Mahakumbh 2025: Hands raised for 16 years and swinging for six years – the Hathayoga of saints draws devotees&#39; attention

Maha kumbh 2025: The ongoing Maha kumbh in Prayagraj is witnessing saints and ascetics in various forms. Devotees, after taking a dip in the Sangam, are visiting the saints&#8217; camps to seek their blessings and witness their unique practices. A large number of devotees are coming to see the saints practising Hatha Yoga. Some perform it for world peace, while others for physical and mental balance. The Patrika team learned about the Hatha Yoga practices of some of these saints and ascetics:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hands Raised for 16 Years</h2>



In the Juna Akhara, Karnapuri Maharaj has kept his hands raised for 16 years. When asked about the reason, Karnapuri Maharaj said he is doing this for world peace. He wants to establish Ram Rajya in the world and for everyone to live with love and brotherhood. He will end his Hatha Yoga practice once this is achieved.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Six Years on a Swing</h2>



Rupeshpuri Maharaj has been living on a swing for six years. He rests on the swing itself. He explained that when he goes for the royal bath (Shahi Snan), he performs it while standing. He said he has been practising Hatha Yoga for 12 years and can extend it to 24 years or even for life.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wearing 21 kg of Rudraksha</h2>



Vashistha Giri Maharaj, seen wearing 21 kg of Rudraksha, is also present at the Mahakumbh. Vashistha Giri, who is engrossed in the worship of Lord Shiva, said that he started wearing Rudraksha in 2010 after receiving Guru Diksha. Initially, their weight was less, but it gradually increased.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Devotees are also reaching these ascetics</h2>



—Ramesh Manjhi, popularly known as Kantewala Baba, has been lying on thorns for about 50 years. —Amarjeet, a resident of Sonbhadra district, Uttar Pradesh, has been growing barley on his head since 2021. —Tarzan Baba from Madhya Pradesh has been living in this car for 35 years.

The Rajasthan section of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is expected to be completed this year. 373 km of this expressway passes through Rajasthan, with approximately 35 km of work remaining. Authorities claim this remaining work will be finished by September. Upon completion, the travel time between Kota and Delhi will be reduced to just four hours.



According to NHAI officials, around 27 km of work between Sawai Madhopur-Dausa-Bundi is expected to be completed before April. Meanwhile, the construction of a tunnel near Kota is also expected to be completed by September. While the project was initially slated for completion in 2024, delays have been caused by difficulties encountered during tunnel construction and other issues.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Starting with eight lanes, expandable to twelve</h2>



Currently, the expressway has eight lanes. However, it is designed to be expandable to twelve lanes in the future to accommodate increasing traffic. The NHAI has acquired land in a manner that will eliminate the need for further land acquisition if lane expansion becomes necessary. Currently, the maximum speed limit for light vehicles is 120 kmph, which may be increased to 140 kmph in the future.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Traffic first started on the Sohna-Dausa section</h2>



Traffic on the expressway first commenced on the section between Sohna and Bhandarej near Dausa. This section was inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi. Since then, work has been progressing rapidly.



The NHAI aims to complete the project by the end of this year or in the first quarter of next year, and subsequently open it to traffic. The Delhi-Mumbai distance via this expressway will be approximately 1386 km, with a claimed travel time of twelve hours.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jaipur-Bandikui work also expected to be completed by March</h2>



A four-lane expressway is also under construction to connect this expressway to Jaipur via Bandikui. This work is expected to be completed by March.

Sanchar Saathi: The Department of Telecommunications launched the &#8216;Sanchar Saathi&#8217; mobile app on Friday to curb fraudulent and deceptive calls. A website version was launched earlier. The mobile app will make it easier for people to directly report any suspicious information about fraudulent activity from their mobile phone call logs and easily identify such numbers.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Identifying Fraudulent Numbers</h2>



Launching the Sanchar Saathi mobile app, Union Minister of Communications Jyotiraditya Scindia stated that the app will help people identify mobile numbers issued in their name. Scindia also launched two other initiatives of the Department of Telecommunications: the National Broadband Mission 2.0 (NBM) and &#8216;intra-circle roaming&#8217; on 4G mobile sites funded by the &#8216;Digital Bharat Nidhi&#8217;.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Number of Broadband Subscribers in India Increases to 94 Crore</h2>



Jyotiraditya Scindia stated that the number of broadband subscribers in the country has increased to 94 crore. Over 53 crore people are also connected to electronic banking. Considering this vast network, NBM-2 has been launched. He said that by 2030, optical fibre services will be extended to 2.70 villages to expand facilities in rural areas. Similarly, people will also benefit from the intra-circle roaming facility.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Features of Sanchar Saathi</h2>



Through this app, mobile users can find out if fraudulent connections have been obtained in their name and can also block them. Additionally, users&#8217; phones can be tracked. This allows you to report any kind of scam or fraud. The website version of Sanchar Saathi was launched by the Department of Telecommunications in 2023 and proved quite effective against fraudulent phone calls.

