Dear Readers,

In this issue, we have brought to you two major events of the Art of Living Foundation. The first event was a mass chanting in Pune, in which thousands of people created history by chanting the Ganapati Atharvashirsha mantra together. The second event was about the existing problem of drugs in India. The Art of Living Foundation, in collaboration with the Savitribai Phule Pune University, launched a mega Drug-Free India campaign, wherein more than 1.25 lakh youth took a pledge not to consume drugs. Both events took place in the presence of spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravishankar.

Meanwhile, a smartphone-related record was created in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh, when a new smartphone model was unboxed inside a speeding sports car, which was performing some of the fastest drifts at the National Automotive Test Tracks (NATRAX). The car was driven by INRC and APRC champion Gaurav Gill.

A 24-hour non-stop singing marathon held at a remote resort in Mumbai in memory of Mohammed Rafi; a Tribal Warli painting on a long wall by a team of 100 women in Aurangabad; preparation of 4000 kg millet dish by celebrity Chef Vishnu Manohar in Nashik; and the record of cooking 5100 kg of khichdi in a religious event are some of the other exciting stories in this issue.

Many record-makers may inspire you to try something different and set an amazing record.

Mass recital of Ganpati Mantra

The record for the maximum number of people reciting the Ganesh Atharvashirsha mantra at a single venue was set by, The Art of Living Foundation (ALF) of Pune, Maharashtra. A total of 54,560 people from different age groups came together and recited the Ganesh Atharvashirsha mantra at the Suryakant Kakde Farms, Kothrud, Pune. The Ganapati Atharvashirsha is a sacred knowledge from Upanishad, that asserts that Lord Ganesha is the ultimate reality. This is part of the Atharvaveda and it is also referred to as the Ganapati Upanishad. The attempt earned a place in the India Book of Records and Asia Book of Records simultaneously.

The Art of Living Foundation, founded by spiritual Guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, organised the record-setting programme at 6.30 pm at Suryakant Kakade Farm, Kothrud on February 3. The majority of the participants, mostly the devotees of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, had booked their participation in advance. These devotees were from Pune, Mumbai, Kolhapur, Solapur, Sangali, Satara, Sydney, Australia, and the United States of America. Every participant was given an e-certificate of the record. The entries were invited to www.gurudevinpune.in.

In the Satsang, over 112 methods of meditation and tantra were explained in Vigyan Bhairav along with Maha Satsang. The Art of Living Foundation organised two sessions of Vigyan

The record for the maximum number of people reciting the Ganesh Atharvashirsha at a single venue was set by The Art of Living Foundation of Pune, Maharashtra, wherein a total of 54,560 people from different age groups recited the mantra.

Bhairav. The morning session was from 10.30 am to 1 pm, while the evening session took place from 4 pm to 6.30 pm at SP College ground on February 5, 2023. During these sessions, the Shiva-Parvati Samvad (A conversation between Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati) was explained. The organising team included Rajay Shastare, Shekhar Mundada, Dr Rajesh Dhopeshwarkar, Balvindersingh Chandok, and Dheeraj Agarwal -- the eminent members of Art of Living, Maharashtra.

Ganesh Atharvashirsha, a Sanskrit text, is dedicated to Lord Ganesha, a deity of knowledge, wisdom, and good fortune. Ganesh Atharvashirsha is one of the ways to gain knowledge about philosophy. The meaning of 'Atharv' is peaceful, to become happy and Atharvashirsha is a discourse on how to become peaceful, happy, and content. Ganesh Atharvashirsha is a part of the Atharvaveda and it is also referred to as the Ganapati Upanishad.

The Art Of Living's Triveni Ashram is located at Markal in Pune. Blessed with natural beauty and landscape that touches the river Bheema on one side and the river Indrayani on the other, the Ashram has a spectacular view. Situated at a distance of about 10 Km from Alandi, the Ashram is at a walking distance from the holy place Sangameshwar- a confluence of three pious rivers- Bhima, Bhama, and Indrayani. Thus, the name Triveni for the Ashram was a natural choice. The Ashram came into being in January 2008 with the hard work, contribution, and selfless service of the ever-smiling Art of Living volunteers. Ever since several thousand people have visited the place to meditate, serve and rediscover themselves and the joy in their lives. The Ashram is spread over 32 acres of land and presently has the capacity to accommodate more than 300 people. It houses two Meditation Halls, an open amphitheatre, an equipped kitchen, vegetable farm land, and a Gau-Shala (cow shed).

Pledge for Drug-Free India

The record for the maximum number of people participating in a synchronous pledge for drug-free India at a single venue was set by The Art of Living Foundation of Pune, Maharashtra in collaboration with Savitribai Phule Pune University. A total of 1,26,613 students from all the prominent institutes of the city along with the Art of Living Foundation came together and took the pledge for Drug-Free India at the Suryakant Kakde Farms, Kothrud, Pune, on February 4, 2023. The attempt created a record under the India Book of Records and Asia Book of Records simultaneously.

In a bid to prevent addiction and mental stress among the youth, the Art of Living Foundation in association with the

Pune University, Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), and other statutory and educational institutions organised the EduYouthMeet in Pune on February 4 in which over 1 lakh students from more than 800 colleges were expected to participate. Prominent educational institutions such as College of Engineering Pune (COEP) Technological University, Symbiosis University, Bharati Vidyapeeth University, Maharashtra Education Society (MES) Group of Institutions, Progressive Education Society, and Maharshi Karve Stri Shikshan Sanstha, etc. were also involved in organising the event. The central theme of the EduYouthMeet is the new education policy (NEP) 2020, human values and a drug-free India.

