States have money for freebies, but not for judges: Supreme Court
"When it comes to paying judges, states often cite financial constraints. However, during elections, we see announcements of freebies...like promises made by political parties where assurances of paying 2,100-₹2,500 are made to win polls," it said

🌟 Celebrating 1 Year of Shree Ram Lalla Temple’s Pran Pratishtha
🗓 Date: January 11, 2025
🙏 Today marks the 1st anniversary of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony at the sacred Shree Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
But why celebrate today when the ceremony originally happened on January 22, 2024?
✨ The answer lies in the Hindu lunar calendar (Panchang), which follows the moon’s cycles. Today, Paush Shukla Paksha Dwadashi (12th lunar day) aligns with the same auspicious Tithi of the ceremony. With 80% of the moon visible 🌖, this day symbolizes divine strength and growing light.
The Hindu calendar beautifully connects us to nature, reminding us of the spiritual rhythm of time. Let’s honor Lord Ram, our traditions, and the eternal bond between the divine and the cosmos.
Jai Shri Ram! 🙏❤️

Tributes To Swami Vivekananda Ji On His Birth Anniversary
🌟 Swami Vivekananda: The Timeless Monk of Modern Era
In an age without the internet, Twitter, WhatsApp, or YouTube, Vivekananda's words resonated across the world, inspiring millions and drawing them closer to the essence of Sanatan Dharma ☸️.
His iconic 1893 Chicago speech at the World Parliament of Religions remains immortal, beginning with the unforgettable,
“Sisters and Brothers of America”,
a salutation that won hearts globally.
Today, as we celebrate his 163rd birthday, we reflect on the depth of this spiritual giant—an ocean of wisdom, requiring countless rebirths of mankind to fathom.
His teachings inspire to this day:
✔️ "All power is within you; you can do anything and everything."
His conversation with Ramakrishna Paramahansa enlightens us:
Vivekananda: How can I get the best out of life?
Ramakrishna: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