CG Train Cancelled: Tata-Bilaspur Express Canceled for 15 Days

CG Train Cancelled: Significant infrastructure work requiring a power block between Ranchi and Tori on the South Eastern Railway&#8217;s Ranchi division in Raigarh district, Chhattisgarh, has led to the cancellation of several trains running through the South East Central Railway. Some trains will be diverted. Consequently, the Bilaspur-Tatanagar Express from Bilaspur will be cancelled from 19 January to 2 February.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CG Train Cancelled: Tata-Bilaspur Express Cancelled</h2>



CG Train Cancelled: This will cause further inconvenience to passengers. Many long-distance passenger trains are already running late due to cold waves and other reasons. This is causing difficulties for passengers. The cancellation of trains from the Bilaspur zone will add to these difficulties. 



Among the cancelled trains is train number 18114, the Bilaspur-Tatanagar Express, which will be cancelled from 19 January to 1 February. Similarly, train number 18113, the Tatanagar-Bilaspur Express, will be cancelled from 20 January to 2 February.



Furthermore, train number 13525, the Malda Town-Surat Express departing from Malda Town on 25 January, will be diverted via Kotshila-Muri-Chandil-Sini-Rourkela. Similarly, train number 07052, the Raxaul-Secunderabad Express departing from Raxaul on 21 and 28 January, will be diverted via Kotshila-Muri-Chandil-Sini-Rourkela. Passengers travelling on these trains will face inconvenience.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Local Passengers to Face Inconvenience</h2>



According to passengers, the Tatanagar Express running between Bilaspur and Tatanagar carries a large number of local passengers. This cancellation will cause significant hardship for local commuters. If the railway department had operated this train between Bilaspur and Jharsuguda instead of cancelling it, it would have provided relief to local passengers. However, the 15-day cancellation will cause the most inconvenience to passengers from smaller stations. These trains typically carry passengers engaged in business in villages. They will now have to travel by road, incurring additional financial burden.

Among the cancelled trains is train number 18114, the Bilaspur-Tatanagar Express, which will be cancelled from 19 January to 1 February. Similarly, train number 18113, the Tatanagar-Bilaspur Express, will be cancelled from 20 January to 2 February.

Gold-Silver Price: Gold and silver prices have once again increased, causing concern for buyers. This business week has seen a continuous rise in the prices of both gold and silver. On Monday, the price of 24-carat gold in the Jaipur Sarafa Bazaar was ₹80,000 per 10 grams, which increased to ₹81,400 by Friday. However, silver hasn&#8217;t shown such a sharp increase. On Friday, silver fell by ₹300, settling at ₹93,300 per kilogram.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gold Price at ₹81,000 per 10 grams on 17 January</h2>



Since 1 January, the price of gold has been steadily increasing. On 31 December, standard gold was around ₹78,000 per 10 grams, which rose to over ₹81,000 by 17 January. It is noteworthy that during Diwali, gold crossed its all-time high price of ₹82,000 per 10 grams.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reasons for the Rise</h2>



Besides the strengthening dollar and high crude oil prices internationally, there has been a decline in the rupee due to foreign capital outflow. The rupee weakened by 16 paise against the dollar. This has also contributed to the strengthening of gold prices. Demand for gold and silver in local markets has also boosted prices.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What the Experts Say</h2>



According to experts, the global economic uncertainty surrounding Donald Trump&#8217;s policies and increased concerns about inflation are supporting the price of this precious metal as a &#8216;hedge&#8217;. Purchases by central banks in countries like China and India have also boosted investor enthusiasm for gold.

BCCI Imposes Strict New Rules, Banning Player Activities

BCCI Introduces Disciplinary Guidelines: Following India&#8217;s disappointing performance in the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) against Australia and the preceding home Test series against New Zealand, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has swung into action. This defeat prompted a review meeting involving coach Gautam Gambhir, chief selector Ajit Agarkar, and captain Rohit Sharma. Simultaneously, the board has implemented significant changes to player welfare regulations.



Taking the defeat seriously, the board has established stricter rules for players. The BCCI has made it clear that any player or staff member failing to comply will face strict action. These stringent regulations could cause increased difficulties for star players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Furthermore, the BCCI has reiterated the importance of playing domestic cricket. Players outside the national team are now required to participate in domestic matches, with selection for the national team to be based on domestic performance.



Restrictions on Family During Overseas Tours – Players will no longer be able to bring their families on extended overseas tours. The new rules stipulate that if a player is on tour for 45 days, their spouse and children under 18 can accompany them for two weeks per series. During this time, the BCCI will only cover their accommodation expenses; other costs must be borne by the player. Players must also inform the coach and captain beforehand. Family members or other individuals can only join the player with their permission. The coach, captain, and GM Operations will be held accountable for any rule violations.



No Family Travel During Matches and Practice – Players must now travel only with the team for matches and practice sessions. The BCCI believes this will foster team unity. If a player&#8217;s family needs to travel with them for any reason, permission must be obtained from coach Gautam Gambhir and selector Ajit Agarkar. Violations will result in strict penalties. Virat Kohli was frequently seen travelling with his family during the Australia tour.



