Fastest Underwater Speedcubing

Speedcubing is the art of solving the Rubik’s cube and similar puzzles as quickly as possible. Ishaan Nimish Hadkar of Thane, Maharashtra, has over 10 years of experience in speedcubing. On March 1, 2024, the 22-year-old Ishaan Hadkar set two records and got his name entered into the prestigious India Book of Records (IBR). The first record was for being the fastest to solve the Rubik’s cube while scuba diving. He solved the Rubik’s cube, scrambled it, and then took it 20 feet underwater in the Arabian Sea in Malvan, in the Konkan region of Maharashtra. He solved the cube in a record time of 24.75 seconds from entering the water to resurfacing; however, the timing of Rubik’s cube solving was 16 seconds.

The second record was for the maximum number of Rubik’s cubes solved while scuba diving. For this, he solved 10 Rubik’s cubes. He scrambled the cubes, placed them in a bag, and took them underwater. He then successfully solved all 10 cubes one by one, transferring them to another bag, in 4 minutes and 31.61 seconds. IBR adjudicator Kashmira Shah verified the attempts and announced the records.

Ishaan’s core competencies are attention to detail, data analysis, visualisation, and problem-solving. His mission is to inspire and educate people about the beauty and logic of Rubik’s cubes and how they can enhance their cognitive abilities and creativity. He works as a Rubik’s Cube Mosaic Artist, creating realistic and stunning artworks with Rubik’s cubes for various clients and occasions. He holds a Business Analytics

1 India Book of Records | May 2024

credential from Harvard Business School Online. It helps him with analytical and data-driven approaches to his projects and processes. He has won several Rubik’s Cube competitions in India and represented India at the World Cube Championships 2023, held in Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Talking to the India Book of Records magazine, Ishaan Hadkar said, “I started speedcubing at the age of 12 years and now with practice, I have reached the pinnacle of speedcubing. Many people take Rubik’s cube as a time-pass activity, but I took it as a passion and now I am one of the record holders in India. Cubing has always been my passion ever since I started understanding the benefits. It depends on the hand, eye, and brain coordination and helps to sharpen your mind and decision-making ability. One gets a millisecond to decide and act on solving the cube, which makes this activity of speedcubing exciting and enhances brain development. I encourage young people to pursue this activity as a hobby, which will help them in their academics and also in their life journey.”

The speedcuber further added, “As a Rubik’s Cube Mosaic Artist, I use around 100 Rubik’s cubes to create a 900-pixel image and can do up to 1000 cubes for greater detail. Some of my work can be seen on my profile, such as company logos, faces, and

landscapes. I also teach people how to solve a Rubik’s cube and help them improve their problem-solving, analytical thinking, and decision-making skills. I have been a speedcuber since 2013, won 24 medals, and hold a national record for the fastest average Rubik’s cube-solving time. I enjoy sharing my passion and knowledge of Rubik’s cubes with others and challenge myself to create new and innovative designs and solutions.”

Ishaan Nimish Hadkar of Thane, Maharashtra, set two records with Rubik’s cube while scuba diving. He solved the cube puzzle underwater in a record time and solved 10 Rubik’s cubes underwater while doing scuba diving.

Purity of Gold Coins

Gold is a symbol of prosperity and well-being in India. The allure of gold has been growing across generations. Thus, for consumers and investors, it becomes vital they choose gold and silver products with the highest purity level. In this endeavour, MMTC-PAMP India Pvt Ltd has been recognized as the country’s only brand providing the purest gold and silver coins and bars with 999.9+ purity levels and positive weight tolerance to consumers and investors. Many players in India offer 24K gold which can be represented as 999 fineness. This 999-fineness gold is 999 parts pure gold out of 1,000 parts, with small traces of other metals. MMTC-PAMP consistently provides minted gold and silver coins and bars with the highest purity level at 999.9+, meaning, customers will receive over 999.9 grams of gold or silver out of 1,000 grams of the respective precious metal. The Mewat-based production plant of MMTC-PAMP has received a proud mention in the India Book of Records for this achievement.

Vikas Singh, Managing Director and CEO of MMTC-PAMP India Pvt Ltd, said, “We are truly honoured to be recognized as India’s purest gold and silver brand by the India Book of Records. This achievement reflects our firm commitment to providing our customers with products that exemplify the pinnacle of purity and artistry, with up to 999.9+ purity gold and silver products. This recognition reflects our commitment to excellence through the finest Swiss craftsmanship. At MMTC-PAMP, we take pride in crafting exceptional products that resonate deeply with our consumers’ needs. We hope that our products serve as treasures for our customers and become cherished souvenirs symbolising blessings, prosperity, and new beginnings.

“MMTC-PAMP is the only refinery that uses silver as the balance metal, thus providing customers with a more valuable minted gold product. By aiming to surpass the conventional 999.9 purity, MMTC-PAMP seeks to establish a new gold standard for the industry.

“This record attempt is not just about breaking records; it’s about redefining what customers can expect from the gold they invest in. Every product created by MMTC-PAMP goes through

a rigorous purification process to ensure 999.9+ purity of the metal. To validate the authenticity, every MMTCPAMP product carries a unique number and comes packaged in Assayer Certified Minted Cards.

“Each gold and silver product bought from MMTC-PAMP offers positive weight tolerance, which guarantees that every coin or bar one buys, weighs more than the listed weight, ensuring that customers receive the highest value for their investment,” he added.

