World's costliest book unveiled at Patna Book Fair; author Ratneshwar says 'price set by god, not me'
Dec 07, 2025
Speaking at the launch, Ratneshwar said the book was the outcome of a deeply personal spiritual awakening. "This book has the discovery of the supreme state of knowledge. That is the basic point," he said. "For example, when you hear that any living creature, like Gautam Buddha, had been enlightened, then what was that state after which it was certified that they had attained enlightenment? This volume tells about that state, and it is the first of its type in the world."
