Welcome to the Gita Press

Gita Press is a unit of Gobind Bhawan Karyalaya registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 (presently governed by the West Bengal Societies Act, 1960). The institution’s main objective is to promote and spread the principles of Sanatana Dharma, the Hindu religion among the general public by publishing Gita, Ramayana, Upanishads, Puranas, Discourses of eminent Saints and other character-building books & magazines and marketing them at highly subsidised prices. The institution strives for the betterment of life and the well-being of all. It aims to promote the art of living as propounded in the Gita for peace & happiness and the ultimate upliftment of mankind. The founder, Brahmalina Shri Jayadayalji Goyandka, was a staunch devotee and an exalted soul. He was much given to the Gita as the panacea for mankind’s plight and began publishing it and other Hindu scriptures to spread good intent and good thought amongst all. The Governing Council (Trust Board) manages the institution. The institution neither solicits donations nor accepts advertisements in its publications. The deficit is met by the surplus from other departments of the society which render services at reasonable cost, in accordance with the objects of the society.

Main Entrance
The main Entrance to the Press is notable for its design. Every aspect of it represents India’s rich architectural heritage
Each portion of the gate takes inspiration from specific ancient renowned temple styles. In effect, the entrance shows a panorama of Indian temple architecture. For example – the pillars of the entrance are based on the pillars of the famous cave-temple Ellora. The circular hollow in the middle portion, behind the chariot of Sri Krishna and Arjuna, is reminiscent of the mouth of the Ajanta cave temple. The peak of the Entrance reminds one of the head part of the Meenakshi temple of South India. This grand and representative Entrance was inaugurated by the First President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad on the 29th of April, 1955.
