What’s inside:
This article talks about a unique book called ‘Main’, which is displayed at the Patna Book Fair and is considered the most expensive book in the world. It includes details about the author and the book’s significance.
In Patna, the 41st Book Fair is buzzing with excitement over a special book called ‘Main’. This book is being called the most expensive in the world, priced at a whopping Rs 15 crore. There is only one copy available, and it is under strict security at the fair. The author, Ratneshwar, shared that this book comes from his deep spiritual experiences.
Ratneshwar spent one and a half years in solitude in the forest, where he says he felt the presence of his spiritual guide, Shri Krishna. He describes a journey of understanding his faith and moving towards unity with his own inner self. In his own words, he talks about a long journey from darkness to light and back again, reflecting on his experiences over many lifetimes.
This book is unique as it presents a story where death does not exist, focusing instead on the concept of yoga—Karmayoga, Gyanyoga, Dhyanayoga, and Bhaktiyoga. The author wrote the entire book in just over three hours during a special auspicious time in 2006. He believes it captures the ultimate joy of realizing the divine.
Born in 1966 in Lakhisarai, Ratneshwar faced many hardships growing up, including the loss of his father at a young age. Despite these challenges, he developed a passion for storytelling in school, eventually moving into journalism and teaching. He has written several successful books, with plans for more adaptations in the future.
At the Patna Book Fair, visitors can take selfies with ‘Main’, but there is only one copy available in both Hindi and English. The event is expected to attract over 6 lakh visitors. Ratneshwar will also engage with readers about his book on December 7, emphasizing that this book is not just a written work, but a scripture that holds deep significance.
