Osmania University, 1969 - First Day Cover





The 51st anniversary founding of the Osmania University was celebrated on 15.03.1969. Indian Posts & Telegraphs issued a commemorative stamp, an FDC and a brochure on the occasion. The cover shows the logo of the Osmania University and it bears the Sanskrit phrase --

तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय  
tamaso mā jyotir gamaya
Lead me from darkness to light

This is a mantra from the Bṛhadāraṇyaka-upaniṣad (1.3.28) of the Śukḷa-yajurveda (Vājasaneya-śākhā).