Around 15 years ago, the Art of Living (AOL) started the fight against drugs across the world. Their holistic interventions have given more than 25,000 addicts a second chance to lead normal lives. The organisation began the biggest rebellion against drugs with a pledge to a Drug-Free India. The nationwide movement was flagged off in Punjab and Haryana with thousands of people taking a pledge with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, actor Sanjay Dutt, rapper Badshah, and comedian Kapil Sharma. The pledge included affirmations like ‘Na Karenge Na Karne Denge’ and ‘No Drugs - Not for me, Not for others’. The speakers said, “Drugs pose the risk of destroying emotional stability, health, and relationships of an entire generation. We want to reverse the risk. We want to make it more likely for that college kid to join the gym than to smoke crack, more likely for him to set and pursue meaningful goals rather than worry about where his next hit is coming from.”

Students who attended the EduYouthMeet were given a digital certificate accredited by the heads of the participating educational groups and statutory bodies. The highlight of the EduYouthMeet was an interactive session with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in which practical techniques to handle exam stress and anxiety were also taught. Virendra Rajput, a PG Diploma in Marketing (PGDM) student, said, “I was privileged to

be a part of the EduYouthMeet addressed by Gurudev Shri Shri Ravishankar. The grand event was hosted by Savitribai Phule Pune University and the top educational institutions of Pune, in association with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) and the Art of Living Foundations. It was a lifetime experience as over one lakh youth and educators came together to strengthen human values and spread the message of ‘Sanga Chhadhwam’ (May you move in harmony). I would like to thank the Ramachandran International Institute of Management (RIIM Pune) for granting me this opportunity of attending such a great event.”

Preparing the Khichdi Mahaprasad

Shiv Baraat Aayojan Evam Jankalyan Samiti Rewa of Madhya Pradesh has entered into the Asia Book of Records for preparing and serving the maximum quantity of ‘Khichdi’. On the occasion of Maha Shivratri, the social organisation prepared 5100 kg Khichdi, mainly containing rice, beans, vegetables, water, salt, spices, and ghee at Panchmatha Aashram, Rewa on February 18, 2023. The purpose of making Khichdi as Mahaprasad was to promote it as a National Dish of India.

The Panchmatha Ashram, situated on the banks of the Behar river in Rewa, is important in terms of spirituality and tourism as well. Due to the peace and beauty of this place, Adi Shankaracharya rested there during his travel to Omkareshwar, Kashi, and Prayag. The Madhya Pradesh government had taken out the Ekatm Yatra from this place in the year 2017 to take forward the Ekatm Darshan of Adi Shankaracharya. Since it is located between Amarkantak and Prayag, saints and sages used to take a rest at the Ashram in ancient times. Shankaracharya gave this place the status of the fifth Math. Since then it was called Panchmatha. The place was also visited by Shankaracharya

Jayendra Saraswati of Kanchikamkoti, his successor Vijayendra, Maharaja Martand Singh, former CM Arjun Singh and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. A mango tree planted by Mrs Gandhi is still there.

Dr Antim Kumar Jain, Adjudicator of the Asia Book of Records, announced the record. He also told the media present on the occasion that the previous record of making such Khichdi was of 3100 kg only. On this occasion, Manish Kumar Gupta, Chairman of the Shiv Baraat Aayojan Evam Jankalyan Samiti Rewa, said, “We are constantly demanding to make Khichdi a national

dish of India. A big pot was needed to cook such a large quantity of khichdi. Therefore, an 1100 kg heavy pot was brought from Kanpur for this purpose. It was put on the furnace with the help of a crane. We had already expected to create a record, but due to a lack of information about the rice made in Baba Baijnath Dham, there were doubts in our minds. I am happy that the record has been set now. The mahaprasad of Khichdi was distributed to 51,000 people who took part in the Shiv Baraat.”

Khichdi, a salty porridge, is normally made of rice and lentils (daal) with many variations like the Bajra and Mung daal Khichri. Sabudana Khichri is a popular food during fasts. The word Khichdi is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘khicca’, a dish of rice and legumes. The Greek king Seleucus mentioned that rice with pulses is very popular among people of the Indian subcontinent. Strabo also notes that Indian food mainly consisted of rice porridge and a beverage made of rice, presently called arak. The Moroccan traveller Ibn Battuta mentions Khichdi as a dish in India composed of rice and mung beans, during his stay around 1350. Khichdi is described in the writings of Afanasiy Nikitin, a Russian adventurer who travelled to the Indian subcontinent in the 15th century. It was very popular with the Mughals, especially Jahangir.

Unboxing with the fastest drift

His achievements include being the first Indian driver to win the FIA Asia-Pacific Rally Championship (APRC ) three times in 2013, 2016, and 2018. He also holds the record for the most number of Championship wins for the Indian National Rally Championship (INRC), with 7 titles in the four-wheelers rally category. He is a WRC2 Driver with Team JK Tyre and 3 times Indian Racing Champion.

The record for 'smartphone unboxed while performing the fastest drift in a sports car' was set by Power Drift Studios in association with OnePlus India. Lamborghini Huracan Spyder was driven at a speed of 205.47 kmph and drifted while the all-new OnePlus 11 was unboxed inside the car at the National Automotive Test Tracks (NATRAX) in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh on February 4, 2023. Thus earning a well deserved spot into the prestigious India Book of Records (IBR).

