🔆LINGYAATs:
✅ founded by Basava in the 12th century.
✅Lingayat, also called Virashaiva, member of a Hindu sect with a wide following in southern India that worships Shiva as the only deity.
✅The followers take their name (“lingam-wearers”) from the small representations of a lingam, a votary object symbolizing Shiva.
✅ both the men and the women always wear hanging by a cord around their necks, in place of the sacred thread worn by most upper-caste Hindu men.
▪️Its Doctrine and Philosophy:
✅ Philosophically, their qualified monism and their conception of bhakti (devotion) as an intuitive and loving knowledge of God show the influence of the 11th–12th-century thinker Ramanuja.
✅Strongly opposed Brahmanical Hinduism.
✅ strongly anti-Brahmanical and opposed to worship of any image other than the lingam.
🔸 Against Caste System.
🔸 Rejected Authority of Vedas.
🔸 Rejected Transmigration of soul.
🔸 It was also kind of social reform movement and supported widow remarriage and opposed child marriage.

🔆ISRO to boost NavIC, widen user base of location system
In News:
✅On the side-lines of the India Space Congress, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) recently revealed its plans to expand the reach of NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation) beyond India and not to a limited territory around India.
✅ISRO is also working on a series of NavIC improvements to encourage more people to install and use it.
✅NavIC, also known as the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), is an independent stand-alone indigenous navigation satellite system developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
✅NAVIC was approved in 2006 and was expected to be completed by 2011, but only become operational in 2018.
✅NavIC, which consists of 7 satellites, covering the whole of India's landmass and up to 1,500 km from its boundaries, is conceived with the aim of removing dependence on foreign satellite systems for navigation, particularly for "strategic sectors.".

🔆The Largest Lakes (surface area) by Continent
✅Australia – Lake Eyre (salt lake)
✅Africa – Lake Victoria, also the third-largest freshwater lake on Earth. It is one of the Great Lakes of Africa.
✅Antarctica – Lake Vostok (subglacial)
✅Asia – Lake Baikal (if the Caspian Sea is considered a lake, it is the largest in Eurasia, but is divided between the two geographic continents)
✅Europe – Lake Ladoga, followed by Lake Onega, both located in northwestern Russia.
✅North America – Lake Superior.
✅South America – Lake Titicaca, which is also the highest navigable body of water on Earth at 3,812 metres above sea level. The much larger Lake Maracaibo is a contiguous body of water with the sea, so it is ignored. ,
