Paush Amavasya 2025 Date: Is It On 19 Or 20 December? Perform These 2 Sacred Rituals For Year-Long Blessings

Paush Amavasya 2025: Paush Amavasya is not merely an astronomical occurrence but a deeply sacred moment in Indian spiritual tradition. It symbolises introspection, ancestral remembrance, ritual purity, and spiritual cleansing. The Amavasya of the Paush month holds special importance as it is considered a short Pitru Paksha, making it an extremely auspicious day to honour ancestors, perform sacred offerings, and seek divine blessings. Devotees believe that on this day, ancestral souls visit the earthly realm, making rituals performed on Paush Amavasya especially fruitful. ALSO READ: Shakambhari Navratri 2025: Know Date, Significance And All About This Navratri Celebrated In Paush Month Paush Amavasya 2025: Date And Muhurat Paush Amavasya will begin on 19 December at 4:59 AM and conclude on 20 December at 7:12 AM. According to the Udaya Tithi (sunrise-based calendar), Paush Amavasya will be observed on 19 December 2025, as the Amavasya Tithi prevails throughout the day. This makes it the most auspicious date for ancestral worship, sacred bathing, donations, and spiritual remedies. Why Paush Amavasya Is Spiritually Significant The Amavasya of the Paush month is regarded as highly beneficial for Pitru Tarpan, spiritual purification, and resolving ancestral karmic influences. Scriptures suggest that rituals performed on this day help calm unsettled energies, remove obstacles, and invite prosperity. It is also considered an ideal time for tantric practices, inner cleansing, and connecting with higher consciousness. Two Powerful Rituals To Perform On Paush Amavasya 2025 1. Vishnu Mantra Remedy for Removing Obstacles If enemies or hidden obstacles are affecting professional or personal life, devotees should chant the 12 sacred names of Lord Vishnu, Achyut, Anant, Damodar, Keshav, Narayan, Shridhar, Govind, Madhav, Hrishikesh, Trivikram, Padmanabh, and Madhusudan, while offering yellow flowers. Later in the evening, immerse the flowers in flowing water or place them beneath a Peepal tree to neutralise negative energies. 2. Sacred Havan For Ancestral Peace And Prosperity Performing a havan on Paush Amavasya is believed to grant peace to ancestors, cleanse the surroundings of negative vibrations, and attract divine blessings. For Pitru Dosh Nivaran and wealth enhancement, offer black sesame seeds, barley, rice, ghee, guggul, and sandalwood into the sacred fire.

'No President Can Ignore Constitution': $100,000 H-1B Fee Triggers Lawsuit As 20 US States Sue Trump

'No President Can Ignore Constitution': $100,000 H-1B Fee Triggers Lawsuit As 20 US States Sue Trump

A coalition led by California has taken the Trump administration to court over its decision to impose a steep $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas, dramatically escalating a national fight over immigration policy and workforce access. The lawsuit, joined by 19 other US states, seeks to block what opponents call an unprecedented and unlawful surcharge that could reshape how American employers hire highly skilled foreign professionals. The legal challenge targets a policy unveiled in September that would raise the cost of an H-1B visa far beyond existing charges, which generally fall between $2,000 and $5,000. Critics argue the move threatens to destabilise a programme that underpins key sectors such as technology, higher education, and healthcare, while also worsening labour shortages already facing public and private institutions. California Takes The Lead California Attorney General Rob Bonta is spearheading the lawsuit, arguing that the Trump administration has exceeded its legal authority. According to the states, immigration law only allows the federal government to levy fees that recover the administrative costs of running visa programmes—not to impose punitive charges designed to raise revenue or discourage participation. Bonta said in a statement that the administration’s illegal $100,000 H-1B visa fee created unnecessary and unlawful financial burdens on California public employers and other providers of vital services, and that it exacerbated labour shortages in key sector, as per a report on India Today. The states contend that the policy would directly harm public universities, hospitals, and research institutions that rely on skilled foreign workers to function effectively. The announcement of the fee has also triggered anxiety among Indian professionals, who constitute a substantial share of H-1B visa holders and form the backbone of many US technology and research teams. Why H-1B Programme Matters The H-1B visa programme allows US employers to recruit foreign professionals for specialised roles that typically require at least a bachelor’s degree or equivalent expertise. Technology firms—many based in California—are among the largest users, but the programme is also critical for staffing hospitals, schools, and scientific research centres. Traditionally, H-1B visas are distributed through a lottery system due to high demand. This year, Amazon emerged as the largest recipient with more than 10,000 visas, followed by companies such as Tata Consultancy Services, Microsoft, Apple, and Google, reported Times Now. California remains the top destination for H-1B workers nationwide, reflecting its concentration of technology and innovation hubs. White House Defends Surcharge The Trump administration has pushed back strongly against criticism of the policy. White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers defended the fee as lawful and necessary, describing it as “a necessary, initial, incremental step towards reforms to the H-1B program.” Administration officials argue that the surcharge aligns with broader efforts to reform immigration rules and reduce reliance on foreign labour, though opponents say it risks undermining US competitiveness and innovation.

Sanskrit To Be Taught At Pak Varsity For First Time Since Partition; Courses On Gita, Mahabharata Soon

Sanskrit To Be Taught At Pak Varsity For First Time Since Partition; Courses On Gita, Mahabharata Soon

Pakistan, for the first time since Partition, has made a comeback into classrooms with the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) introducing a four-credit Sanskrit course to teach the classical language. The program stems from a popular three-month weekend workshop that drew keen interest from students and scholars. Students are also studying the Urdu version of "Hai katha sangram ki," the famous theme song from theMahabharat television series. Dr Ali Usman Qasmi, Director of the Gurmani Centre, pointed to Punjab University's vast, overlooked Sanskrit archives. He noted a key collection of palm-leaf manuscripts catalogued in the 1930s by scholar JCR Woolner, untouched by Pakistani academics since 1947 and used only by foreign researchers. "Training scholars locally will change that," he told The Tribune. LUMS plans future courses on the Mahabharata and Bhagavad Gita. "In 10-15 years, we could see Pakistan-based scholars of the Gita and the Mahabharata," Dr Qasmi said. Associate Professor Dr Shahid Rasheed from Forman Christian College drove the initiative. "Classical languages contain much wisdom for mankind. I started with learning Arabic and Persian, and then studied Sanskrit," he said. He learned via online platforms under Cambridge's Antonia Ruppel and Australia's McComas Taylor, mastering grammar in nearly a year and continuing studies. Dr Rasheed faces questions about his choice but counters: "Why should we not learn it? It is the binding language of the entire region. Sanskrit grammarian Panini's village was in this region. Much writing was done here during the Indus Valley Civilisation. Sanskrit is like a mountain – a cultural monument. We need to own it. It is ours too; it's not tied to any one particular religion." He said South Asia could move toward greater harmony if people made an effort to learn one another’s classical traditions, adding that "if more Hindus and Sikhs in India started learning Arabic, and more Muslims in Pakistan took up Sanskrit, it could be a fresh, hopeful start for South Asia, where languages become bridges instead of barriers."