INRC and APRC Champion Gaurav Gill, who drove and drifted the car, is a professional rally driver and an Indian motorsports athlete. He is the first sportsperson from motorsports to win the coveted Arjuna Award from the President of India in 2019.

Jagatpriyan, the Producer, told the India Book of Records magazine that the attempt was to set the national record for the fastest drift at over 200 kmph in a controlled and safe environment in a production car while unboxing a phone. The record attempt was made using a Lamborghini Huracan EVO Spyder RWD car. A run-up of about 400 meters was taken to get the car up to a speed of 220 kmph, after which the car was put into a drift using a technique known as a Scandinavian Flick. Post initiating the drift, the car was held in the drift for a few seconds and the drift speed was recorded at 205.47 kmph, establishing the record.”

The record for 'smartphone unboxed while performing the fastest drift in a sports car' was set by Power Drift Studios in association with OnePlus India. Gaurav Gill drifted the Lamborghini Huracan Spyder at a high speed.

NATRAX, Pithampur is an automotive proving ground and testing facility which is utilised by various automotive and component manufacturers to develop, test, and certify their products in a controlled environment. The facility offers various types of testing tracks, one of which is the Dynamic Platform, which was used for setting the record.

Planning for the record began with consulting Gaurav Gill and the direction team at Powerdrift. After evaluation of various airstrips, racetracks, and testing facilities, the Dynamic Platform at NATRAX was selected as being the best suited for the record attempt as it offers a 1.5 km straight stretch that leads to a 300-meter diameter circular pad which was used for the Fastest Drift.

A series of reconnaissance trips were made to NATRAX with Gaurav Gill, the Powerdrift Production team, and the NATRAX officials to plan the maneuver and take various measurements of distance, estimates of speed, and margins for error were

calculated before it was decided to proceed with attempting the record. Ten sets of tyres were secured in order to maintain the safety of the car when making various practice and record attempt runs. The shoot was finally planned on February 4th, 2023, and was successfully executed in its entirety within one day, securing the record.

Apart from the Powerdrift Studios team and Gaurav Gill, various vendors were involved in the execution phase of the activity, namely Prasad Nagarkar, who provided the car for the attempt, and Mohak from Sushila Autotechnik, who provided technical support for the car. Chequered Flag, the event company, that helped secure NATRAX as the shoot location and provided onground production support. RD Equipment, Mumbai provided the high-speed Phantom cameras and operators, and Accord Equips Pune provided cameras, accessories, and operators for the shoot.

Non-stop Singing Marathon

DS Rajpurkar, a music lover and a sincere fan of Mohammad Rafi, from Mumbai, Maharashtra, has set a record under the India Book of Records (IBR) for conducting a non-stop singing marathon of Mohammed Rafi's songs. His organisation, 24 Carat Pure Entertainment, organised an event to celebrate Mohammed Rafi's 98th birthday, at Amrai Resort in Alibaug, Maharashtra, where a total of 24 singers started singing Mohammed Rafi’s songs one by one, on December 23, 2022, at 11 am. The singing marathon continued till 11 am on December 24, 2022, setting a national record.

Rajpurkar, born on December 16, 1969, is a government servant. He graduated in Commerce from Goa University and was deeply interested in music since childhood. He used to perform in college, participated in many music competitions later in his life, and sometimes sang live at his office functions as well. He was selected as a finalist in the ‘Voice of Mohammed Rafi Competition, organised by the Rafi Fans Club, Navi Mumbai in 2013.

Rajpurkar shared with the India Book of Records magazine, “When I used to perform with the karaoke system earlier, a lot of people started noticing me as a singer and I started getting paid for singing at events. Considering my interest in music and the soothing effect it brings, and with the support and encouragement of some friends, I founded the 24 Carat Pure Entertainment Group in Mumbai. So far I have performed live with over 50 musicians and at karaoke shows. During the lockdown, I remained connected with people by doing FB live shows. This way I made them feel relaxed and engaged. Due to this, I received love from everyone."

Today he has created a special space for himself in Mumbai. He has been a fan of Mohammed Rafi since the beginning and thinks that the great singer has contributed a lot to the music industry. That's why, he had a dream in his mind that one day, on the birthday of Rafi Sahab, he would organise a grand show as a musical tribute to the singer. The dream turned into reality on December 24, 2022, on Rafi Sahab's birthday, when 24 singers sang non-stop for 24 hours, under the banner of 24 Carat Pure Entertainment. The activity also established a national record.

He faced a lot of challenges in organising the event. Organising a programme in a remotely located jungle resort on a cold December night was a big challenge. It was also a difficult task to make arrangements for the accommodation of all the singers and manage their schedule, wake them up, and keep them ready for the

stage. Music lover, JP Kaka was a great support in holding the event. Kaka runs the Naushad Sangeet Samiti in Sion Koliwada and has been with Naushad sahib for over 16 years. Advocate Imtiaz Patel also remained present throughout the show and kept encouraging Rajpurkar and the team. Notable among the singers were Rajesh Nadkarni, Pradeep Gaikwad, Hari Devarajan, Prajita Penkar and Monika Bhardwaj. Mrs Sheetal N Gor also played a vital role in organising the event from start to finish.

Cooking a mammoth amount of millet

The record for the maximum quantity of millets prepared in a single vessel and served was set by celebrity Chef Vishnu Manohar in an event organised by Mahendra Subhash Chandra Chhoriya, MD of Millet Meal brand Sonpari-Sehat of Nashik, Maharashtra. A total of 4,000 kg of millet was prepared in a single vessel and distributed free of cost to common people, old age homes and orphanages in Nashik city. This record was set to commemorate the International Year of Millets with the goal of increasing awareness and raising millet production and consumption. The attempt got a place in the India Book of Records (IBR) and Asia Book of Records (ABR).

