Kolkata : Book Peckers, a prominent literary agency and publishing house, recently held a distinguished event to launch two significant literary works by Pinaki Gangopadhyay. The first book, titled ‘God Science and Reality,’ dwells on the intersection of quantum physics and the ancient Indian philosophy of Vedanta, presenting it through nonfiction narrative. The second, a poetry collection titled ‘Ardhosotyer Dinrat’ or ‘Half Truth, Full Life’ in its English translation, offers a series of Bengali poems that introspect on contemporary societal norms and values.
The event was graced by several luminaries from various fields. ‘God Science and Reality’ was introduced by Swami Vedanishthananda Maharaj and renowned scholar Nrisingha Prasad Bhaduri, highlighting its philosophical depth and scientific approach. The poetry book ‘Ardhosotyer Dinrat’ saw its unveiling by renowned poet Subodh Sarkar and celebrated elocutionist Bratati Bandopadhyay.
During the event, Basundhara Ghoshal, Director of Book Peckers, expressed her enthusiasm about the new releases. She noted, “These books are not just texts but invitations to think and explore beyond the conventional. ‘God Science and Reality’ merges rigorous scientific methodology with spiritual insights, offering readers a framework to question and understand the nature of existence through both lenses. Meanwhile, ‘Ardhosotyer Dinrat’ captures the essence of modern dilemmas and societal reflections through its poignant poetry, pushing the reader to consider the realities behind perceived truths.”
‘God Science and Reality’ is particularly notable for its ambitious scope, attempting to bridge the often-separate worlds of science and spirituality. The book argues for a complementary view where both perspectives are vital to a fuller understanding of the universe. ‘Ardhosotyer Dinrat,’ on the other hand, uses the medium of poetry to explore deep ethical questions and the human condition, resonating with readers who are seeking reflections on personal and societal morality in the context of modern life.
The launch event itself served as a confluence of thought leaders from the domains of literature, philosophy, and spirituality, attracting a diverse audience eager to engage with these powerful themes. The discussion and readings from the books sparked conversations among attendees, reflecting the profound impact of these works.
Both ‘God Science and Reality’ and ‘Ardhosotter Dinrat’ are now available at leading bookstores and through online platforms. They are priced at Rs 450 and Rs 300 respectively, making them accessible to a wide audience keen on exploring these compelling topics further. The availability of these works across various sales channels underscores BookPeckers’ commitment to disseminating thought-provoking and culturally significant literature.