A joint venture between Switzerland-based bullion refinery, PAMP SA, and MMTC Ltd, a Miniratna and Government of India Undertaking, MMTC-PAMP is the only LBMA-accredited gold and silver goods delivery refiner in India and is accepted across global commodity exchanges and central banks. The company seamlessly marries Swiss excellence with Indian insights. MMTCPAMP India Pvt Ltd is internationally recognized as an industry leader in bringing global standards of excellence to the Indian precious metals industry. MMTC-PAMP has received several awards from local and global industry bodies for Refining, Brand, and Sustainability, since its inception.

Currently, he is the President of the Surgeons Society of Jaipur. The surgeon has received 15 prestigious awards for outstanding work during and after the service period. A few of them are - an appreciation certificate from the Mobile Surgical Unit for excellent work done in 1987-88, appreciation certificate by Rajasthan Chapter of Associations of Surgeons of India (ASIRAJ) for excellent paper presentation at Kota in 1987, Salam Rajasthan Award by Dr Vishva Mohan Bhatt in 2010, and Basini’s Award Appreciation certificate at the annual conference of Asia-Pacific Hernia Society at CebuPhilippines.

It is worth mentioning that there are two different clusters of hernia - groin and ventral (abdominal) wall. Groin hernia includes femoral, obturator, and inguinal types. Inguinal hernia is the most common type of hernia and consists of about 75% of all hernia surgery cases in the US. Inguinal hernia, which results from lower abdominal wall weakness or defect, is more

20 India Book of Records | May 2024

common among men with about 90% of total cases. In the inguinal hernia, fatty tissue or a part of the small intestine gets inserted into the inguinal canal. Other structures that are uncommon but may get stuck in an inguinal hernia can be the appendix, caecum, and transverse colon. Hernias can be asymptomatic, incarcerated, or strangled. Incarcerated hernia leads to impairment of intestinal flow, and a strangled hernia obstructs blood flow besides intestinal flow.

An inguinal hernia can make a small lump in the groin region which can be detected during a physical examination and verified by imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT). This lump can disappear by lying down and reappear

The record for the oldest person operated for Inguinal hernia successfully by a doctor was set by Dr Devi Shanker Malik, General & Laparoscopic Surgeon, Eternal Hospital, Jaipur, who operated upon a 103-year-old patient.

through physical activities, laughing, crying, or forceful bowel movements. Other symptoms can include pain around the groin, an increase in the size of bulge, feeling pain while lifting, and a dull aching sensation. In occult hernia, the bulge cannot be detected by physical examination alone, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be helpful in diagnosing this condition.

Say No to Drugs

These days, from every nook and corner of the country we see many activities carried out for a social cause, but the one by Avadi police and students was remarkable. Avadi Commissionerate entered a record book recently when they forged a human formation against drug abuse by bringing together 3600 students from 126 schools. A drone view of the formation made it look like a painting, however, a closer look revealed painstaking efforts by the students and the Avadi city police personnel, under Commissioner K Shankar, to create a record for a social cause. The initiative by Avadi police is now officially the ‘largest symbolic human formation for drug awareness’, according to the Asia Book of Records (ABR).

School students dressed in green, red, and orange organized themselves into a formation to depict awareness messages in Tamil and English ‘Yenakku Vendaam, Namakku Vendaam – Vendaam Bodhai’ (say no to drugs) at the Armed Reserve

grounds in Avadi. The city police officers see the world record effort as a massive step towards their drug awareness initiative with a touch of community policing. Asia Book of Records adjudicator, S Sagayaraj presented the medal and certificate to the organizers.

Tamil Nadu police chief Shankar Jiwal said, “By engaging schoolchildren for these initiatives, we are also directly reaching out to the younger population who will learn from interacting with police about the ill effects of drug usage. It is our part in creating model citizens out of younger generations. A war was being waged against Ganja. The message should reach everyone. The younger generation is the ideal ambassadors to spread awareness of drug abuse. Children should safeguard themselves against drug abuse as both mental and physical growth is necessary to achieve their dreams.”

22 India Book of Records | May 2024

Avadi police commissioner K Shankar said that to control the drug menace, police were adopting a double-pronged strategy through enforcement and education. In addition to enforcement action against drug peddlers resulting in high seizures, efforts are also being made to create awareness and reduce demand. In the presence of Avadi City Police Commissioner K.Shankar, the Director General of Police and Head of Police Force Shankar Jiwal administered a pledge to the students. He also called upon the students to work towards a drug-free society and extend support to achieve the goal of creating a drug-free society.

J Kumaragurubaran, School Education Secretary, Additional Commissioner of Avadi City Police S Rajendran, and others participated.

Avadi Police Commissionerate and Sparkling Starz of Tamil Nadu set the record for the largest symbolic human formation for drug awareness, wherein 3600 people formed the human symbol ‘Say No to Drugs’ to promote healthy living.

It is a matter of concern that Tamil Nadu is facing a considerable drug menace, as was evident from the statement of the Governor of the state, R N Ravi that the ‘worst fears of prevalence of drugs’ in Tamil Nadu have been ‘confirmed’ by the seizure of narcotics connected to members of an international drug cartel, and the subsequent arrest of the suspected kingpin belonging to the state.