Chef Vishnu is known for his exceptional culinary skills and expertise. Equipped with an incredible passion for cooking, he has authored over 54 books on various aspects of culinary art and related subjects. He is also a co-writer of the Maharashtra Khadya Sanskriti Kosh, a comprehensive guide to the food culture of Maharashtra. His passion for cooking has earned him various records. This incredible feat took place on February 12th, 2023 at Thakkar Estate in Nashik, where Chef Vishnu led a team of skilled chefs to cook a mammoth amount of millet. The cooked millet was then distributed to over 15,000 people, including orphanages, old age homes, hospitals, and NGOs, making it an event that brought joy and nourishment to the lives of many.

The record for the maximum quantity of millets prepared in a single vessel and served was set by celebrity Chef Vishnu Manohar in an event organised by Mahendra Subhash Chandra Chhoriya of Nashik, Maharashtra.

Mahendra Subhash Chandra Chhoriya, Managing Director, Millet Meal brand SonpariSehat told the India Book of Records magazine that millets are known for their numerous health benefits, including being high in fiber, protein, and antioxidants. They are also glutenfree and have a low glycemic index, making them an excellent choice for those with dietary restrictions. “But, organising Chef Vishnu's record-breaking event of cooking more than 4000 kg of millet in a single pot presented many logistical challenges to us, such as crowd management and food distribution. However, with the help of a dedicated team and the cooperation of the local people, the challenges were overcome smoothly. The programme was graced by the District Magistrate of Nashik, Divisional Commissioner of Nashik, Municipal Commissioner of Nashik, Member of Parliament and the local MLA,” he said.

Mahendra Chhoriyais a personality with a strong leadership presence. He is the Chairman of the Yash Group of Companies, which has made a mark in the industry with innovative ideas and impactful solutions. However, Chhoriya's sporting spirit and love for athletics are equally impressive. As the owner of Sonpari Bhagar and an athlete who won the title of Iron Man Australia (2019), he takes great pride in the sporting achievements of his team. His optimism resonates through his work as the president of the Nashik Millets Association for a decade, where he has taken remarkable steps to promote millets and the welfare of farmers. Even during the pandemic, he showed an unwavering commitment to social and cultural work, leaving a permanent impression on the organisations and society as a whole. His association with the Indian Institute of Millets Research for the direct procurement of millets from farmers and farmer cooperatives, has brought about positive changes and helped uplift the lives of many farmers. Through his contributions, Chhoriya has become an inspiration for many and continues to make a significant impact on the industry and society.

Warli Paintings on the wall

The record for ‘making the largest Warli painting on a wall’ was set by the Aurangabad Municipal Corporation, Maharashtra, where a team of 100 female artists, under the aegis of the Municipal Corporation, created the Warli painting on the outer wall of ST Bus Depot office, covering an area of 3,200 sq. ft. The wall is 456 feet long and the painting was done with the intention to make the city beautiful and to showcase Aurangabad's culture and history. The achievement is now part

of the India Book of Records (IBR). Six tribal Warli experts from the Dhavleri Group of Palghar guided the women artists. The idea of wall painting was conceptualised by Artist Rajnandini Ghodele, who approached the Aurangabad Municipal Corporation. She shared with the India Book of Records magazine, “We selected Warli painting because it is Maharashtra's traditional art, which has deep cultural and historical significance. Warli art and paintings are forms of

tribal art, primarily created by the Adivasi community in the northern Sahuarita range of Western India. The paintings are characterised by the use of simple shapes such as circles, triangles, and lines which are derived from observation of nature and are believed to have symbolic meaning. Warli paintings’ history narrates that this art form was particularly done by women.”

A total of 100 women artists were part of this record, where a few Dhavleri Group members guided the artists throughout, about each detail and significance of the Warli art form. Other women artists came from different organisations like Nandinee Art, Creative Arts, Mirror Art Gallery, and TRON. Few women were from different professions such as Civil Aviation, Medicine, Chartered Accountancy, and Management, who followed their passion for art as a hobby. The women artists were from all age groups, from 18 to 60 years.

Rajnandini further said, “If we talk about the challenges in this record-setting project, then for me it was how to pitch my idea to the civic body. Fortunately, with the help of ECOSATTVA, I was able to approach Somnath Jadhav, Deputy Commissioner, Aurangabad Municipal Corporation, who accepted my proposal without delay and supported us with his immense energy. He provided us with everything we were in need of. It was absolutely a big challenge to paint a 3,200 sq. ft wall that too in less than 6 hours with 100 women artists. Coordinating with everyone, we made sure that the work was being done in the right manner. We used 140 liters of brown base paint and 40 liters of white paint for the Warli artwork.”

The motive behind setting this record was to showcase the power of Naari Shakti and to promote women's empowerment. Warli art was particularly done by women in ancient times; however, nowadays there are very few Warli artists left. Another, reason for the artwork was the G20 Summit. The painting project began at 10 am on February 17, 2023, under the supervision of Somnath Jadhav, Deputy Commissioner, Aurangabad Municipal Corporation. Saurabh Joshi, Deputy CEO of Smart City, and BB Nemne. Additional Commissioner also supervised the work.

