Our Book Publishing Process
Our book publishing process is straightforward and efficient and is aimed at presenting the topics as close as possible to the original spoken text, with minimal editing.
1
Selecting the topic
Drawing from a large selection of more than 10,000 hours of archived (audio/video) classes, lectures, darshans and room conversations delivered by Srila Gour Govinda Swami starting from 1985 through 1996, we organise the lectures according to various tattvas, themes and topics, such as Guru Tattva, Radha Tattva, Varnashram, etc.
2
Transcribing
The lectures are transcribed and then compared with the original audio. We also verify the accuracy of Sanskrit and Bengali verses.
3
Text Editing/Proofreading
The transcript is sent to ten editors and proofreaders for review. All corrections are then incorporated into the original document.
Our process is aimed at presenting the topics as close as possible to the original spoken text, with minimal editing.
4
Design and Layout!
After editing, the document is beautifully formatted into a design layout, that does justice to the sacred words, much like the decoration of the sacred arca vigraha Deity.
The final design is then converted into a print-ready PDF,
ready to go into production.
Final Pdf Check + Printing
Once the final PDF is approved, we proceed to print the book.