Marathon against Child Abuse

Child abuse is a social evil that has existed in our society for a long time. The awareness regarding the same has been minimal in developing countries. Many a time, punitive measures taken by parents to discipline their children turn out to be painful scars in their childhood resulting in stunting of their mental and social growth. Doctors and other healthcare workers do play a crucial role in identifying and reporting such issues. Law has also evolved over the recent past in safeguarding the future of children. However, awareness regarding this issue has remained to be the same as before.

Children are vulnerable and need love, care, shelter, and protection from their caretakers for appropriate growth and development. Abuses against these tender beings often blight their childhood, leading to an inability to reach their full potential - both physically and mentally. Though child maltreatment has existed for many centuries, contemporary societies have either remained in denial or have been

24 India Book of Records | May 2024

snail-paced to acknowledge them as issues. India houses the second largest child population. A government of India survey showed that 53% of our children face some kind of abuse. The issue was highlighted during an awareness campaign organized by the MGM Institute of Physiotherapy, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, which also won the Asia Book of Records title.

In commemoration of the International Day for the Prevention of Child Abuse, MGM Institute of Physiotherapy introduced the second edition of MGM Awarathon 2023, a resounding call to action. The initiative was a plea for everyone to stand up, be vigilant, and proactively prevent child abuse. The significant moments included a pre-marathon child abuse prevention drive and a non-stop torch relay. The endeavour showcased

physiotherapy interns passionately enacting skits that shed light on different manifestations of child abuse and preventive measures. The pre-marathon initiative was spread between October 26, 2023, and November 7, 2023, reaching out to 15 schools in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The exercise impacted over 5000 students in grades 5th to 10th. The aim was to raise awareness and empower the younger generation to address and combat child abuse actively.

The non-stop torch relay, a journey of vigilance, echoing a powerful call -- Stop Child Abuse, was held on November 23 and 24, 2023, spanning 246 km within a 29-hour timeframe. The event was organized in association with the Commissionerate of Women and Child Development, Pune. The committed involvement of 100 students and faculty members from the

25 India Book of Records | May 2024

MGM campus fuelled this extraordinary journey. The torch relay started from MGM Campus, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and ended at the Commissionerate of Women and Child Development in Pune. Over 10,000 citizens lent their presence to the profound narrative of this transformative journey. Along the way, powerful street plays by first-year physiotherapy students served as narratives, spreading awareness and encouraging dialogue on the crucial issue of child abuse.

The

MGM Institute of Physiotherapy, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, achieved a significant milestone by organising the MGM Awarathon-23, a non-stop torch relay marathon to raise awareness about child abuse.

Women’s Cardio Fitness

Cardiovascular diseases, which have been identified as a men’s disease, are now also the leading cause of death among women globally. The numbers are exceptionally high in India, accounting for 40% of all female deaths due to cardiovascular diseases. Despite advancements, women continue to face disparities, necessitating immediate attention to gender-specific risk factors and formulating effective strategies for the prevention and treatment of heart diseases. Cardiovascular diseases in women are often misdiagnosed due to the belief that heart conditions predominantly affect men, resulting in delayed prognosis and poor treatment outcomes. Understanding that women may not exhibit the same symptoms as men is essential. Yet, there is insufficient data to comprehend these symptoms fully.

Early this year, at the Shakti Conclave 2.0, hosted in collaboration with STEMI and Women in Cardiology and Related Sciences (WINCARS), leading cardiologists emphasized the need to address gender disparities in heart disease awareness, particularly regarding atypical symptoms. Any signs of breathlessness, fatigue, or pain should prompt immediate testing. While younger women may experience pain less frequently than men, this changes with age, along with

increased incidences of fatigue and insomnia. Addressing these gender-specific differences requires an inclusive approach, empowering women to adopt proactive healthcare practices. Lupin Limited, Mumbai had organized the event.

Meanwhile, Lupin Limited created the record for the maximum number of pledges taken in a month to knock out heart disease in women. A total of 3,000 healthcare practitioners (HCPs) from all over India logged in to a portal created specifically for this purpose and signed the online pledge to create awareness about heart disease in women. The conclave brought together cardiologists from across India to address cardiovascular risk factors and early management in women. The pledge-taking drive started on February 1, 2024, and ended on February 29, 2024, setting a record under the India Book of Records. Sanjana Bhowmick, an IBR adjudicator, verified the claim and presented the medal and the record certificate to the organizers.

Despite being one of the leading causes of death among women, cardiovascular disease-related symptoms are either underreported or reported late by women due to several factors, which puts them in a bad spot, noted specialists expressed at the event. “Women do not present the same symptoms as men; their symptoms are different. They need to be advocated

for because women need to know that their symptoms are different,” said Dr Sarita Rao, senior interventional cardiologist at Apollo Hospitals, Indore. At the same time, Dr Thomas Alexander, senior interventional cardiologist from KMCH Hospital, Coimbatore, said, “We must change how we teach medical college students. Instead of saying that typical symptoms are seen in women, we must emphasize that they are only different so that we don’t miss women who have heart attacks.”

Sourabh Agrawal, Senior Vice President, Lupin Limited, said, “We are happy with the pledges and the recognition from India Book of Records. Women face a myriad of risk factors impacting cardiovascular health, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, elevated cholesterol levels, smoking, and a sedentary

30 India Book of Records | May 2024

lifestyle. Additionally, perimenopause and early menopause heighten the risk of coronary heart disease among young women. Let’s prioritize women’s cardiac health and partner with healthcare professionals, organizations, and technology to empower women in their fight against heart diseases, paving the way for healthier lives.”

