THE AMERICAN NOVELIST TOM ROBBINS HAS CALLED HIM "THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN SINCE JESUS CHRIST".

कृष्णांबद्दल ओशो सांगतात - कृष्ण पाच हजार वर्षांपूर्वी जन्मले; पण ते पाच हजार वर्षं पुढे होते. इतर संत-महात्म्यांचा कल विरक्तीकडे होता; पण कृष्ण मात्र भरभरून जगायला सांगतात आणि भरभरून जगतानाही आव्हानांना सामोरं जायला शिकवतात. ज्या कृष्णांनी कौरव-पांडव युद्ध टाळायचा प्रयत्न केला, म्हणजे एक प्रकारे हिंसेला नकार दिला, त्याच कृष्णांनी ऐन युद्धाच्या वेळी कच खाणाऱ्या अर्जुनाला लढायला प्रवृत्त केलं, म्हणजे हिंसेला सामोरं जाण्याचं बळ दिलं. कृष्ण एकमेव असे आहेत जे जीवनाला पूर्णत्वाने स्वीकारतात. म्हणूनच सामान्य माणसालाही ते परिपूर्णतेने जगायला शिकवतात आणि जीवनरूपी द्वंद्वाला भिडायलाही शिकवतात. ओशोंच्या मते विरक्त होणं, शांतीचा मार्ग धरणं हे चुकीचं नसलं तरी त्यातून जीवनापासून पळण्याची एक वृत्ती दिसते. त्याउलट कृष्ण जीवनाला निर्भयपणे सामोरं जायला सांगतात. कृष्णांचं इतर संत-महात्म्यांच्या तुलनेतील वेगळेपण ओशोंनी विविध उदाहरणांतून, विवेचनातून या पुस्तकाद्वारे स्पष्ट केलं आहे.

ओशो..! एक प्रतिभावान विचारवंत..! काळाच्या कित्येक योजनं पुढे जाणारे विचार मांडणारा हा अवलिया..! थेट मानवी भावभावनांना आव्हान देणारे विचार मांडून करोडो माणसांना ‘प्रॅक्टिकल’ मार्ग सांगणारा थोर विचारवंत..! ओशोंनी सतत समाजाला धक्के देणारे विचार मांडले. आजच्या एकविसाव्या शतकातसुद्धा अंधश्रद्धेच्या खोल गर्तेत असणाNया आपल्या समाजासमोर तीस-पस्तीस वर्षांपूर्वी ओशोंनी काही ठणठणीत उपाय सांगितले. परंतु आपण सामान्य माणसं प्रत्येक विचारवंताला विरोध करत राहतो, काळाच्या पुढे जाणारा माणूस आपल्या आवाक्यात येत नाही, आपण पेलू शकत नाही. ओशोंनी मात्र सगळ्या विरोधाला टक्कर देत, समाजाला सतत जागृत ठेवण्याचं काम अखंडपणे केलं. रोजच्या जगण्याशी पटणारे, शुद्ध विचार समोर ठेवले.

A pioneer in the publication industry for nearly four decades, Mehta Publishing House has stood the test of time gloriously by just doing what the vision statement states, celebrating Marathi as regional language and publishing rustic stories by renowned authors not only from Marathi literature but also across the globe. Being true to its roots, the company believes in exploring the rich literature of India and lauds homebred writers with great responsibility and pride. This very core belief has what led Mehta Publishing House to become the leaders in Marathi publishing in India today.

The success of Mehta Publishing House can be entirely credited to its competent management team. Incorporated under the guidance of Mr. Anil Mehta in 1976, Mehta Publishing House started with the publication of its first Marathi book titled ‘Malayvarchi Maina’, a collection of short stories authored by Anand Yadav. Today, the company has grown manifold and has managed to achieve various milestones. The reins are now in the very capable hands of Mr. Sunil Mehta, the current CEO of Mehta Publishing House, who is effortlessly amalgamating traditional core values with modern technological advancements in the publication industry. Mr. Mehta’s effort has helped Mehta Publishing House to create its own niche in the Marathi publishing industry.

With more than 150 new titles and 300 reprints being published every year, Mehta Publishing House has made its presence felt in nearly all genres & sub-categories of books with a dynamic backlist of over 4500 titles. We have the most prominent Marathi writers and bestselling books under our umbrella. So much so that with increased demand, the publishing house was induced to print and release translated versions of the same in many other Indian languages too including Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali, Kannada and several others. Not just limited to books, we are also the world’s first publishing house and one-of-a-kind to come up with authentic and original DRM enabled Marathi e-Books. After dominating the Marathi literature scene for several years, Mehta Publishing House has spread its wings by venturing into publishing of English books primarily to be able to reach more readers and spread the joy of reading.
