Title: Fifty Shades of the Mystic East Author: Mirabai, Confucius, Rumi Narrator: Eleanor Rushton, Ghizela Rowe, David Shaw-Parker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 46 minutes Release date: January 1, 2021 Genres: Poetry Publisher's Summary: Whilst the notion of the Mystic East and Oriental wisdom was greatly romanticised by the Victorians and others, the shadow of Colonialism has smudged the view. These great cultures are some of humanity's earliest, their works, their art some of its most daring and most accomplished. In these 50 poems across 50 poets we hope, at least in part, to rebalance our view of this subject. We begin in the 6th century BC and travel with a poet's words and eyes across India, China, Persia and many other places in between. The geography and culture may shift to different hues but the flavours, notions, musings and truths of these works bring both simplicity, majesty and beauty to these lands and peoples. Let us journey with poets such as Lao Tzu, Rumi, Mirabai, Gabirol and Guru Nanak on a journey to seek, to discover and find meaning in their verse that is so relevant to our lives today. 1 - Fifty Shades of the Mystic East - An Introduction 2 - Thiruppavi (An Extract) by Andal3 - An Ocean Without Shore by Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi4 - All Pervading Consciousness by Farid ud-Din Attar5 - Because Thou Art by Sri Aurobindo6 - Kalam - I by Sultan Bahu7 - If You Are Seeking Allah by Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai8 - Shikshashtakam by Chaitanya9 - The Value of Friendship by Confucius10 - Amrutanubhav (An Extract) by Dnyaneshwar11 - The Mockingbird by Dr Fu12 - The Song of Chess by Abraham Ibn Ezra13 - Beauty of Truth by Khwaja Ghulam Farid14 - The Prelude to Shah-Nameh (The Book of Kings) by Ferdowsi15 - A Song of Redemption by Solomon Ibn Gabirol16 - Navada Bhakti in an Untainted Heart by Gangasati17 - The Walled Garden by Sanai Ghaznavi18 - Song of the Flower by Khalil Gibran19 - The Lute Will Beg by Hafiz20 - Song of Loneliness by Jehudah Halevi21 - I Do Not Cease Swimming by Mansur Al Hallaj22 - The Power of the Pen by Samuel HaNagid23 - The Cloud on the Mountain by Alama Iqbal24 - Acceptance by Janabai25 - The Guest Is Inside You and Also Inside Me by Kabir26 - Tears Ere Thy Death by Khansa27 - All Things Pass by Lao Tzu28 - Vakh - If in the Flux of Time by Lal Ded29 - Alone Looking at the Mountain by Li Po30 - They All Err by Al-Ma'arri31 - Would a Circling Surface Vulture by Akka Mahadevi32 - Pointless It Is to Lament by Narsinh Mehta33 - Go To That Impenetrable Realm by Mirabai34 - The True Name is Like Sandalwood by Namdev35 - Tiruvasiriyam by Nammalvar36 - Dhanasri Measure by Guru Nanak37 - Dream Fable by Rabia al Basri38 - Where Shall I Go by Ramananda39 - The Name Alone Is the Truth by Ravidas40 - Only Breath by Jalaluddin Rumi41 - One Body by Saadi42 - His Ears Ringeth by Sambandar43 - Drive Me Out of My Mind by Ramprasad Sen44 - Who Attains the Secret of Unity.
