It is yet another means by which the Institute tries to educate people about culture in all its aspects. The Publication Department, with a competent team of editorial staff and proofreaders and its in-house DTP and Off-set printing systems, publishes books on Religion, Philosophy, Indology, Vedanta, Meditation, Yogas and Ramakrishna-Vivekananda ideals. Books are published both in English and Bengali. In case of Sanskrit works, original texts in Sanskrit are presented with annotation in English or Bengali.
The Publication Department works jointly with the Research and Value Orientation wings and the books it publishes therefore belong to both serious and popular reading kinds. It also brings out the Bulletin of the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture---a monthly journal rich in content, which reproduces , among others, the best of the lectures that are delivered at the Institute as part of its cultural activities. The ideas projected through all its publications reflect these words of Swami Vivekananda:"Help and not Fight. Assimilation and not Destruction. Harmony and Peace and not Dissension".
The Book Sales Section makes available to people all the books that the Institute publishes as well the important publications of other Ramakrishna Mission Centres
