PM Modi unveils six commemorative stamps dedicated to Ayodhya's Ram Temple
New Delhi/UNI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday released six special commemorative postage stamps dedicated to the Ayodhya's Ram Temple, along with an album carrying similar stamps related to Lord Ram.
"These stamps are not just a piece of paper, but the smallest form of history books, artefacts, and historical sites," Modi stated in the run up to the grand consecration ceremony of the Ayodhya temple scheduled for January 22..
"Postage stamps also act as a medium to pass on historical events to 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," he added.
The Prime Minister also congratulated all the devotees of Lord Ram in Bharat and abroad on the occasion. He further added that these commemorative stamps will also help our young generation learn about Lord Ram and his life.
Modi praised the saints, who, along with the Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, guided the postal department in coming up with the commemorative stamps.
The Prime Minister underlined that teachings related to Lord Ram, Maa Sita, and the Ramayana go beyond the boundaries of time, society, and caste.
"Ramayana, which teaches about love, sacrifice, unity, and courage even in the most difficult of times, connects the whole of humanity"—adding that this is why Ramayana has always been the centre of attention in the world.
He said the books that were launched today are a reflection of how proudly Lord Ram, Maa Sita, and the Ramayana are seen across the world.
The Prime Minister said countries like America, Australia, Cambodia, Canada, the Czech Republic, Fiji, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Thailand, Guyana, and Singapore are among the many nations that have issued postal stamps with great interest in the life events of Lord Ram.