Training for Self-protection

33 India Book of Records | May 2024

Women’s self-defence ultimately gives them freedom, as they can defend themselves against mental, emotional, and physical challenges. Women who are afraid to express themselves are confined by their fears. Instead, confidence builds freedom. This is why getting trained in women’s selfdefence classes is so empowering. With this motive, 11,100 women and girls participated in a program on self-defence techniques at the Government Giriraj Degree College ground in Nizamabad, Telangana. The event witnessed girls and women displaying their martial arts skills, especially the techniques of Taekwondo, a Korean form of martial art.

The participants included employees of various departments in the district administration, high school girls of different government and private schools, and residential colleges. District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), in coordination with the district administration and police commissionerate, conducted the program. Through this event, the District Legal Services Authority made its way to the India Book of Records (IBR). District Legal Services Authority secretary, S Govardhan Reddy said, “Every girl and woman should learn self-defence techniques in the current times. Police Commissioner Kalmeshwar Shingenavar and Government General Hospital Superintendent Prathima Raj were among those who

participated in the program. Recognizing the mega attempt on behalf of the India Book of Records, adjudicator Vasudha Rani presented the medal and the record certificate to the organizers.

District Judge Suneetha Kunchala said the achievement could be possible due to the training and perseverance of the participating female students and women. The first such event was held on January 27, 2024, when 700 girls participated. More women joined in the training and nearly 14,000 women have been trained in martial arts so far. The two-hour program that started at 8 am at the Government Giriraj Degree College, filled the atmosphere with energy as the women performed synchronously. Taekwondo coach Manoj, senior officials from various departments, and others were present at the program.

Students between five to 15 years of age took part in the training. Addressing the gathering, District Legal Services Authority chairperson, Suneetha Kunchala said that learning self-defence techniques will help women defend themselves in the face of any unexpected attack on them or any eventuality in their lives. But these techniques should be used strictly for selfdefence. Recognizing the need for self-defence among girls and

34 India Book of Records | May 2024

young women, the State government is organizing self-defence training programs in government and private educational institutions. Self-defence will allow them to empower themselves, and find safety in difficult situations.

Regarding behavioural problems, district collector Rajiv Gandhi Hanumanthu said, “Women need to learn self-defence now more than ever. Self-defence training could empower girls and women to defend themselves and feel confident. Girls should also know the difference between a good touch and a bad touch and if they have any suspicion they should immediately complain to teachers and parents. Teachers should make students aware of good touch and bad touch in schools. Students should inform their family members if they face any such problem or lodge a complaint with the officials.”

The record for the maximum number of females participating in a training program on self-defence techniques was set by the District Legal Services Authority, Nizamabad, Telangana, wherein 11,100 women received the training.

Ayodhya gets the Biggest Nagada

36 India Book of Records | May 2024

Nagada is a Middle Eastern drum with a rounded back and a wide head. An iron nagada of 1100 kg weight became a reason for getting recognition from the Asia Book of Records (ABR) to Shiv Barat Ayojan Evam Jan Kalyan Samiti of Rewa, Madhya Pradesh. It got the title of ‘the biggest iron nagada’ due to its size, measuring 32 feet (384 inches) in diameter, and extraordinary weight. The unusual nagada, made by a Madhya Pradesh-based social organization, was gifted to the newly constructed Sri Ram temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The nagada, kept at Ayodhya Museum, is a major crowd-puller.

According to Lalmani Tiwari, General Secretary, Kashi Prant –Gau Raksha, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, “Authorities of Shiv Barat Ayojan Evam Jan Kalyan Samiti, Rewa, made the world’s biggest nagada at a cost of around Rs. 3 lakh on the occasion of Maha Shivratri. The nagada was brought to Ayodhya from Rewa on a trailer and a convoy of as many as 101 vehicles. The journey of nagada started from Baiju Dharamsala in Rewa in March 2024. After crossing Chak Ghat (Madhya Pradesh-Uttar Pradesh border) the convoy passed through Naribari, Jari, Gohaniya, Ghurpur,

Dandi, Naya Bridge, Balson crossing, Teliyarganj, Phaphamau, Soraon, and Mauaima before reaching Pratapgarh.”

The celebrated nagada was painted with pictures of Kalash (worship pots) and the words – ‘Shri Ram, Jai Ram’ in yellow and white colours. Yellow and orange flowers were also painted on the brown background of the historic musical instrument. The procession along with nagada was received well by the members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal at places on the route from Rewa to Ayodhya. The Shiv Barat Ayojan Evam Jan Kalyan Samiti of Rewa organizes religious processions in city on the occasions of cultural and social importance. It gets in super action every year during the times of Ramlila and Shivratri among other festivals.

The nagada was kept at the museum, where people can witness its uniqueness. Meanwhile, the state government is planning to use artificial intelligence (AI) to make the museum livelier and more informative to the millions of visitors to the holy city of Ayodhya. An artificial intelligence, augmented, and virtual reality-driven services company has been designing

37 India Book of Records | May 2024

the Ram Katha Museum. The plan is to make a hyper-realistic statue of lord Ram which will even have AI-driven movements. The statue would also be able to speak. There will be a hyperrealistic dome with animatronics, holograms, and idol projection in one of the zones of the temple and there will be illusions of different themes. There will be an AI-driven Ramayana show with live visuals moving around the people, and a show of how Ram temple was built. The record-breaking nagada along with the AI-driven museum will surely add value to the city of Shri Ram.