Shortest course of public speaking

Preman U of Thrissur, Kerala has set another record for ‘minimum time taken to mentor for public speaking’, wherein the training was given to the participants to be public speakers. The session started at 8 am and ended at 3 pm, taking 7 hours, on February 18, 2023, at Endzeil Yoga Centre, Thrissur. The achievement has now become a part of the Asia Book of Records (ABR). A retired junior engineer, Preman is 60 years old and has served for 39 years in various organisations at the state and national levels.

A drama artist and lyricist at All India Radio, he started taking classes in 1985 on subjects such as speech study and personality development. Initially, it was a fortnightly course, which changed to a week and then to three days in 2000. Earlier, his 9 hours class, held on August 14-15, 2022, earned him a place in the India Book of Records. After many years of experience in public speaking, he has now started recording his training programs.

Hailing from Thalassery in the Kannur district of Kerala, Preman told the India Book of Records, “I understood at a young age what stops one from speaking in front of other people. My first public speaking experience was in 6th standard and I failed

miserably. The school teachers did not even want to register my name for the next year's speech competition. This made me sad. By the time I reached the 10th standard, I had learned how to deliver a speech and adjust my body movements accordingly. I became aware that fear in the mind hinders speech. After that, I started listening to the speeches of famous people and observing them closely. I spent years on this skill. I wrote down the advantages and disadvantages of the speech I was listening to. I consulted guidebooks and did a Diploma Course in Counselling.”

Later on, he realized that some people have mental blocks, which could be removed through meditation. For this, he studied meditation and continued his experiments and studies. He learned Reiki, Pranic Healing, Acupressure, different meditations, NLP, breathing techniques, etc. to make his training course more useful to the learners. During the Covid pandemic, he started online classes. In the beginning, there was a fear of success. His confidence level grew with each passing day and session. His teaching sessions gave a new experience to the participants.

Preman says that meditation plays a crucial role in controlling the mind and balancing the thought process. After doing meditation for some time, the learners gain control over their minds and the five senses. The combined effect of this control creates magic and the speaker gains the confidence to speak in front of a live audience. The technique of mind control makes the fear disappear and increases the self-confidence on the stage.

Continuous Drift for longest duration

The record for performing a continuous drift for the longest duration in a car was set by Launch Control India at the Buddh International Circuit. Driving a modified Mercedes Benz C class, the designated driver Mudit Grover from Launch Control India did the non-stop drifting for 19 minutes and 20 seconds at the Buddh International Circuit, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on February 19, 2023. The attempt earned Launch Contro India a proud space in the prestigious India Book of Records (IBR). The Buddh International Circuit is a motor racing circuit in Delhi NCR at Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The track shares its name with Gautama Buddha, as does the district in which the track is located. The track, officially launched on October 18, 2011, is a 5.125 km long circuit designed by German racetrack designer Hermann Tilke. The banked multi-apex turn 10–11–12 sequence is one of the most notable sections of the circuit. It

has been likened to the long, fast Turn 8 at Turkey's Istanbul Park circuit as it is a challenging sequence that generates high tyre loadings. The circuit's main straight, at 1.06 km, is among the longest in F1, with a key overtaking point at its end. The pitlane is also one of the longest in F1, at more than 600 metres, as in most races with pit stops.

Mudit Grover from Launch Control India drove the modified Mercedes Benz C class and created history by performing the continuous drift for 19 minutes and 20 seconds – the longest duration on record. You must know that drifting is a driving technique where

the driver intentionally oversteers, with loss of traction, while maintaining control and driving the car through the entirety of a corner. The technique causes the rear slip angle to exceed the front slip angle to such an extent that often the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn, for example, the car is turning left, the wheels are pointed right or vice versa, also known as opposite lock or counter-steering.

Drifting is traditionally done by clutch kicking, where the clutch is rapidly disengaged and re-engaged with the intention of upsetting the grip of the rear wheels, then intentionally oversteering and countersteering. As a motoring discipline, drifting competitions were first popularised in Japan in the 1970s. Drifting competitions are held worldwide and are judged according to the speed, angle, showmanship, and line is taken through a corner or set of corners. Drifting has evolved into a

competitive sport where drivers compete almost exclusively, in rear-wheel-drive cars to earn points from judges based on various factors.

Vidit Jain, the Organiser of the record-setting event, is all praise of the driving skills of his friend Mudit Grover, who created this enviable record of the longest duration drift. Mudit Grover is a digital product designer, who has spent the past many years freelancing and creating his own projects, across London and New Delhi, building powerful digital products through beautifully crafted interfaces. Attired in a red T-shirt, Mudit drove a black coloured Merc to create the record-breaking drift. He is on Instagram with his @badboimudit account to showcase his passion for cars and fast driving.

Collective NamaskarSurya

To highlight the importance of good health in today's fastpaced life, a mass Surya Namaskar was organised by the Sakal Media Group on February 11, 2023. The activity, organised for school students, received a spontaneous response. To promote good health, 3,39,000 students from 600 schools in the state collectively performed Surya Namaskar. They were joined by thousands of others at the same time. The media group organised a collective Surya Namaskar and Omkar Programme at 2000 different places in Maharashtra including schools, wherein a total of 5,67,000 people participated and performed Surya Namaskar together at the same time between 7 am to 9 am. The successful attempt got into the India Book of Records (IBR).

At the pre-decided time, the students assembled on the school premises for the Group Surya Namaskar activity. Their enthusiasm was at its peak. The teachers made them stand in a disciplined manner on the ground. After that, all the students did Surya Namaskar together as per the instructions given by the guides and the teachers. Some of the students shared that after performing Surya Namaskar, they felt energetic and positive. Realizing the importance of a healthy body, the media group is undertaking various programmes. The 'Group Surya Namaskar' was the first phase was the activities.

