Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said, ‘Gandhi Peace Prize for 2021 has been given to Geeta Press in Gorakhpur, which is completing its 100 years this year. Writer Akshay Mukul wrote an excellent biography on Geeta Press in 2015, detailing the organization’s relationship with Mahatma Gandhi and the ongoing battles with him on political, religious and social agendas. The decision to give him this award is really a joke. It is like awarding Savarkar and Godse.

On Jairam Ramesh’s statement, BJP MP and former Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said – This is the statement of Rahul Gandhi’s advisor. What can you expect from them. These people created hurdles in the construction of Ram temple. Opposed the triple talaq law. What can be more shameful than this. The whole country should oppose them.

Gita Press is one of the largest publishers in the world.
Gita Press was established in 1923. It is one of the largest publishers in the world. Geeta Press has so far printed 92 crore books of Sanatan Dharma, which is a record. This year alone 2 crore 42 lakh books have been published. Since the political controversy over Ramcharitmanas, more than 50 thousand books have been sold. The income of the press has also increased.

Inspired by Gita, Seth Goyandka opened the press in 1923
The credit for taking Shrimad Bhagwad Gita and Ramcharitmanas to every household also goes to Gita Press. The story of the beginning of Geeta Press is very interesting. It is about the 1920s. Jaydayal Goyandka, a Marwari Seth from Calcutta, used to read Gita daily. One thing written in the form of Gita Saar in the 18th chapter touched his heart. This thing was, ‘Whoever recites this supreme secret Gita Shastra to my devotees, I will get it’.

After this, at the behest of the people, Goyandka got his explanation published by a press, but he was saddened to see the glaring mistakes in it. The same day he thought of the press. Then on the suggestion of one of his devotees Ghanshyamdas Jalan of Gorakhpur, Gita Press was started in the same city in 1923 in a rented house of 10 rupees.