Shiv Barat Aayojan Evam

Jan Kalyan Samiti, Rewa of Madhya Pradesh, set the record for the biggest Iron Nagada (Drum), weighing 1100 kg and measuring 32 feet (384 inches) in diameter, which was created using iron on Shivaratri.

Road Safety Ambassadors

India is the largest two-wheeler market in the world, where most of the roads are dominated by two-wheelers of all shapes and sizes. While two-wheelers offer affordable mobility compared to cars or SUVs, they also expose riders and pillions to significant vulnerability as road users. Having two wheels and no safety shell around, there is always risk involved when riding a motorcycle or scooter on busy urban roads. The risk can be reduced significantly by wearing proper safety gear while riding a bike. According to Section 129 of the Motor Vehicles Act 1988, all riders above the age of four need to wear a protective headgear while riding a two-wheeler of any class or description. For this reason, all two-wheeler manufacturers across India offer one complementary helmet with every new motorcycle or scooter purchase.

As per a report by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Govt of India, a total of 46,593 persons were killed due to non-wearing of helmets in the year 2021, out of which 32,877 (70.6%) persons were drivers and 13,716 (29.4%) were passengers. Additionally, non-wearing of helmets caused injuries to 93,763 people in the same year. Keeping this in mind, helmets are the most

40 India Book of Records | May 2024

important safety equipment. As the first and sole line of defence against head injuries, helmets protect against cranial and spinal trauma. To highlight the importance of helmets, Chittorgarh Seva Sansthan of Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, organized a mega helmet distribution and road safety training program in September 2023.

According to the organizers, a plan was chalked out to distribute IS 4151 marked helmets free of cost under the education and awareness campaign. A one-day road safety training was conducted for local youth identified by Chittorgarh Sewa Sansthan. After the training, youth were administered the road safety pledge and ultimately became the Road Safety Ambassadors (Sadak Suraksha Agradoot). The activity became a hit and created a record under the India Book of Records (IBR) and Asia Book of Records (ABR). Pushkar and Raja Mookim,

adjudicators of the record books, announced the record and presented the medals and certificates to the organizers.

A total of 18,000 people above 18 years were distributed free branded helmets titled the Namo Suraksha Kavach. They also took a pledge on road safety awareness, under the themes of ‘Badalo soch - helmet nahi hai bojh’, ‘Yuva jagrat - desh jagrat’ and ‘Yuva surakshit - desh surakshit’, at Indira Gandhi Stadium, Rithola Choraha, Chittorgarh, in a single day. The event was planned to mark the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. BJP State President Chandra Prakash Joshi presided over the ceremony and administered the pledge to the youth, emphasizing the importance of traffic rules and helmets. Superintendent of Police Rajan Dushyant was also present at the program.

24-hours Endurance Test

Sirish Chandran, Editor of Evo India automotive magazine, invited his automobile journalist friend Kushan Mitra to join him at the National Automotive Test Tracks (NATRAX) in Madhya Pradesh’s Pithampur for a double record attempt, aiming to beat the national endurance record for the maximum distance covered in 24 hours with the support from Volkswagen India. The activity involved Volkswagen’s ‘Made in India’ Virtus sedan driving flat-out for a full day and night. Volkswagen’s mid-size SUV Taigun was also part of the endurance test. Both the models covered remarkable distance along with outstanding fuel efficiency claiming the title of the India Book of Records. It was a serious undertaking. Pushing a car to maximum speed for more than 20 hours puts tremendous strain on the machine.

Even on long drives, a vehicle is given a break every few hours and its engine is never pushed to its limits. Since a single driver cannot manage such a long duration, a team of drivers was required to rotate in shifts, usually until needed to refuel or change the tyres. The team drove the Volkswagen cars for 24 hours, starting on February 17, 2024, at 1 pm and ending on February 18, 2024, at 1 pm stopping only for driver changes and refuelling. India Book of Records’ adjudicator, Antim Kumar Jain verified the claims and after his satisfaction, announced the four records. He presented the medals and certificates to Sirish and the team.

To participate in a record attempt the drivers require a national racing licence. Open to anyone, these licenses are

43 India Book of Records | May 2024

issued by the Federation of Motorsports Clubs of India (FMSCI), the national body recognised by the Federation Internationale de la Automobile (FIA). A four-wheeler license costs Rs. 3,750. As its name suggests, NATRAX comprises test tracks for the Indian auto industry, which was initiated years ago by the Ministry of Heavy Industries, Govt of India. The tracks include an 11.36 km four-lane banked oval for sustaining speeds up to 250 kph. As a world-class testing and evaluation service provider, it caters to all categories of vehicles from 2/3 wheelers to heavy commercial vehicles, testing them as per the national and international standards.

