Publication of more than 92 crore books so far
Geetapress is the world’s largest publishing house in terms of publication of religious and spiritual books. The credit goes to Geetapress for taking Shriramcharitmanas and Shrimad Bhagwat texts to every household. Geetapress was established in 1923 by Seth Jaydayal Goyandka in a rented building. With the association of world famous householder Saint Bhaiji Hanuman Prasad Poddar with Geetapress and the publication of Kalyan Patrika, its fame became increasingly global. Its role in preserving Sanatan Dharma and culture through literature publication is as important as temples and pilgrimage sites. Since its inception, more than 92 crore books have been published by Geetapress.
