Jagran correspondent, Saharsa. The names of Mahishi located in Saharsa, Mandan Mishra and Shankaracharya Shastrarth are famous in the country and abroad. With the aim of preserving this glorious history of Mahishi and keeping alive the Shastrartha tradition, Mandan Mishra-Shankaracharya Shastrartha postage stamp was issued by the Postal Department. This is the first historical event of the district on which the Postal Department issued a stamp. So that the scriptures of Mandan Mishra and Shankaracharya remain alive in the records of the Postal Department of the Government of India. But this postage stamp has not yet reached the land of Mandan Mishra.
About three months ago, Bihar state level philatelic collection exhibition was displayed among the common people through Mandan Mishra-Shankaracharya Shastrarth in the Postal Department, Patna. Even after its release, the stamp has not reached the post office of Saharsa till date. Interested people go to the post office to buy stamps to preserve their history through curiosity but have to return disappointed. People say that when the history of Saharsa got a place in the postal department and that postage stamp is not available here, then what to say about other places.
Educationist Dilip Choudhary of Mahishi village, who came to buy the postage stamp for debate on Mandan Mishra-Shankaracharya, said that till now it is not available in the post office. He went to buy the postage stamp twice after it was issued so that he could preserve the history of his village through postage stamps. But it is not available in the post office. Told that people of the new generation will be curious and aware of that aspect through this postage stamp. The government has taken a good initiative, it should be made available in the post office soon.
Mandan Mishra Dham is being built
Ugratara temple and Mandan Mishra Dham are being built in Mahishi. It is being prepared by the Tourism Department. That corridor is being built at the site of Mandan Mishra and Shankaracharya at a cost of about Rs 14 crore. So that that history can be preserved as heritage. This construction work is also going on.
Such information was not available before. Very soon this stamp will be made available in the post office.