Kushan Mitra said, “I was assigned to Car 1, a blue Volkswagen Virtus with a 115PS 1-litre TSI engine. We did not go for the overall record but tried to complete 24 hours on one set of tyres, which was an immense strain. Forget the engine load keeping rubber at full throttle that long is a tremendous stress test. At a time when stories of tyre-burst are common, we’d start slightly below top speed, around 180 kph, to build some confidence first with the rubber of Apollo Tyres. Besides mine, Cars 2 and 3 were also the Virtus, in burgundy red. They were gunning for the 24hour distance record. It was a super thrilling experience.”

Volkswagen Taigun covered the 11.3 km NATRAX track at high speeds, 194 kmph on average. Taigun, powered by a 115 hp, 175 Nm, 1.0-litre, three-cylinder engine, covered 4423.82 km during the 24-hour endurance drive, thus becoming the SUV with the longest distance covered within this time frame. Besides, that, the SUV achieved an impressive fuel efficiency of 29.8 km/l during the entire drive, recording the best-ever mileage by a 1.0-litre engine-powered car in 24 hours. “The drive was tough. As the setting sunlight struck, it began to come into my eyeline and I needed to fiddle with the sun visor. But I did not lose any speed and kept the car comfortably at cruise control at 185 kph. Since I was part of the entire driving team, I was also awarded an India Book of Records medal and a certificate,” added Kushan.

The records for the maximum distance covered in 24 hours by a sedan (Volkswagen Virtus 1.5 GT) and a midsize SUV (Volkswagen Taigun) were set by Evo India at the NATRAX in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh.

46 India Book of Records | May 2024

development of their financial knowledge, thus contributing to India’s path toward a potentially brighter future.

As part of this initiative, Kotak Mutual Fund enlisted the expertise of over 500 skilled trainers from the Centre for Investment Education and Learning (CIEL). These trainers conducted impactful sessions, ensuring that the program maintained a high standard of quality and relevance throughout its implementation. According to B Saha, Director, CBSE, “CBSE took this initiative to sensitize the teachers of affiliated schools across the country on financial literacy. Many financial institutions supported this initiative. We are pleased to see that Kotak Mutual Fund also joined hands in a big way to empower teachers across India with financial knowledge, thereby contributing to a promising future for the nation.”

Penance undertaken by Antarmana Acharya Prasann Sagar was not only a golden inscription of the great spiritual tradition of India but also created a record of silence under the India Book of Records and Asia Book of Records. He undertook the toughest practice of penance on the holiest land of the liberation of 20 Tirthankaras and Tapobhoomi of many monks -- the Sammed Shikhar, for 557 days. He practiced the unbroken

silent meditation, observed 496 days of waterless fasting, during his Utkrisht Singh Nishkreedit Vrat, and remained devoted to his introspection and eternal journey to search his soul. This made him the first successful Singh Nishkreedit Vrat Sadhana practitioner after Lord Mahavir.

Acharya Prasann Sagar has been in a continuous practice of penance and has undertaken various vows. For the first time in 2001, he worshiped Tirtharaj Sammed Shikhar on the sacred occasion of Akshaya Tritiya and undertook eight Vandana in a day, while 72 Vandana were completed in 27 days. Apart from this, some other important fasts included the Jinasahasranama Vrat, Charitra Shuddhi Vrat, Simhanishkridit Vrat, Gyan Pachisi Vrat, Sammed Shikhar Vrat, Panchmeru Vrat, Ratnatraya Vrat, Dasalakshana Vrat, Solahkaran and Jingun Sampatti

The record for covering the maximum number of days’ experience of spiritual practice in a book was set by Antarmana Aacharya Shri 108 Prasann Sagar ji Maharaj of Chhatarpur, MP, who wrote a book on fasting and silence of 557 days.

Vrat, Karmachoor Vrat, Ashtahnika Vrat, Ravi Vrat, Namokar Vrat, Bhavanavidhi Vrat, Samvasharan Vrat, Ashtami Vrat, Bhaktamar Vrat, Chaunsathaddhi Vrat, etc.

The most revered saint of the Digambar Jain Tradition, Antarmana Acharya Prasann Sagar has been successfully maintaining barriers of physical and moral restraint and self-discipline to advance on the path to liberation by way of reducing and ultimately eliminating the flow of karmic matter through his continuous rigorous practice of penance. The ‘Antarmana’ book included his complete experience and the other incidents that happened during his spiritual practice of fasting and silence for 557 days from July 21, 2021, to January 28, 2023, at Sammed Shikhar Parasnath Jain Teerth in Girdih district of Jharkhand. Narvijay Yadav, the IBR adjudicator, handed over the medals and certificates to Acharya Prasann Sagar at a grand program held at Kunjvan, Udgaon in District Kolhapur, Maharashtra.

Acharya Dr Prasann Sagar is a Digambar Jain saint, who enjoys the consciousness of non-violence in his soul. He has the realization of equity of the souls of all living beings and spreads this message through the practice of compassion for all living beings, which is his gift to humanity and is the most feasible solution to enjoy immense peace of mind. His sainthood is reflected through his pure love for all living beings. He has a naturally evolved compassion in his mind that is deep-rooted in his consciousness. He is passionate about the welfare of the entire world and believes that kindness is the best religion.

Acharya believes that kindness to others is a form of kindness to the self and suggests that where there is kindness, there is

religion. With his inspiration, Ashok Jain, a noted social worker and industrialist of Vadodara, Gujarat, along with his wife Mrs Kamlesh Jain, built a grand accommodation to house a female elephant, Monika. This beautiful and artistic building, named ‘Manoharam Kunjari Vasati’ was unveiled at Kunjvan complex in February 2024. This is the first time in India that a Digambara Saint initiated this house of kindness.

