क्या आप जानते हैं यमुना नदी की उत्त्पति कहां से हुई है, इससे जुड़े कुछ रोचक तथ्य

भारत की सबसे पवित्र नदियों में से एक यमुना नदी की उत्त्पत्ति और इससे जुड़ी कुछ रोचक बातों को जानने के लिए पढ़ें ये लेख।

यमुना नदी को जमुना नदी के नाम से भी जाना जाता है। भारत की राजधानी दिल्ली को चारों तरफ से घेरे हुए यमुना नदी न सिर्फ दिल्ली बल्कि पूरे देश के कोने-कोने में रची बसी है। यमुना नदी उत्तर भारत की प्रमुख नदी है यह मुख्यतः उत्तराखंड और उत्तर प्रदेश राज्यों में बहती है। गंगा नदी के साथ यह भी देश की सबसे पवित्र नदियों में से एक है।

यमुना का उद्गम स्थान पश्चिमी उत्तराखंड में यमुनोत्री के पास महान हिमालय में बंदर पंच मासिफ की ढलानों से होता है। यह हिमालय की तलहटी से होते हुए दक्षिण दिशा में तेजी से बहती है और उत्तराखंड से निकलकर, भारत-गंगा के मैदान में, उत्तर प्रदेश और हरियाणा राज्य के बीच की सीमा के साथ पश्चिम में बहती है। पूर्वी और पश्चिमी नहरों को भी यमुना के जल से सींचा जाता है। आइए जानें यमुना के उद्गम के साथ इससे जुड़ी कुछ रोचक बातों के बारे में।

कहां से होता है यमुना नदी का उद्गम

यमुना नदी का उद्गम स्थान यमुनोत्री से है। ऐसा कहा जाता है कि यमुनोत्री दर्शन के बिना तीर्थयात्रियों की यात्रा अधूरी होती है। समानांतर बहते हुए यह नदी प्रयाग में गंगा में मिल जाती है। हिमालय पर इसके उद्गम के पास एक चोटी का नाम बन्दरपुच्छ है। गढ़वाल क्षेत्र की यह सबसे बड़ी चो़टी है यह करीब 6500 मीटर ऊंची है। अपने उद्गम स्थान से आगे बढ़कर कई मील तक विशाल हिमगारों में यह नदी बहती हुई पहाड़ी ढलानों से अत्यन्त तीव्रतापूर्वक उतरती हुई इसकी धारा दूर तक बहती चली जाती है।

सबसे पवित्र नदियों में से एक है यमुना
यमुना नदी भारत की सबसे बड़ी सहायक नदी है, गंगा नदी बेसिन की दूसरी सबसे बड़ी सहायक नदी है। यमुना का उद्गम यमुनोत्री ग्लेशियर से 20955 फीट की ऊंचाई पर होता है, जो बंदरपंच में स्थित है, जो उत्तराखंड में निचले हिमालय की चोटी है। प्रयागराज में त्रिवेणी संगम में यमुना नदी गंगा नदी में विलीन हो जाती है, जो हिंदुओं के लिए एक पवित्र स्थान है। यमुना नदी का नाम भारतीय भाषा संस्कृत से लिया गया है, जिसका अर्थ है जुड़वां। हिंदू धार्मिक ग्रंथों ऋग्वेद और अथर्ववेद में यमुना नदी का उल्लेख मिलता है। यमुना नदी का संबंध हिंदू भगवान कृष्ण के जन्म से भी है।इसलिए यह भारत की सबसे पवित्र नदियों (भारत की 7 सबसे पवित्र नदियां ) में से एक मानी जाती है।

दिल्ली से लेकर आगरा तक बहती है यमुना

यमुना नदी दिल्ली से गुजरती है और यह आगरा शहर की खूबसूरती को भी बढ़ाती है। दिल्ली के दक्षिण में और अब पूरी तरह उत्तर प्रदेश के भीतर, यह मथुरा के पास दक्षिण-पूर्व की ओर मुड़ती है और आगरा, फिरोजाबाद और इटावा से होकर गुजरती है। इटावा के नीचे इसे कई दक्षिणी सहायक नदियां मिलती हैं, जिनमें से सबसे बड़ी चंबल, सिंध, बेतवा और केन नदियां हैं। इलाहाबाद के पास, लगभग 855 मील के एक कोर्स के बाद, यमुना नदी गंगा में मिलती है। दो नदियों का संगम हिंदुओं के लिए एक विशेष रूप से पवित्र स्थान माना जाता है और वार्षिक उत्सवों के साथ-साथ यहां कुंभ मेला भी लगता है, जो हर 12 साल में आयोजित किया जाता है और इसमें लाखों भक्त शामिल होते हैं।

