The Gita Press is now a name to reckon with in the field of publication of Hindu religious literature. Shri Goyandka was able to get the support of scholars such as Ghanshyam Das Jalan, Hanuman Prasad Po

The nature and character of a person is known by what he/she speaks about others. Truly, it is the ‘unripe ego’ which indulges in fault-finding and slandering.

All his passions, lust, anger, and greed will wane, his attachment for the objects of the senses will diminish, and he will have peace at heart.’ Sou
