Fellow-EpicIndian Saravana Kumar suggested a website www.gitapress.org for Gita and other Hindu spiritual books. As the name of website suggests, its website of Gita Press Gorakhpur. The press publishes Gita, Ramayan, Mahabharat, Puran-Upnishads and other spiritual books for all age.
What attracted me most was the variety of books available on every subject. Another advantage is the extremely-low-prices. Gita of 14cmx21cm 430pages is priced at Rs.25 only. Strange! They are definitely not earning anything out of it.
Gita Press was founded in 1923 by Jayadayal Goyandka. The press has published over 37 crore books so far, isn't it a huge figure? They say that their selling price is lower than the production price. They don't seek any kind of donations for their survival. They have many outlets all over the India. Alas! There is none in Bhopal :( Anyways, Internet Jindabad!!! :-)
