Fresh prints of Ramcharit Manas, Bhagwat Geeta in binding machine, Hanuman Chalisa’s art work done, Shiv Puran ready for stacking.Had divine 4 hrs at Geeta Press, Gorakhpur

With 1800 active titles, 2.25 Cr annual prints, Geeta Press is doing a huge service to Sanatan Parampara
It was an enriching discussion with Lal Mani Tiwari ji at Geeta Press. He told us the history behind founding of Geeta Press, Why in Gorakhpur, How they operate, how people who don’t like their work, try to create problems and how Bhagwan give them power to fight back 🪔
Lal Mani ji told us that founder ‘Jaya Dayal Goyanka’ read the 68th Shloka of chapter 18 of Geeta, which says spreading the learnings of Geeta is the best way to reach God. And so he started printing Geetas & named it ‘Geeta Press’. GD Jalan ji helped in setting up press in GKP
Lal Mani ji also expressed his disappointment - How @Akshayamukul accessed them in good faith & wrote a biased, negative book on this divine phenomenon called - Geeta Press. It’s seems - likes of @Ram_Guha & @NandanNilekani have funded this writing project 😞😞
Let me show you the meticulous processes & high quality engineering inside the divine press - Geeta Press, Gorakhpur
Anirudh Yadav ji took us through a breathtaking exhibition inside Geeta Press premise with Ram-Leela, Krishna-Leela, Shiva-Leela & other leelas depicted through 200+ years old original art work.

Note the ‘जय श्रीराम’ art work, which has whole Ramayana within it 🙌
Veteran Artists were busy making the divine art work, which goes into Geeta Press publication.

For everyone there, it was their आहुति in the अनुष्ठान called Geeta Press 🙏
Shared the Hindi copy of my latest book - ‘एक योगी जिसने बदला उत्तर प्रदेश’ with Lalmani Tiwari Ji of Geeta Press, Gorakhpur
At every print role, I wanted to bow 🙇 down at Geeta Press

Experience of life time 🪔
This is how Geeta Press (गीता मुद्रालयम) is relentlessly working since 1923 AD (सम्वत् १९८०) for making Sanatan literature available to people. Since inception they have printed 72 crore copies of 2200 different titles

Important thread on EVMs

- Let’s don’t allow @yadavakhilesh to malign EVMs & the robust electioneering process by Election commission of India, @ECISVEEP

- Check at how many stages in the whole election process every party’s representatives sign, check & approve

1/n
Step 1 : After every elections EVMs are re-calibrated (old data is cleaned) and kept in strong rooms in view of all party’s representatives

2/n
Step 2: For a particular election, EVMs are brought & randomisation (randomly selection of which EVM will go to which polling both) is done & random checks of EVMs are also done in front of all party’s representatives. During randomisation, election observers are present

3/n

UP has attained new heights under his leadership. I am fortunate to study his life and write on it.

My warm wishes to UP CM #YogiAdityanath ji 🙏

Sharing some interesting pictures in the thread, from my travels while writing - The Monk Who Became Chief Minister
#YogiAdityanath ji's parents' native house in Panchur village in Pauri, Garhwal (UK). Yogi Ji's mother is at the door. I am sitting on the stairs. My publisher Praveen from @BloomsburyIndia is also seen. #HappyBirthdayYogiJi
Meeting Savitri Devi Ji, mother of #YogiAdityanath ji was such humbling experience of our lives. She was polite but a very strong lady.
