NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today released a stamp on the 1000th birth anniversary of great social reformer and Saint Shri Ramanujacharya.

Speaking on the occasion, he said the central message of Saint Shri Ramanujacharya’s life was ”inclusive society, religion and philosophy”.

He believed that whatever is, and whatever will be, is but an expression of God. He saw the manifestation of God in human beings, and human beings in God. He saw all devotees of God as equal.         He credited Saint Shri Ramanujacharya with rebelling against the entrenced caste system — in his personal life and religious teachings– at a time when caste distinction and hierarchy had been recognised as integral to society and religion and every one had accepted his or her place as high and low in the hierarchy.
