Dear Friends: Namaste.
This is a great news. After years of trying, the efforts have been successful. US State Representative Hon.Tulsi Gabbard lead the drive by uniting different Hindu organizations across USA. Petition to Issue the Diwali Stamp was widely circulated. Finally US Postal Department has announced on August 23rd that it will issue DIWALI stamp on DIWALI DAY, October 30th.
As you know Global Hindu Heritage Foundation also actively participated in the effort and mailed the Petition to nearly 20,000 emails requesting them to sign.
This letter is received from Hon. Tulsi Gabbard's office.
Namaste Prakasarao,
