Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 7 while attending the closing ceremony of the centenary celebrations of the Gita Press in Gorakhpur described the publishing house as “not less than any temple” adding the publisher is “guiding humanity” through its work.
“Gita Press is not only a printing press or an institution but a living faith. The publisher is ‘guiding humanity’. It is no less than any temple for crores of people. There is Gita in its name as well as in its work. Where there is Gita, there is Krishna in person. Where there is Krishna, there is compassion as well as action. The spiritual light which was ignited in the form of Geeta Press in 1923, today that light is guiding humanity,” said Mr. Modi.
