Bengaluru probably has more engineers per square kilometer than anywhere else in India. Yet I realized that I knew embarrassingly little about the river that literally should supply, my water. 😅

@prachyam7 Rigveda is full of hymns praising Indra etc., seeking material blessings. Other Vedas center on elaborate Yagyas, incl. animal sacrifice—not a side detail, but core practice. Jainism holds moksha comes only from shedding your own karma, no ritual. How is that not a contradiction?
I've recited the Navkar Mantra since childhood — yet only recently understood a distinction most of us blur without noticing: the difference between an Arihant and a Siddha. Raises a question I hadn't considered before: are the 24 Tirthankaras even "Arihants" anymore?

Hindu King Krishnaraja Wadiyar was the pioneer of India's development.
He pushed India towards modern development.
The prosperity of Bangalore's software sector and lives of millions today is indebted to his vision.
