What is Hansi Gita Bhawan Trust?
A Hindu religious and charitable trust in Hansi, Hisar district, Haryana, registered on 3 October 1968 and standing on land the family has held since about 1952. It keeps a temple on Bhagat Singh Road where Shri Krishna and Maa Saraswati are installed, holds satsang and recitation, and runs gardens, a hall and an open-air gym that the town uses. Its work is bound by five objects named in clause 3 of the registered Deed, and nothing may be spent outside them.

What Hansi Gita Bhawan is
A sacred home for worship, wisdom, character and Seva.
Established on 3 October 1968, Hansi Gita Bhawan is a Hindu religious and spiritual trust rooted in devotion to Shri Krishna and guided by Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. It is at once a place of worship, a centre of learning and reflection, a community institution, and a trust held for generations yet to come.
परंपरा से जीवन तक
3 अक्टूबर 1968 को स्थापित हांसी गीता भवन उपासना, अध्ययन, संस्कार, आत्मचिंतन और सेवा का केंद्र है। हमारा दायित्व केवल परंपरा की रक्षा करना नहीं, बल्कि उसके प्रकाश को आने वाली पीढ़ियों के जीवन तक पहुँचाना है।
Why Hansi Gita Bhawan exists | हमारा मूल उद्देश्य
To carry the eternal wisdom of Shrimad Bhagavad Gita from one generation to the next — with a special responsibility towards young people, families and the wider community.
हम आने वाली पीढ़ियों को केवल गीता का ग्रंथ नहीं, गीता की दृष्टि देना चाहते हैं — ऐसी दृष्टि जो विचार को स्पष्टता, चरित्र को दृढ़ता और कर्म को धर्म की दिशा दे।

The Gita, in full|संपूर्ण गीता
The conversation that became the Gita.
Two men on a chariot between two armies. Seven hundred verses. The whole of it is on this website, free to read.
All seven hundred verses, published here.
Eighteen chapters, in Sanskrit with transliteration, and in Hindi and English side by side. Every verse was transcribed from published texts and checked against a second source before it was put on this page; where the sources disagreed, a third settled it.
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥
Your right is to the action alone, never to its fruits. Do not let the fruit be your reason for acting, and do not be attached to inaction either.
तुम्हारा अधिकार केवल कर्म में है, उसके फलों में कभी नहीं। फल को कर्म का कारण मत बनाओ, और अकर्म में भी आसक्त मत हो।
Bhagavad Gita 2.47 →Trustee Dharma|न्यासी धर्म
Custodians, not owners.
An institution built to endure for a century and beyond cannot depend upon the character of its founders alone. Its Dharma must outlast them. Those entrusted with Hansi Gita Bhawan hold it in trust for generations they will never meet.

The question we ask ourselves
Are we helping people understand and live the Gita — and through it move closer to Shri Krishna?
क्या हम लोगों को गीता समझने और जीने में सहायता कर रहे हैं — और उसके माध्यम से श्रीकृष्ण के निकट ला रहे हैं?
No individual, family, donor, trustee or generation shall become greater than the purpose of Hansi Gita Bhawan.