Longest Kerala PSC Lecture

In a remarkable feat of dedication and perseverance, Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC) tutor Pradeep Mukhathala (40) marked his name in the Asia Book of Records (ABR) for conducting a non-stop lecture session for a staggering 24 hours. The program, aimed at empowering aspirants for the state examinations, was held on March 9 and 10, 2024, and was hosted by the Entri education app. The class was conducted in Sana Auditorium, Kollam, Kerala. The hall was full of KPSC aspirants. The attempt involved a 24-hour continuous lecture

marathon which started at 2 pm on March 9 and continued till 2 pm the next day. The training session was for upcoming Kerala PSC examinations like Lower Division Clerk (LDC), Lower Grade Supervisor (LGS), and Civil Police Officer (CPO).

Giving e-books a Boost

Looking for an eBook publisher in India can be an uphill task, especially for budding authors and novelists. The reason; new authors are not aware of the aspects of eBook publication, and therefore are clueless about ‘what to look for in a publisher?’

To understand self-publishing better, one needs to know its roots; how this space grew from insignificance to dominance. Self-publishing was not very popular in the country, at least in

the earlier decades. However, due to constant rejections and lack of transparency, certain popular authors published their books through a self-publisher. Many of these books went on to become bestsellers, a development that propelled online publishing in the country.

Suddenly, eBook publications started coming up all over the country, many of them pushing innocent newbies to opt for onesize-fits-all plans. The fundamental problem with pre-cooked plans is that they do not account for the genre of the book. This affects the book’s marketability. Simply put, an academic book needs to be marketed differently when compared with fiction, and so on. This lack of flexibility is the biggest drawback with eBook publishers in India. Getting a book published is only half the work done; selling it is the key to success. Considering these aspects, BFC Publications Pvt Ltd, Lucknow came forward to help the authors.

BFC Publications Pvt Ltd created a record for ‘publishing the maximum number of e-books in a single day’. They published 63 multiple titles under fiction and non-fiction as poetry, short stories, thrillers, motivational content, and many more in the form of e-books in a single day on February 10, 2024, to

provide different types of interesting content to the readers. The attempt was made on February 10, 2024, during the Koshala Literature Festival at La Martiniere College, Golf Club Hazratgunj, Lucknow. Their efforts were recognized by the India Book of Records and Asia Book of Records simultaneously. IBR adjudicator Pramil Dwivedi verified the claim and announced the record before presenting the publisher with the medals and certificates.

The genesis of BFC Publications traces back to 2020 when Sharad Bindal’s Amazon bestseller, Clash of Singularity, emerged

amidst the unprecedented challenges of the Covid-induced lockdown. Throughout his arduous journey in publishing the book, Sharad confronted numerous bottlenecks and hurdles, unveiling the manifold obstacles faced by budding authors. Driven by an unwavering commitment to addressing these issues, he founded BFC Publications, determined to be the voice of passionate storytellers yearning to be heard.

Since its establishment, BFC Publications has thrived as a leading force in the realm of self-book publishing. Fostering creativity and embracing innovation, the company has brought to life over 5,000 original book titles, empowering authors to showcase their distinctive narratives. Notably, 107 of these publications achieved remarkable success, attaining the coveted status of bestsellers. Additionally, BFC Publications has warmly welcomed more than 2,500 talented authors into its vibrant community, enabling them to share their stories with readers far and wide. This collective effort has resulted in the sale of over 2,00,000 book copies, solidifying BFC Publications’ position as a trailblazer in the Indian publishing landscape.

Living with the Third Heart

Heart transplants are performed to save the lives of patients suffering from end-stage heart failure or other severe heart conditions. However, the success of a heart transplant depends on various factors, including the patient’s overall health, the quality of the donor organ, surgical expertise, and post-transplant care. A man from Kerala was in the news recently for setting a record in the field of heart transplants. He was transplanted with the heart of a brain-dead patient. Girish Kumar PV, an IT professional and a native of Palakkad, Kerala, celebrated 10 years of his second heart transplant in the company of his doctors and well-wishers at Lisie Hospital in Kochi. He was felicitated with a medal and a record certificate by Narvijay Yadav, Adjudicator of the India Book of Records (IBR).

Kumar had undergone his first transplant at a hospital at the age of 38 in 2013. He expected life to be kind to him after the surgery. However, things took a turn when he suffered a heart attack again after eight months. The second transplant surgery, which lasted 12 hours, was performed at Lisie Hospital Kochi,

55 India Book of Records | May 2024
The record for being the first male to undergo two heart transplants successfully in India was set by Girish Kumar PV of Palakkad, Kerala, who completed 10 years after his second heart transplant at Lisie Hospital Kochi.

Kerala, on March 6, 2014, after he developed an infection in one of the heart valves and was admitted in a serious condition. As Dr Jose Chacko Periyapuram, the cardiothoracic surgeon who led the surgery, watched, Kumar received recognition from the India Book of Records for his fighting spirit and the 10th anniversary of his heart re-transplant surgery. He thanked all those who helped him in returning to normal life.