यमुना नदी का श्री कृष्ण से है गहरा नाता
धार्मिक मान्यताओं की बात की जाए तो यमुना नदी से होकर ही कृष्ण के पिता वासुदेव ने नवजात श्री कृष्ण को एक टोकरी में रखकर मथुरा से गोकुल तक उनके पालक पिता नंदराज तक पहुंचाया था। एक धार्मिक मान्यता के अनुसार कृष्ण के बचपन के दिनों में यमुना नदी जहरीली थी, क्योंकि यमुना नदी के नीचे कालिया नाम का एक पांच सिर वाला सांप रहता था, जो नहीं चाहता था कि मनुष्य यमुना के पानी का सेवन करें। श्रीकृष्ण ने बचपन में ही जहरीली नदियों में छलांग लगा दी थी और कालिया सर्प से युद्ध कर युद्ध जीत लिया था। कृष्ण ने बाद में यमुना नदी के जहर को दूर करके इसके पानी को साफ़ और पीने योग्य बनाया था।

यमुना नदी में गर्म पानी का कुंड
यमुना नदी में यमुनोत्री में एक गर्म पानी का कुंड भी है। इस कुंड को सूर्य कुंड के नाम से भी जाना जाता है। माना जाता है कि यह कुंड सूर्य देवता सूर्य की संतान को समर्पित है। सूर्य कुंड में पानी इतना गर्म होता है कि लोग इसमें चाय और चावल भी आसानी से बना सकते हैं और इस पानी का उपयोग करके आलू उबालते हैं। सूर्य कुंड के पानी का तापमान लगभग 88 डिग्री सेल्सियस रहने का अनुमान है। सूर्य कुंड में तैयार चावल और आलू यमुनोत्री मंदिर में देवता को चढ़ाए जाते हैं।

क्यों प्रदूषित होती है यमुना नदी

यमुना नदी उत्तराखंड के एक ग्लेशियर से निकलती है। उत्तराखंड से यह पवित्र नदी हरियाणा, दिल्ली और उत्तर प्रदेश में बहती है। आंकड़े बताते हैं कि यह नदी अपने जन्म स्थान से शुद्ध होकर निकलती है और आगे आते-आते प्रदूषित हो जाती है क्योंकि यह दिल्ली-एनसीआर क्षेत्र में पहुंचती है जो इसके प्रदूष्ण का मुख्य कारण बनते हैं। हालांकि साल 1984 में, भारत सरकार ने यमुना को साफ करने का मिशन भी शुरू किया था लेकिन उसमें सफल नहीं हो सके। दिल्ली-एनसीआर में औद्योगीकरण और औद्योगिक कचरे को नदी में फेंकना प्रदूषण का प्रमुख कारण रहा है।

इस प्रकार विभिन्न तथ्यों को खुद में समेटे हुए यमुना नदी भारत की कई अन्य पवित्र नदियों में से एक है जो अपने उद्गम स्थान के साथ जहां से भी गुजरती है उन स्थानों को भी पवित्र बनाती है।

MarketSensex tanks 938 points: Key factors behind the market crash

Led by losses in index heavyweight Reliance Industries, private lenders and select IT stocks, benchmark indices extended their losses to the fourth day on Wednesday.
Weak global markets, a mixed set of Q3 earnings and selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) dented the domestic market mood in today’s session. Meanwhile, investors chose to book profits ahead of the Union Budget on Monday, February 1.
The BSE barometer Sensex plunged 938 points to 47,410 while its NSE counterpart Nifty slipped below the 14,000 mark to end at 13,968, down 271 points.

The broader market trend was mixed with Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty 500 indices down 1.58 per cent and 1.68 per cent, respectively, while Nifty Smallcap index added 0.15 per cent.
The volatility also remained high ahead of the monthly F&O expiry on Thursday, with India VIX rising 4.93 per cent to 24.39 level.
Here are the top factors behind the market crash today.
Weak global cues

Asian equities slipped on Wednesday as investors looked to the Federal Reserve’s guidance on its monetary policy while futures for US tech shares jumped after strong earnings from Microsoft. European stocks are expected to slip a tad, with EuroStoxx 50 futures down 0.3 per cent and FTSE futures shedding 0.4 per cent.
Global stocks are mostly treading water near record highs as US corporate earnings roll in. Meanwhile, new coronavirus variants that sparked fresh lockdowns and other restrictions are weighing on the market mood.