Restrictions on Personal Staff – No team member can bring personal staff, including personal managers, chefs, assistants, and security personnel, on tours or during series. Recently, there was controversy surrounding coach Gautam Gambhir&#8217;s personal assistant. Previously, players like Hardik Pandya had also been in the news for bringing personal chefs.



BCCI Will No Longer Bear Players&#8217; &#8216;Burden&#8217; – According to the new baggage policy, players will not be reimbursed for items carried within the board&#8217;s stipulated guidelines. However, players will have to pay for any excess baggage themselves.



For Tours Exceeding 30 Days – Players – 5 pieces (3 suitcases + 2 kit bags) or 150 kilograms Support Staff – 2 pieces (2 large + 1 small suitcase) or 80 kilograms



For Tours Under 30 Days – Players – 4 pieces (2 suitcases + 2 kit bags) or 120 kilograms Support Staff – 2 pieces (2 suitcases) or 60 kilograms



Domestic Series Players – 4 pieces (2 suitcases + 2 kit bags) or 120 kilograms Support Staff – 2 pieces (2 suitcases) or 60 kilograms



Mandatory Domestic Cricket – Star Indian players have avoided playing domestic cricket, including prominent names like Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, and Rohit Sharma. These players are primarily available for Team India and the Indian Premier League. Kohli and Sharma&#8217;s international form is also a concern. The BCCI wants all senior players to participate in domestic cricket. This has been made mandatory, and player selection for the Indian team will be based on this participation.



Equipment Must Be Sent to Centre of Excellence – Players are required to coordinate with team management regarding equipment and personal belongings sent to the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. Any extra costs incurred due to separate shipments will be borne by the player. Some senior players send their equipment or kits to the NCA before arriving. The Centre of Excellence then assumes responsibility for their upkeep, for which players do not pay, but this will no longer be the case.



Mandatory Attendance at Practice Sessions – Players will no longer be excused from practice sessions. Star players often cite personal reasons for missing extended practice sessions. No player can leave practice sessions early. Exemptions will be determined based on workload management.



Ban on Ad Shoots During Series – The BCCI has banned players from participating in personal photoshoots or ad shoots during series or tours. No player can endorse products during this time. The board made this decision to prevent distractions.



Mandatory Participation in BCCI Official Shoots and Functions – Players must participate in all official BCCI shoots, promotions, and other programs. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action deemed appropriate by the BCCI.



Players Cannot Return Home Early After Series – All players must remain with the team until the end of the tour. Even if a series ends early, players must stay with the team. No player can return home early. Sometimes, players leave for home or holidays when a series ends early. This decision is in the interest of team bonding.



BCCI Reserves the Right to Disciplinary Action – The BCCI reserves the right to take disciplinary action against any player, including banning them from participating in all tournaments organised by the BCCI, including the IPL. Further action may include deductions from central contracts, IPL retainers, or match fees.

Delhi Assembly Election: The BJP and Congress parties are attempting to convince the public that Arvind Kejriwal cannot become the Chief Minister again. They are citing the bail conditions imposed by the Supreme Court. Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit first made this claim, and BJP leader Pravesh Verma reiterated it on Thursday. Notably, both these leaders are contesting against Kejriwal from the New Delhi constituency.



The former Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party convenor, Arvind Kejriwal, is currently out on bail in connection with the liquor scam. The Supreme Court imposed certain conditions on his bail. BJP and Congress leaders are arguing that these conditions prevent Kejriwal from holding the Chief Minister&#8217;s office, signing files, or even chairing official meetings. Therefore, they claim, even if he wins, he cannot become CM.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Attempt to Weaken the Kejriwal Factor</h2>



In Delhi, the Aam Aadmi Party&#8217;s success has largely been attributed to Arvind Kejriwal&#8217;s charisma. As a strategic move, the BJP and Congress are publicising the bail conditions to convey that even if the AAP wins, Kejriwal will not be the Chief Minister. These parties believe that voters who solely support Kejriwal as their Chief Minister might be swayed by this uncertainty.



<a href="https://www.patrika.com/en/political-news/delhi-election-poster-war-ignites-political-row-19304211" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.patrika.com/en/political-news/delhi-election-poster-war-ignites-political-row-19304211" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read this too &#8211; Delhi Election: Poster War Ignites Political Row</a>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Truth Behind the Claims</h2>



The Supreme Court indeed imposed certain conditions on Kejriwal&#8217;s bail, but it did not impose any restriction on him becoming the Chief Minister. The Supreme Court stated that it could not order Kejriwal to resign or not resign from the Chief Minister&#8217;s post. The court reasoned that it was uncertain whether a court could order an elected leader to resign or refrain from functioning as CM or Minister. The court left the final decision to Arvind Kejriwal. However, after being released on bail, Kejriwal stepped down as Chief Minister and handed over the reins to Atishi.
