Shri Murlidhar Mohol, Hon’ble Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation, launched the book in front of 700+ Booklovers
PUNE, 19 JANUARY, 2025 (TGN): Mrutyu – Ek Atal Satya, the Marathi translation of Sadhguru’s bestselling book Death: An Inside Story (published in English in 2020), was launched yesterday by Sakal Prakashan and Isha Life.
The launch event took place at the packed 700-seater auditorium of Symbiosis Vishwabhavan on Senapati Bapat Road, Pune. Hon’ble Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Shri Murlidhar Mohol, unveiled the book alongside Prof. Milind Joshi, renowned writer and Working President of Maharashtra Sahitya Parishad, Shri Avinash Dharmadhikari, Founder-Director of Chanakya Mandal Pariwar, and Shri Ashutosh Ramgir, Head of Sakal Prakashan.
Speaking at the event, Shri Mohol remarked, “Sadhguru is a spiritual inspiration, and youth across the world are eager to read his books. His insights on death will evoke deep reflection in the younger generation. Indian philosophy has long asserted that death is inevitable and inescapable. If death is an unavoidable truth, it can serve as a tool to understand life more profoundly. By bringing this book to Marathi readers, Sakal Prakashan has made a significant contribution.”
Talking about the book’s relevance, Prof. Milind Joshi shared, “There are many positive aspects to the word Mrutyu. If we embrace them, they can transform the way we live. In this regard, what Sadhguru has conveyed through this book is truly valuable.”
“What happens before we are born and after we die, and everything in between is very beautifully explained by Sadhguru,” he observed.
Addressing the younger audience, he advised, “In today’s glossy world, the youth must question and discern what is fleeting and what is lasting. To reflect on this, I highly recommend reading this book.”
Reflecting on Sadhguru’s immense contribution to society, Shri Avinash Dharmadhikari said, “I have already read the English version of the book. It was a masterpiece, but I believe this Marathi edition will resonate even more deeply, because of the language’s ability to express a subject like this.
Death: An Inside Story has sold over 5 lakh copies and holds a 4.75-star rating from 12,500 reviewers on Amazon. The book has also been translated into Hindi, Gujarati, Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil. Additionally, its English edition is set to be launched in the United States by Penguin Random House, USA.
This is Sadhguru’s fourth Marathi book published by Sakal Prakashan. His first Marathi book ‘Atmadynanache Vidnyan’, a Marathi translation of New York Times bestseller ‘Inner Engineering’, has sold over 20 thousand copies so far, making it the Marathi bestseller book.