Frustration over vaccine distribution is also increasing. In a Facebook post last week, Italian Prime Minister described delays in consignments by Pfizer Inc. and AstraZeneca Plc as “unacceptable” while the UK’s health minister warned that vaccines may be less effective against new variants of the coronavirus.
That apart, investors are also seeking more clarity on the timeline for President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief plan. “Delay in US paycheques and overall correction in global markets are driving indices lower. Liquidity is a critical factor right now and any fall in liquidity will lead to a sharp fall in markets,” said Abhimanyu Sofat, Head of Research at IIFL Securities.
Budget blues

The Union Budget, set to be unveiled on February 1, is a highly anticipated affair as it comes on the heels of a pandemic that has altered India’s economic landscape. Amid this backdrop, investors have booked profits and are waiting on the sidelines.
The government needs to raise resources to help increase spends, but analysts at Bernstein believe equity markets will consider any form of tax increases negative. Those at Credit Suisse, on the other hand, caution against the limited spending room the government has.
“While the government appears to be willing to spend now, as it believes the growth multiplier would be higher in an economy without Covid-19 restrictions, Rs 4.2 trillion of extra spending may be difficult to execute. It may choose to be conservative on GDP growth assumptions, and also target a lower deficit, which would imply 13 per cent total expenditure growth. In this scenario, spending on residual heads could be 40% higher than in FY20, but the absolute increase a more reasonable Rs 2.5 trillion,” wrote Neelkanth Mishra, managing director, co-head of Asia Pacific Strategy and India equity strategist at Credit Suisse in a recent report co-authored with Abhay Khaitan and Prateek Singh.

Q3 earnings
In the December quarter earnings season, the companies have posted a robust performance but this was mostly pencilled in by the market. However, a performance by Reliance Industries disappointed investors, leading to a massive fall in the company’s shares and subsequently the benchmark indices. Going ahead, analysts are concerned about lower margins. “We are lowering in expectations for forthcoming quarters on margin front as they are expected to peak out in the current quarter,” said Sofat.
Valuation concerns
The market is overvalued from the perspective of PE multiple and market-cap to GDP ratio. The overvaluation is more than 50 percentage points higher than the historical average. “Profit-booking is normal, particularly when valuations are high, like now,” said Vijay Kumar, adding that such profit-taking is healthy and desirable.


For the third consecutive session on Monday, Nifty50 formed a Long Bear Candle. “The three sessions consecutive decline was formed in the market after the time span of four months. Hence, this pattern could be in-line with the reversal formation in the market at the highs. The last swing high of 14,753 of January 21 could be a reversal high for the near-term,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities in a note on January 25. Nifty on the weekly chart, formed a Doji and high wave-type candlestick pattern back to back in the last two weeks, Jasani said, adding that this market action could be considered as a beginning of major profit booking in the market from the high.

Bitcoin alternative: How to buy Ethereum in India? Here’s why its price, m-cap are up 200% in 3 months

Following Bitcoin and Ethereum, the other leading cryptocurrencies based on the market cap are Tether ($24.8 billion), Polkadot ($16.1 billion), XRP ($12.4 billion), Cardano ($11.2 billion), Chainlink ($9.7 billion), Litecoin ($9.3 billion), Bitcoin Cash ($8.2 billion), and Binance Coin ($6.4 billion).

Cryptocurrency king Bitcoin’s closest rival Ethereum has scaled up from $414 price with a market cap of $46.8 billion to $1,323 and $151.4 billion in market cap – a 219 per cent increase in price and 223 per cent jump in valuation in the past three months, according to the data from CoinMarketCap.

Despite being the biggest alternative to Bitcoin, Ethereum doesn’t even come close to bitcoin’s craze and market cap. However, it has managed to create significant buzz around investors. It has drawn the attention of blockchain stakeholders for its use beyond just processing crypto transactions. Ethereum has so far been used for enabling the deployment of smart contracts and decentralized apps to be created and operated without any fraud or interference from third parties, unlike Bitcoin.

The growing popularity, rising valuation, a growing number of exchanges offering Ethereum, and more have been among the reasons for investors flocking to it. Ethereum’s market cap has jumped over 200 per cent in the past three months.

Source: CoinMarketCap In order to buy Ethereum, one can register on one of the crypto exchanges such as BuyUCoin, CoinDCX, Unocoin, and more. Completing KYC and/or anti-money laundering norms are mandatory for Indian jurisdiction. Along with this, the Aadhaar-linked mobile number is also necessary.

