PM presents stamps issued by Indian Government on death centenary of Abraham Lincoln to the US President

Published By : Admin | June 27, 2017 | 04:08 IST

Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented President Donald J. Trump a folio containing an original commemorative postal stamp that had been issued by India 52 years ago in 1965 to mark the death centenary of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States of America. Apart from honouring the memory of a great American President, the issue of this stamp also symbolized the closeness of the ideals for which Lincoln stood and those which drove Mahatma Gandhi. Both leaders believed in the basic goodness of the common man, and in emancipation of the downtrodden. And both leaders led from the front, with indomitable courage against the forces of reaction and outmoded beliefs. As it happened, both of them laid down their lives for the cause dearest to their hearts.  

 

 The Prime Minister also presented to the President a wooden chest with intricate inlay pattern that is a specialty of Hoshiarpur in Punjab. For the First Lady, the Prime Minister presented a hamper containing a traditional, handcrafted Himachali silver bracelet, tea and honey from Kangra valley, and hand-woven shawls from Jammu and Kashmir, and Himachal Pradesh.

Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the value of truth and perseverance
May 05, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, said that success achieved through tireless effort and by following the path of truth is lasting. He noted that such success not only builds self-confidence but also brings a deep sense of satisfaction to the mind.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

“न तथा बलवीर्याभ्यां जयन्ति विजिगीषवः।
यथा सत्यानृशंस्याभ्यां धर्मेणैवोद्यमेन च॥”

The Subhashitam conveys that those who aspire to win do not succeed merely through strength and power, but through truth, compassion, righteousness and unwavering effort.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“अथक परिश्रम और सत्य के मार्ग पर चलकर प्राप्त की गई सफलता स्थायी होती है। इससे जहां आत्मविश्वास बढ़ता है, वहीं मन को अद्भुत संतोष भी मिलता है।

न तथा बलवीर्याभ्यां जयन्ति विजिगीषवः।

यथा सत्यानृशंस्याभ्यां धर्मेणैवोद्यमेन च ।।”
