PM Modi, today released six special commemorative postage stamps dedicated to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple along with an album carrying similar stamps related to Lord Ram issued earlier in different countries of the world was also released. He congratulated all the devotees of Lord Ram in Bharat and abroad on the occasion. The Prime Minister said that we all know that these stamps are pasted on envelops to send letters or important documents. But they serve another purpose as well. Postage stamps also act as medium to pass on historical events to the future generations. So whenever you send a letter or object to someone with a postal stamp on it, you’re also sending them a piece of history. These tickets are not just a piece of paper, but smallest form of history books, artefacts and historical sites. The Prime Minister said that these commemorative stamps will also help our young generation in learning about Lord Ram and his life. He said devotion to Lord Ram has been expressed via artistic expression on these stamps and with the mention of the popular quatrain: ‘मंगल भवन अमंगल हारी’, a wish for the development of the nation has been made. The sun, the symbol of ‘Suryavanshi’ Ram, river ‘Saryu’ and internal architecture of the temple has also been depicted on these stamps. While the sun gives the message of new light in the country, picture of Saryu indicates that the country will always remain dynamic with the blessings of Ram.
