Patria Post - Offís postíe Patriaë

Welcome to the official Patria Post page. Although e-mail is the preferred method of communication in the Inner Realm, Patria Post (known in Sanskrit as Ramrajya-Dak) has been issuing postage stamps since the middle of the 19th century, when the micronation was still known as the Republic of Castoria.

On this page you will find a sampling of Patria's recent postage stamp issues. Note that most stamps issued since 2012 are non-denominated "forever" stamps. The number 1 on such stamps does not represent a denomination of one Patrienish Rupee but the current rate for a standard first-class letter weighing up to 30 grams. All stamps bear the Sanskrit name of Patria, Ramrajya, in Devanagari script.

Definitive (regular issue) stamps portray various Hindu deities in traditional scenes.

A series of commemoratives illustrate the Kripalu Yoga lineage: Dadaji, Swami Kripalvananda (Bapuji) and Yogi Amrit Desai (Gurudev). Commemoratives issued in 2013 mark Swami Kripalvananda's 100th birthday and Swami Vivekananda's 150th birthday.

Memorial stamps have been issued to commemorate the passing of noted macro-national world leaders such as Ronald Reagan , Pierre E. Trudeau and Nelson Mandela. Legendary folk singer Pete Seeger has also been honored with a memorial stamp.

Christmas stamps are a popular issue for collectors each year in December. Janmashtami (Krishna's birthday) stamps are also a popular issue in August.
