From 1944 to 1960, he worked as a Sanskrit teacher at Shankrappa Sakri High School in Bagalkot. In 1961, he moved to Gadag, where he started a Sanskrit school called Veera Narayana Pathashala.
In 1971, Acharya Galagali established the Veda Purana Sahitya Mala to translate and publish the 18 Mahapuranas into Kannada (14 have been translated into 18 volumes so far).
For over forty years, Acharya Galagali served as the editor for the following newspapers:
- Shri Sudha (Kannada)
- Madhura Vani (Sanskrit)
- Panchamrutha (Kannada)
- Vaijayanti (Sanskrit){{cite web |url=https://archive.org/details/vaijayanti3/mode/2up |title=Vaijayanti Sanskrit Newspaper |first= Pandharinathacharya |last=Galagali |publisher=Ramacharya Galagali |date=1 January 1983 |work=Vaijayanti |accessdate=22 March 2020 }}

Style of writing
Pandit Galagali's predominant prose style follows that of Banabhatta while his poetic technique resembles that of Kalidasa.
"He excels in the usage of alankāras like Parisamkhyā, Ullekha, Upamā, Ílesa, Mālopamā and Anuprāsa. Galagali is a versatile author and has covered a vast spectrum of various genres in his writings. He is in fact an epitome of creativity and learning in Sanskrit, and being an excellent orator, has [revived] Sanskrit culture through his speeches also."{{cite web |url=http://www.sanskrit.nic.in/digitalbook/m/mswk.pdf |title=Modern Sanskrit Writings in Karnataka |first1=S. |last1=Ranganath |last2=Dash |first2=Achyutanand |publisher=Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan |year=2009 |accessdate=15 August 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120501072906/http://www.sanskrit.nic.in/DigitalBook/M/Mswk.pdf# |archive-date=1 May 2012 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}