One can further secure his/her Ethereum wallet with Google’s 2-step verification following which bank account details have to be added to begin trading Ethereum in India with INR currency. As a user, one can set his/her monthly or weekly, or even daily targets and decide the markets you would want to trade. Be certain of how much risk you are willing to take on every trade and based on it, figure out your risk-reward ratio.

Apart from INR, one can also buy Ethereum with credit and debit cards, UPI, or bank transfers, etc.Following Bitcoin and Ethereum, the other eight leading cryptocurrencies in the top-10 list based on the market cap are Tether ($24.8 billion), Polkadot ($16.1 billion), XRP ($12.4 billion), Cardano ($11.2 billion), Chainlink ($9.7 billion), Litecoin ($9.3 billion), Bitcoin Cash ($8.2 billion), and Binance Coin ($6.4 billion), as per CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin, at the time of filing this report, was trading at $32,305 with a jaw-dropping market cap of $606 billion. Posted by Technical Mechzone

Google says it will shut search engine in Australia if forced to pay for news

SYDNEY – Google said on Friday it will disable its search function in Australia if the government proceeds with a media code that would force it and Facebook Inc to pay local media companies for sharing their content. Australia is on course to pass laws that would make the Big Tech giants negotiate payments with local publishers and broadcasters for content.

If they can’t strike a deal, a government-appointed arbitrator will decide the price. The code’s arbitration model with bias criteria presents unmanageable financial and operational risk for Google,” Mel Silva, managing director for Australia and New Zealand, told a senate committee. “If this version of the code were to become law, it would give us no real choice but to stop making Google Search available in Australia Google’s comments drew sharp rebuke from Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison who said the country makes its rules for “things you can do in Australia.” “People who want to work with that in Australia, you’re very welcome. But we don’t respond to threats,” Morrison told reporters. The United States government this week asked Australia to scrap the proposed laws, which have broad political support, and suggested Australia should pursue a voluntary code instead. Australia announced the legislation last month after an investigation found Alphabet Inc-owned Google and social media giant Facebook held too much market power in the media industry, a situation it said posed a potential threat to a well-functioning democracy. Google’s threat to limit its services in Australia came just hours after the internet giant reached a content-payment deal with some French news publishers. Google’s testimony “is part of a pattern of threatening behaviour that is chilling for anyone who values our democracy,” said Peter Lewis, director of the Australia Institute’s Centre for Responsible Technology.

Astrosat satellite spots ‘dinosaurs of the universe’ globular star cluster:

(The team of scientists found about 34 UV-bright stars were found to be members of the globular cluster.)

Astronomers, with the help of India’s first multi-wavelength space satellite Astrosat, have spotted a massive intriguing globular cluster in the Milky Way galaxy with rare hot UV-bright stars in it, the Department of Science and Technology said on Thursday. These stars whose inner core is almost exposed, making them very hot, exist in the late stages of evolution of a Sun-like star.

It is not clear how these stars end their lives as not many of them are detected in these fast-evolving phases, making their study crucial. The old globular clusters referred to as dinosaurs of the universe, present excellent laboratories where astronomers can understand how stars evolve through various phases between their birth and death with spectacular ultraviolet images of the cluster from Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) on board. Astrosat satellite spots dinosaurs of the universe globular star cluster: Dept of Sci-technical The old globular clusters present excellent laboratories where astronomers can understand how stars evolve through various phases between their birth and death.

Image credit: Wikipedia/Richard Hook, ESO With AstroSat, astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, an institute of the Department of Science and Technology, distinguished the hot UV-bright stars from the relatively cooler red giant and main-sequence stars which appear dim in these images.

The findings of this study have been accepted for publication in ‘The Astrophysical Journal’. The team of scientists comprising Deepthi S Prabhu, Annapurni Subramaniam and Snehalata Sahu from IIA combined the UVIT data with observations made using other space missions such as the Hubble space telescope and the Gaia telescope along with ground-based optical observations were also used. About 34 UV-bright stars were found to be members of the globular cluster.

From the data, the team derived the properties of these stars such as their surface temperatures, luminosities and radii. “One of the UV-bright stars was found to be about 3,000 times brighter than the Sun with a surface temperature of about 1,00,000 kelvin,” Subramaniam said.

Buying Bitcoin is the most crowded trade; reminiscent of the 2018 crash

Experts are warning of a bubble building up in Bitcoins, especially considering the sudden spike in volatility and increasing institutional participation The latest global fund manager survey published by BofA Securities showed that buying Bitcoin is being viewed as the most “crowded trade”.