Along with this, with the aim of making the new generation aware of the importance of health, a 'Swasthyaam' programme is planned to be started for children.

A 'Gross Health Questionnaire 2023' scheme will also be implemented for readers of all age groups in Maharashtra and Goa. In this quiz, readers will get a chance to win attractive prizes along with enhancing their health-related knowledge. The scheme was started on February 13, 2023, and it will conclude on May 25, 2023. It will remain in offline mode only. Surya Namaskar is useful for all age groups of society and it is seen in today's fast-paced life that there is not much to do except go to work, earn money for a living, and relax for some time. Actually, if the kids develop a habit of doing Surya Namaskar, they can stay away from many diseases and keep themselves fit. The collective Suryanamaskar was aimed at this habit-making only. As the name suggests ‘Surya’ means Sun, and ‘Namaskar’ means salutation, when put together it means a salutation to the Sun. So the ideal time to practice Suryanamaskar is in the morning hour when the Sun is rising. The practice is known to be the 'King of Yoga', and is believed to revitalise every aspect of your being, from the physical to the spiritual. Suryanamaskar has different poses of yoga, i.e. Pranamasana (prayer pose), Hasta Uttanasana (Raised Arms Pose), Hasta Padasana (Hand to Foot Pose), Ashwa Sanchalanasana (Equestrian Pose), Dandasana (Stick Pose), Ashtanga Namaskara (Salute with Eight Parts Pose), Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose), Parvatasana (Mountain Pose), and Tadasana (Standing or Palm Tree Pose).

The record for organising the ‘maximum people performing Surya Namaskar together in a state’ was set by Sakal Media Group. The Maharashtra-based media group organised ‘Collective Surya Namaskar’ and ‘Omkar Program’ on Feb 11, 2023

The art of mind-reading

Arun Loganathan, a highly skilled performer with over two decades of experience in the world of entertainment, began his career as a magician, turned into an illusionist, then an escape artist, and finally, a mentalist and hypnotist, utilising his skills to captivate and amaze audiences. Popularly known as 'Arun the Mentalist', Arun is the only person in the world to set the Asia Book of Records to read 75 minds in 30 minutes. The record was made on February 25, 2023 at Alwarpet, Chennai.

Arun's expertise in mentalism and mind-reading is unmatched, and his ability to connect with audiences is truly awe-inspiring. His passion for his craft and his commitment towards entertaining and inspiring people, are what make him stand out as a performer. Throughout his illustrious career, Arun is constantly pushing the boundaries of what is impossible. His initial plan was to read 120 minds in 60 minutes, but he wanted to challenge himself and made it more difficult by demonstrating the art with the maximum number of people in the least time.

The event, called Mind Hive, was a thrilling showcase of mentalism and mind-reading that left the audience in awe. Mind Hive was not just a record-breaking attempt but also an exploration of the mysteries of the human mind. During the

event, Arun seamlessly read the minds of 75 individuals with various acts that amazed the audience. He found the ESP card that was in an audience member's mind, guessed the names of celebrities, songs, and movies that only participants knew about, and revealed random words that a group of people had in their minds from a book of 250 pages.

The highlight of the show was when Arun revealed that a participant's favourite animal was the Blue Whale. Throughout the event, Arun never disclosed any personal information of a participant without their consent. Mind Hive was a journey into the depths of what we can accomplish with our thoughts and imaginations. The audience was left questioning what was real and what was not, amazed by Arun's performance.

On successfully completing the attempt, Vivek Nair, Adjudicator of Asia Book of Records, declared and felicitated Arun with the Asia Book of Records certificate and a medal. Arun's feat set a new record for the Asia Book of Records, showcasing the limitless potential of the human mind. Arun's achievement is a testament to the incredible potential of the human mind and the endless possibilities that come with it.

Arun said, “Mentalism, the art of creating the illusion of supernatural mental abilities, has captivated audiences for decades. From predicting lottery numbers to reading the minds of the audience, mentalists use a variety of techniques to create their illusions. One such technique is cold reading, in which the mentalist makes general statements about the audience, creating the impression of deep knowledge and insight. Other techniques include suggestion, misdirection, and psychological manipulation.”

But mentalism isn't just about creating illusions; it's also about entertaining and engaging audiences. Mentalists use their abilities to create an atmosphere of mystery and wonder, drawing in their audience and leaving them on the edge of their seats. Some mentalists claim to have genuine supernatural abilities, while others acknowledge that their performances are based on skillful deception and an understanding of human psychology. Either way, mentalism remains a fascinating art form that continues to captivate audiences.

Non-stop Karagam and Kavadi

Centre of Research and Training on Indian Art and Culture (CRTIAC) of Tamil Nadu, set a record for the longest duration to perform Karagam and Kavadi by a trio on nails for one hour non-stop and thus getting into the prestigious pages of Asia Book of Records (ABR). The record-making performance held in Chennai mesmerised the audience. The ethnic dance presented a glimpse of the state’s rich culture and traditions.

Centre of Research and Training on Indian Art and Culture (CRTIAC) has been promoting regional cultural activities in Tamil Nadu. Different government cultural organisations and art institutions that were functioning under the administrative control of different departments were brought under one umbrella - the Department of Art and Culture in 1991. CRTIAC was established with the aim of conducting research and training in the field of art and culture.

