  • Anandamayi Ma - The Spiritual Force Behind Legal Service India

    "Your sorrow, your pain, your agony is indeed my sorrow. This body understands everything. You may want to leave this body. But this body won't leave you for a single day - it does not and never will leave you. One who has once been attracted to this body, even though he may make a thousand attempts, will not be able to efface or blot out the memory of this body. It will remain and persist in his memory for all time"

    About Section

    LegalServiceIndia.com was lanched in August 2000 with one belief — legal knowledge must be accessible, independent, and free from commercial influence.

    Early Vision & Mission

    At a time when Indian legal information was offline and digital legal scholarship was unheard of, I built an open platform allowing law students, researchers, and practitioners to publish and access legal material freely.

    Platform Development & Evolution

    For 25+ years, I have independently developed and maintained the platform across multiple internet eras — from HTML and ASP to PHP and modern WordPress architecture — without advertisements, sponsored content, or external funding.

    Era Technology Used Platform Nature
    2000–2005 HTML, ASP Static knowledge-sharing platform
    2006–2015 PHP Dynamic open legal publishing environment

    Guiding Principles
