Visva Bharati - Golden Jubilee, 1971 - First Day Cover

India Post issued a commemorative stamp on 24.12.1971 to mark the Golden Jubilee of Viśvabhāratī along with an FDC and Brochure. The stamp on FDC depicted here is post-marked at Śāntiniketan. 

The cover bears a motto in Sanskrit taken from the Vedas --

The second line of the first verse of the text of the mantra alone is quoted here. Minor variation and transposition is seen in Yjurveda-Kāṇva-Saṁhitā 35.35, Yajurveda-Mādhyaṅdina-Saṁhitā, 32.8 (nihitaṃ guhā sat), Atharva-veda, 2.1 (rūpam).

venas tat paśyan viśvā bhuvanāni vidvān 

yatra viśvaṃ bhavatyekanīḍaṃ.....                                    

                                              -- Mahānārāyaṇa-Upaniṣad, 1.14

In the above Upaniṣad, a Gandharva named Vena* declared having seen that Paramātman: He in whom the universe finds a single place of rest ....

This is India's vision - a unique tradition of not having attacked any other country (other than inside politrics!!).
