Hanuman Prasad Poddar : An Exalted Divinity


Book Description

You are holding in your hands the first book containing an authentic biography of two greatest divinities of this country about which people are not well acquainted. It contains a unique account not found elsewhere about the actual meetings of Bhaijee—Shri Hanuman Prasad Poddar with Lord Vishnu in 1927 at Jasidih in front of several gentlemen and again in Gorakhpur. Second important event is the exclusive appearance of saint Narad and great sage Angira in front of Bhaijee in 1936. Conversation of Bhaijee with a Parsee ghost would certainly convince readers about the importance of Shraddh to be performed after one’s death. Bhaijee was not only a true saint and social reformer but was also involved in independence movement of India. Founder editor of famous ‘Kalyan’; Bhaijee did herculean efforts to translate rare and ancient scriptures like Ramayana & Mahabharat from Sanskrit to Hindi and made them available to everyone at very nominal price. Bhaijee showed an evidence for a brightest identity of the sweet love towards Radha-Krishna and explored its feasibility to achieve it with an utmost simplicity through his discourses and texts. He did an extraordinary campaign for divine name and religious devotion (Bhakti) amidst general public. Inclusion of a short biography of another divinity—Sethji Shri Jaidayal Goyandka is another feature of this seminal book. The credit for establishment of Gita Press in Gorakhpur; Govind Bhawan in Kolkata; Gita Bhawan of Swargashram at Rishikesh and Rishikul Ashram in Churu including a unique; authentic and excellent commentary on Gita goes to him only.

Gita Press and the Making of Hindu India


Book Description

In the early 1920s, Jaydayal Goyandka and Hanuman Prasad Poddar, two Marwari businessmen-turned-spiritualists, set up the Gita Press and Kalyan magazine. As of early 2014, Gita Press had sold close to 72 million copies of the Gita, 70 million copies of Tulsidas's works and 19 million copies of scriptures like the Puranas and Upanishads. And while most other journals of the period, whether religious, literary or political, survive only in press archives, Kalyan now has a circulation of over 200,000, and its English counterpart, Kalyana-Kalpataru, of over 100,000. Gita Press created an empire that spoke in a militant Hindu nationalist voice and imagined a quantifiable, reward-based piety. Almost every notable leader and prominent voice, including Mahatma Gandhi, was roped in to speak for the cause. Cow slaughter, Hindi as national language and the rejection of Hindustani, the Hindu Code Bill, the creation of Pakistan, India's secular Constitution: Kalyan and Kalyana-Kalpataru were the spokespersons of the Hindu position on these and other matters. Featuring an extraordinary cast of characters - buccaneering entrepreneurs and hustling editors, nationalist ideologues and religious fanatics - this is essential (and exciting) reading for our times.
