evolving metropolis of Dhaka and their shared histories at Smith College. This is our first full-length episode without Justin Karas behind the interviewer's mic, but huge thanks to him for continuing the amazing behind-the-scenes post-production work! La cinéaste bangladaise Rubaiyat Hossain se joint à nous pour l'épisode 12. Dans cette conversation, parmi de nombreux sujets, nous discutons des rôles occupés par (et souvent imposés sur) les femmes bangladaises à travers divers classes sociales, ainsi que des contraintes et des libertés qui s'y trouvent. Farah et Rubaiyat deviennent un peu nostalgiques de la vie dans la métropole en constante évolution de Dhaka et de leurs histoires communes au Smith College. Ceci est notre premier épisode complet sans Justin Karas derrière le micro de l'intervieweur, mais un grand merci à lui pour son travail de post-production en coulisses!

So you've listened to part 1.......you listened to part 1 right?.....RIGHT?!? Ok cool, just checking. But last week we left you on a cliffhanger. We ended the episode by talking about a book , the "Rubaiyat", that matched the missing scroll removed from it's back page but also had a mysterious phone number written down as well. The number belonged to a nurse named Jessica Thomson. Who, coincidently enough, lived only 1,3000 feet away from where the Somerton Man's dead body was found. This week we get into who this nurse was, what role she may have played in the Somerton Man's life/death, and some theories floating around the internet that may have both her and the Somerton Man pegged as spies. We also take a look at the work of Derek Abbot who has advanced the investigation of this cold case in recent years. He's also championed the movement to have the Somerton Man's remains exhumed for DNA analysis for potential identification. As well as his strong commitment to this case ....so strong that he ended up marrying the Somerton Man's (potential) granddaughter.

"Go quietly amid the noise and the haste..." The Desiderata is one of the smallest and most potent verses of western mysticism. Osho places it on a par with Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat and Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, and sees it a significant companion for those on the path.

PODCAST #13: SUFI LYRICS IN THE EGYPTIAN DESERT by Martin Bidney My month-long spiritual pilgrimage at the Sekem desert farming settlement in 2011 was guided by Sufi mentors in the Religion of Love. I Poet Omar as my Sufi mentor. Medieval Sufi Omar's most famous quatrain, from his Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam as translated by Victorian interpreter Edward FitzGerald, begins, “A book of Verses underneath the Bough.” This world-famed four-line love song introduced me to the SUFI RELIGION OF LOVE. I emulate the “Book of Verses” love song in these poems, where I shorten the Omar lines by one beat to sweeten the harmonies: 82. So went the caravan away 77. The courtyard – filled with leaves and blooms, 73. Our worldly life was at an end [a woman's love for God] 63. The eyes that light the sky of her [a man loves a woman and God] 90. A vast and mighty [love of the Unnamable, my epigraph and epitaph] I also love Omar's lines beginning Myself when young did eagerly frequent and ending with the words I came like water, and like wind I go. This I emulate here: 69. Like water come, like wind I go [love every moment] 29. Now labor carefully to pay [theme of carpe diem, seize/love the day] II My Medieval Mentors in Sufi Religion of Love IBN ARABI 21. The curlew painted RUMI 22. The theme of union 34. Of poet Attar, Rumi said RABI'A 31. Just pure surrender – that's enough 46. O Lord, I hope each worldly thing III Shahid Alam as My Neighbor-mentor in Sufi Religion of Love 83-85 It is the month of Ramadan [legend of lifegiving love] 86 The coachman told: the glowing rose [miracle parable of love] 71 My friend, called Witness of the World [allusion to the Eastern Romeo & Juliet]

Yukteswar's training: deep scriptural study • Yoga...
In a major series for Radio 3, we rediscover some of the key thinkers and achievements from the Islamic Golden Age. The period ranges from 750 to 1258 CE and in these twenty essays, we'll hear about architecture, invention, medicine, mathematics, innovation and philosophy. In today's essay, Narguess Farzad, senior fellow in Persian at SOAS (School of African and Oriental Studies), recounts the tale of two remarkable and influential women poets, Rabia Balkhi and Mahsati Ganjavi.Rabia Balkhi was said to be a great beauty of royal birth who died a tragic death. She lived in the southern part of Afghanistan and from a young age, she loved to write poems on love and beauty. She fell in love with her brother's Turkish slave, Baktash. They began to meet in secret and write poetry to each other. When her brother, Hares, found out, he ordered her jugular vein be cut and that she be left to die a slow and painful death imprisoned and alone in her bathroom. As she was dying, Rabia found the strength to write her final poems with her blood on the walls of the bathroom. Her poems were not recited in public during her life time but won hearts and minds throughout the ages.Mahsati Ganjavi was an eminent Iranian poetess and composer of quatrains. She grew up in Ganjeh, now the second largest city of Azerbaijan. Mahsati was contemporary to Seljukid Dynasty who ruled most parts of Iran from 1037 to 1194 AD. She was a poetess laureate to the courts of Sultan Mahmud II (1118-1131) and his uncle Sultan Sanjar (1131-1157). Her quatrains (Rubaiyat), were full of joy and optimism - on the joy of living and the fullness of love.Producer: Mohini Patel.
On Thursday April 4th, 2013 the Hermetic Hour, with host Poke Runyon, will present a discussion on the Sufis and Islamic mysticism. This is a subject that is impossible to fathom and difficult to summarize. The reason it is so difficult to understand lies in Sufism's passion for non-literal, allegorical and paradoxical teaching deriving in part from its fear of being persecuted by orthodox Islam for heresy; a very real fear which endangers Sufi circles all over the world at the present time. We will briefly outline the history of Sufism and highlight the work some of its legendary teachers with their profound, and sometimes humorous parables. We will recall the famous Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, comparing the Western version to what Khayyam actually wrote. Gurdjieff's debt to Sufism will be noted. We will outline the so-called "Arabic Kabbalah" sometimes called "Abjad", and discuss the controversial book "The Other Islam" on present day Sufism by Stephen Schwartz. So, if you want to find out what you don't know about the Sufis tune in and be mystified.