The three dancers performed Kavadi Aattam, a ceremonial sacrifice and offering practised by devotees during the worship of Lord Murugan, a regional form of Kartikeya, the Hindu God of war. The Kavadi is a physical burden, the bearing of which is used by the devotee to implore Murugan for assistance, usually on behalf of a loved one who is in need of healing, or as a means of balancing a spiritual debt. An elaborate Kavadi consists of two semicircular pieces of wood or steel which are bent and attached to a cross structure that can be balanced on the shoulders of the devotee. It is often decorated with flowers and peacock feathers (the vehicle of Murugan), among other things. Some of the Kavadi can weigh up to 30 kg.

The myth behind the practice of the Kavadi Aattam is steeped in Tamil mythology. At Mount Kailash, Shiva is said to have entrusted the sage Agastya with two hillocks, the Shivagiri hill, and the Shaktigiri hill, with instructions to carry and install them in South India. The sage left them in a forest and later asked his disciple, Idumban, to get them. Idumban found the two hillocks, but could not initially lift them, until he obtained divine help. Near Palani in South India, where there is a famous shrine of

Murugan, Idumban put the hillocks down, to rest awhile. When he attempted to continue with his journey, he found that the hillocks were immovable.

On the other hand, Karagam is a folk dance with musical accompaniment, performed balancing a pot on the head. Devotees’ process and dance along a pilgrimage route while bearing these burdens. Murugan had previously been outwitted in a contest for going round the world where his brother,

Vinayakar, had won the jnana palam, the fruit of wisdom. In his anger, the frustrated child left the divine parents and came down to Tiru Avinankudi at Adivaram, the foot of the Sivagiri Hill. Shiva pacified his son by stating that he himself was the fruit of all wisdom. Later, Murugan withdrew to the hill, and settled there as a recluse in peace and solitude.

The record for ‘conducting the maximum number of awareness programmes on ‘Safe Abortion’ pan-India’ was set by Prof (Dr) Richa Sharma, (FOGSI - MTP committee chairperson 2021-2024) on International Safe Abortion Day.

The Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI) is the professional organisation representing practitioners of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in India. With 266 member societies and over 39,000 individual members spread over the length and breadth of the country, FOGSI is probably one of the largest membership-based organisations of specialised professionals. It came into formal existence in Madras (now Chennai) on January 6, 1950, at the 6th All India Congress of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, when the obstetric and gynaecological societies of Ahmedabad, Bengal, Bombay (now Mumbai), Madras and Punjab resolved to form themselves into the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India. The launch of FOGSI as the national organisation of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists followed five earlier All India Congresses, the first of these held in Madras in 1936 and was organised by the then existing three obstetric and gynaecological societies at Bombay, Kolkata and Madras.

FOGSI exists to encourage and disseminate knowledge, education and research in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, to pilot and promote preventive and therapeutic services related to the practice of Obstetrics and Gynaecology for the betterment of the health of women and children in particular and the well-being of the community in general, to advocate the cause of reproductive health and rights and to support and protect the interest of practitioners of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in India.

International Safe Abortion Day is celebrated every year on September 28. The day of action for access to safe and legal abortion has its origin in Latin America and the Caribbean where women’s groups have been mobilising around September 28 for the last two decades to demand their governments decriminalise abortion, to provide access to safe and affordable abortion services and to end stigma and discrimination towards women who choose to

have an abortion. The date, September 28, was chosen in commemoration of the abolition of slavery in Brazil which is now remembered as the day of the ‘free womb’ demanding safe and legal abortion for all women.

The Indian College of Obstetrics and Gynecology is the academic wing of FOGSI with over 1872 fellows. It was established by FOGSI on December 21, 1984, to further promote the education, training, research and knowledge in obstetrics, gynaecology and reproductive health. The Federation continues to hold the All India Congress of Obstetrics and Gynaecology every year in January for four days. FOGSI also organises Yuva FOGSI, four regional youth conferences to promote and showcase young talent each year.

Longest solo performance

Sri Banashankari Krupaposhitha Natya Sangha of Hubli, Karnataka, set a new record under the Asia Book of Records (ABR) for the longest solo performance in a restructured form of Odalaala - a novel by Devanuru Mahadeva. The fulllength play was performed solo by Sunanda Mallappagoudar, a senior actress, while it was conceptualised and directed by Dr S L N Swamy. The 90 minutes solo performance started at 5.30 pm at the Sawai Gandharva Hall auditorium, located in Deshpande Nagar, Hubli, Karnataka and ended at 7 pm on February 25, 2023.

The drama created the record by performing a long non-stop women’s play. People aware of the event expressed that it was not just a play, but an experiment. The novelist, Devanuru Mahadeva is a renowned writer and intellectual who writes in

the Kannada language. The Government of India conferred upon him the Padma Shri award in 2011, the fourth highest civilian award. Known among literary circles to be a rebel, Mahadeva rejected the Nrupatunga Award, carrying a value of Rs 5,01,000, in the year 2010. Mahadeva's rejection of the award was based on his dissatisfaction that despite being the official language of the state, Kannada was yet to be made the primary language of instruction in schools and colleges.

Mahadeva was of the view that the Kannada language should be made the medium of learning at least up to the college level. Mahadeva is a Kendriya Sahitya Akademi awardee for his novel Kusumabaale and was also honoured with the Karnataka Sahitya Academy Award. However, in the 1990s he rejected the government's offer to nominate him to the Rajya Sabha (the

upper house of the Parliament of India) under the writer's quota. In 2022, he published a book on the RSS that gained popularity and critical acclaim both for its content and its innovative open publishing model. Mahadeva was born in 1948 in Devanuru village in Nanjanagudu Taluk, Mysore district of Karnataka. He worked at the Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL) in Mysore (or Mysuru). Apart from Odalaala, his other prominent creations included Dyavanooru, Kusuma Baale, Edege Bidda Akshara, Devanura Mahadeva Avara Krithigalu, and RSS: Aaala Mattu Agala.