After Bitcoin’s massive rally in recent months, it is hardly surprising that this cryptocurrency is fast regaining its lost glory. From a low of $4,000 in mid-March last year, the price of the world’s first and most famous cryptocurrency has risen by nearly 900%.

Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $34,750. Long Bitcoin jumps to top with 36% of fund manager survey investors saying it is the most “crowded trade” dethroning “Long tech” for the first time since October 2019,” said the survey report. “Investors who have been tracking Bitcoins in the past would recollect that a similar rally in 2017 was followed by a crash. In 2017, Bitcoin rallied from the low of around $790 to a peak of $1,9041 in December. Interestingly, in the December 2017 BofA survey, Bitcoin topped the list of most crowded trades.

In 2018, it crashed by 74%. Even now, many experts have been warning of a bubble building up in Bitcoins, especially considering the sudden spike in volatility and increasing institutional participation. “Most cryptocurrencies are notoriously volatile, and the increase in institutional participation may be making things worse.

While demand would increase and volatility ease should corporations hold Bitcoin for business purposes, the opposite is true when institutions gain exposure for speculative purposes. Empirical evidence from other asset classes suggests that higher participation by institutional investors could increase volatility due to their more opportunistic investment approach,” Michael Bolliger, chief investment officer, global emerging markets, UBS Switzerland AG said in a report on 14 January.

Ultimately time will tell what holds true for Bitcoin investors but those in the bullish camp see further upside. For instance, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co, Bitcoin has the potential to reach $146,000 in the long term as it competes with gold as an asset class. Posted by Technical Mechzone

Quantum cryptography network spans 4600 km in China

Quantum lightQuantum light: a 2000::km fibre optic network enables quantum key cryptography between four cities in China.

A network for quantum key distribution (QKD) spanning thousands of kilometres has been built in China. It links four quantum metropolitan area networks (QMANs) in cities in eastern China with a remote location in the far west of the country.

The system comprises a 2000 km fibre optic link between the cities of Shanghai, Hefei, Jinan and Beijing and a satellite link spanning 2600 km between two observatories – one east of Beijing and the other just a few hundred kilometres from China’s border with Kazakhstan.The network was built by Jian-Wei Pan at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei along with colleagues in academia and industry.

QKD uses the principles of quantum mechanics to allow two parties to share a secret cryptography key. A crucial feature of QKD is that the two parties can tell if an eavesdropper has intercepted the key while it is being shared. Once the secrecy of the key is established it can be used to exchange encrypted messages using a conventional telecoms network.Quantum states of photonsIn standard QKD implementations, information is encoded in the quantum states of photons – which are exchanged between the two parties. Photons are used because they can travel several hundred kilometres in optical fibres before their quantum information is lost.

Photons can also carry quantum information between ground stations and satellites, allowing QKD to be performed between locations thousands of kilometres apart.The Chinese network serves about 150 users and comprises more than 700 fibre links and two high-speed satellite-to-ground free-space links – all of which support QKD transmission. The fibre links are supported by 32 “trusted relay nodes” that are capable of forwarding quantum information. The individual QMANS contain trusted relay nodes as well as user nodes and optical switches.

The Jinan QMAN is the largest, containing 50 user nodes supporting 95 users.The satellite portion of the network makes use of the Micius quantum communications satellite, which was launched by China in 2016. Just one year later, Micius was used to make a QKD connection between Beijing and Vienna, which are separated by 7400 km. Technical Information , Technology,Inventory,Technical Mechzone

5am, the Beach

As long as I was on the path I walked hard, but when I came to the black beach I had to run. For the tide was now nearly flowed; and to get through with my powder dry between the surf and the steep hill, took all the quickness I possessed. As it was, even, the wash caught me to the knees, and I came near falling on a stone. All this time the hurry I was in, and the free air and smell of the sea, kept my spirits lively; but when I was once in the bush and began to climb the path I took it easier.

The fearsomeness of the wood had been a good bit rubbed off for me by Master Case’s banjo-strings and graven images, yet I thought it was a dreary walk, and guessed, when the disciples went up there, they must be badly scared. The light of the lantern, striking among all these trunks and forked branches and twisted rope-ends of lianas, made the whole place, or all that you could see of it, a kind of a puzzle of turning shadows. They came to meet you, solid and quick like giants, and then span off and vanished; they hove up over your head like clubs, and flew away into the night like birds. The floor of the bush glimmered with dead wood, the way the match-box used to shine after you had struck a lucifer. Big, cold drops fell on me from the branches overhead like sweat. There was no wind to mention; only a little icy breath of a land-breeze that stirred nothing; and the harps were silent.
