In the heart of the buzzing International Kolkata Book Fair 2025, a sanctuary of serenity, spirituality and tranquility awaits, beckoning the seekers of truth, peace, and wisdom. Amidst the vibrant drapery of literary jewels, the stalls of Udbodhan by Ramakrishna Math, and Kalpataru Jagaran Sangha on the religious principles of Shree Madhab Nilanjan, Matri shakti by Dakshineshwar embodying the notion of women empowerment, Belur Math stands as an epitome of spiritual enlightenment, their shelves embellished with treasures of literature that have transformed thousands of lives, guided them towards the path of self-awakening and edification.
The quiet buddies, books enveloping imperativeness, and orchestra of otherworldliness, symphony of spirituality hold the ability to transform lives, light the flash of introspection among the personalities of the perusers looking for agreement and timeless refinement. As we delve deep into the texts and their narratives, we embark on a transformative voyage of life immersing in the depth of our souls and beyond our psyche unearthing hidden truths, arousing our divine potential. These texts are not mere compilations of words, but potent catalysts for spiritual growth, a connection of the bookworms with the divine.

The Matri Shakti stall by Dakshineshwar temple holds prominence as here the platonic presence of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa, the god-intoxicated saint, permeates the ambiance. The stall has been set up for the first time at IKBF highlighting “ Dakshineshwar Kali Mandir Er Itibritto’’, the text circumscribing the history of the temple. The theme Matri Shakti embodies the aura of Maa Kali and also the elegance and empowerment of Rani Rashmoni, the founder of the temple. Here one can immerse oneself in the nectar of his divine words experiencing the bliss of pure devotion and ecstasy of divine love. The Yogada Satsang stall also serves as a beacon of divine wisdom where timeless teachings if true master resonate with seekers.
Thus IKBF is not a mere bookfair but also an expedition towards divinity.
