"My grandfather took me to Gita Vatika when I was eight. Bhai Ji was sitting on a simple jute mat, lovingly answering questions for hours without a trace of fatigue. He gave me a copy of Kalyan with his own hands."
"When my mother was severely ill in 1967, my father wrote to Bhai Ji seeking spiritual solace. Within five days, a postcard arrived in Bhai Ji's own gentle handwriting advising continuous Mahamantra japa. We have preserved that card like a shrine."
"Bhai Ji always emphasized that service done with the desire of praise is merely commerce; only service done anonymously as an offering to God is true devotion. That principle transformed my life and career."
Shri Hanuman Prasad Poddar, reverently known across India and the world as 'Bhai Ji', devoted his life to spiritual enlightenment, publishing timeless scriptures through Gita Press Gorakhpur, and establishing Gita Vatika as a sanctum of eternal love and selfless service.