Director of the play, Dr S L N Swamy is a versatile actor, director and co-ordinator of Kannada Theater and Mass Media. Swamy has created 12 world records in his career through his shortest play, longest play, longest women’s play, one-act play, longest one-man show, etc. He has directed plays including Saarathya, Damana, Janaka Jathe Janaki, Dashanana, and Nannolagina Naanu among many others. He is the director of Rangasthala Yelahanka, and also of the Asthithvam Theater Foundation. He has participated in the Peace meeting held in Lahore, Peshawar, and Bangladesh and also in the launching ceremony of Singapore Medicine as a global remedy. He has written and directed thousands of street plays also and has created a record by performing non-stop street play for 24 hours. Considering his achievements the Academy of Universal Global Peace has awarded him an Honorary Doctorate. He also got the Rangamithra Prashasthi and Kempegowda Award.

The Super Randonneurs series

The record for being the youngest to complete the Super Randonneurs series was set by Alamdeep Singh Jawandha of Bathinda, Punjab. He completed the Super Randonneur Series of 1500 km in 36 days, from December 3, 2022, to January 7, 2023. The event was organised by Audax India Randonneurs. He completed four brevets of 300 km, 200 km, 600 km and 400 km at the age of 18 years, 1 month and 20 days. The feat enabled him to get into the India Book of Records. Born on November 18, 2004, in Rampura Phul, a small town in the Bathinda district, Alamdeep did his schooling at a prestigious boarding school St. George’s College, Mussoorie. Being one of India’s top three boarding schools, it had a very strict regime and that is where he learned to take on challenges and accept them. Currently, he is pursuing Law at the Jindal Global Law School, Sonipat, Haryana.

“The cycling bug bit me in the lockdown period when everyone was at home and there was nothing much to do. It gave me a lot of free time; so I asked my parents to buy me a gaming console and as expected the demand was turned down. Then I asked them for a smartphone and that again was denied. Some days later, when I was scrolling through YouTube, I found a channel called the Global Cycling Network, and there I saw people riding

cycles and achieving great feats. My demand for a cycle was immediately accepted and I got my first MTB, a bicycle designed for off-road cycling, worth Rs 50,000 and then I started cycling for 15 to 25 km every day,” he said.

Alamdeep further shared with the IBR magazine that “I would go along with my father, he being in the car behind me, and I would cycle and come back. One day we saw local cycling club members doing their routine morning practice. Their speed bewildered me and I requested them to take me along. They allowed me to practice with them and from that day for a couple of months, I struggled to match their speed and stay with them. After three months, I was unstoppable. With my parents’ everlasting support and the club’s guidance, there was no going back. All I thought about was cycling and nothing else. I wanted to do cycling longer and faster without getting tired.”

The events, known as brevets, are organised under the banner of Audax Club Parisien and further under Audax India Randonneurs. A Super Randonneur is one who has completed the ride of 200 km, 300 km, 400 km, and 600 km, in total 1500 km. He did the 300 km ride with Bathinda Randonneurs on December 3, 2022, and the very next day on December 4, 2022, he did the 200 km ride with Patiala Randonneurs. The rides were hard as they were done back to back and he was short on sleep. He just got four hours of sleep and during the 200 km brevet, he had to ride in dense fog too.

Winning Gold for Silambam

The record for ‘winning the maximum number of gold medals consecutively in Silambam sports’ was set by 27-year-old Veerapandi A of Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu. He won 3 gold medals consecutively for multiple styles of Silambam by topping the senior category in state and national level competitions held on May 15, 2022, July 24, 2022, and August 14, 2022, respectively. His golden journey is now part of the India Book of Records (IBR) as well as the Asia Book of Records (ABR).

Born in a poor family on June 14, 1995, in the village Athipakkam, Vandavasi Taluka in Tiruvannamalai district, Tamil Nadu, Veerapandi is currently living at Ayanavaram in Chennai district. His father M Arjunan and mother A Rajeswari both are daily wage workers. Full of zeal and big dreams, the young man is working at the Royal Enfield motorcycle factory for earning, pursuing his MBA remotely from Alagappa University, and practicing martial arts in his free time. All three things are going side by side and he has no complaints about life.

Talking to the India Book of Records magazine, Veerapandi said, “I have been practicing Silambam, our traditional Tamil martial art for over 5 years at Bodhi Buddha Martial Arts Training Center in Kanchipuram. The same period I spent working at the Royal Enfield motorcycle factory. As far as my daily routine is concerned, I train for three hours along with 100 other sportsmen, study for two hours, and work for eight hours at the factory. I am happy with my life and my achievements so far.”

He further added, “I have won three gold medals in the competitions conducted by the training center for the last three consecutive years in the senior category. I also won two gold medals in the senior category in the state-level sports competitions and one gold medal in the senior category at the national level competition.”

According to him, Silambam has more than 90 categories. Over some time, the art of Silambam has developed as a sport. This sport improves the physical and mental strength of the player and promotes health and fitness in general. It also boosts immunity. The Tamil term Silambal, which signifies sound, is the root of the word Silambam. Since the bamboo staff creates noise when being