Kumar suffered from dilated cardiomyopathy, where heart muscles lose their elasticity and slowly get ballooned out. It’s a condition in which the heart becomes large and cannot pump

blood efficiently. He also suffered from Ankylosing Spondylitis and had a hip joint replacement eight months after the first transplant. After the second attack, the Kerala Network for Organ Sharing, an NGO, issued fervent appeals for organ donation. Soon, a doctors’ team harvested a heart from a braindead patient at the hospital.

“His first heart transplant surgery was performed in June 2013. As he was recovering after the surgery, his heart valve was damaged due to bacterial infection and he suffered a second heart attack. We informed him about the need for a second transplant, as there is a chance of recurrence of bacterial infection after valve replacement. Kumar was courageous enough to say yes to heart re-transplant surgery and the country’s first heart re-transplant surgery was held on March 6, 2014. It was a tough task. We were not sure about his second transplant. Getting a donor with the right match and age, all just fell in place at the right time. But still, it was a miracle. It was a rare and challenging procedure, looking at the world statistics,” said Dr Jose Chacko Periyapuram, senior consultant surgeon, department of cardiology, Lisie Hospital, Kochi.

“My life after the second heart surgery is normal. Struggles like these remind us how valuable life is. Everyone - the family, doctors, nurses, and friends - deserves this award. It is their care and support that helped me live this far. I am also thankful to the India Book of Records for the remarkable recognition,” said Kumar, who is an employee of Wipro, the Bengaluru-based IT company.

Desert Safari of Shekhawati

The Marwari horses’ inward curling ears make them unique.

A rare breed, it descends from the mounts of the famous Rajput warriors. This war horse is brave and loyal, apart from being an important and integral part of the local heritage. With these horses, 17 riders from different countries participated in a horse safari that started from Gajner on February 7, 2024. They passed through the interiors of Rajasthan, crossing dunes and small settlements, and reached Nagaur on February 12, where

the riders participated in the rural Nagaur cattle fair, under the guidance of Raghuvendra Singh Dundlod, covering a total distance of 350 kilometres in 6 days.

The adventurous journey set a new record enabling the Dundlod Safaris of Shekhawati to enter the glorious pages of the India Book of Records. During the 6-day horse safari, riders had lunch in villages along the way and spent the nights in camps. These camps were dismantled every morning to set up

again at a new site before 5 pm. At the felicitation program held at Ashoka Club, Jaipur, Raghuvendra Singh Dundlod, Mallyka Singh Dundlod, Preeti Verma, and Navneet Raj were honoured with certificates and medals by the India Book of Records adjudicator Raja Mookim. The operations manager of Dundlod Safaris, Sunaina Mishra was also present.

As a woman entrepreneur of regal lineage, Mallyka Singh’s passion for horses, the rich art culture of Shekhavati, and community uplift continue to drive her travel programs. She said, “When I look back, I realize and value how our ancestors

played a vital role in keeping our roots alive through their legendary stories. My fondest memories of growing up in Dundlod Fort are my childhood days with my grandfather, the late Lt Col Raghuvir Singh Dundlod. I still remember that after he retired from the Army, he came to the village and started farming at Dundlod.”

Established in 2019, Baisa’s Adventures was founded by Mallyka to carry forward the legacy of her father, Thakur Raghuvendra Singh Dundlod, who is the pioneer in reviving the Indigenous breed known as the Marwari horses all over India. He started Dundlod Safaris in 1985 and continues his legendary safaris in Rajasthan. Since tourism evolved in the Shekhawati region, this is the first time that many tourists don’t just visit this region for a stay at a fort, palace, or a haveli, but engage with the people of the village by indulging in various activities with them. There was a lot of work put into creating this platform where artisans are supported and local people continuously engage in getting trained to be tour guides in various experiences.

Mallyka further said, “At Baisa’s Adventures, we aim to provide an immersive experience to all our guests, which takes on an inward journey, enabling them to interact with the surrounding local environment, which is very different from the fast-paced world outside. The guests get to experience everything that is native to the Shekhawati region - indigenous ways of living, our culture, tradition, art, language, customs, and heritage, where we promote our local people by creating experiences that distinguish them and also give them back the identity that helps them to find themselves.”

Transmission of Spiritual Energy

Shaktipatam or Shaktipat refers in Hinduism to the transmission of spiritual energy upon one person by another or directly from the deity. Shaktipatam can be transmitted with a sacred word or mantra, or by a look, thought, or touch. Shaktipatam is considered an act of grace (Anugraha) on the part of the guru or the divine. It cannot be imposed by force, nor can a receiver make it happen. The very consciousness of the god or guru is held to enter into the self of the disciple, constituting an initiation into the school or the spiritual family (kula) of the guru. It is held that Shaktipatam can be transmitted in person or at a distance, through an object such as a flower or fruit.

Parama Pujya Sri Jeeveswara Yogi, founder of Siva Kundalini Sadhana Foundation, Hyderabad, Telangana, set the record for the maximum number of people who received blessings of Shaktipatam in a single night. A total of 2,316 participants from all age groups gathered at a single venue to receive the blessings of Shaktipatam from Guruji which started at 9.30 pm on March 8, 2024, and went on till 4 am on March 9, 2024, at the Siva Kundalini Ashram in Malkaram Village, Hyderabad. The record got a proud mention in the prestigious record-keeping books – India Book of Records (IBR) and Asia Book of Records (ABR). Adjudicator Vasudha Rani, representing the record books, verified the claim and handed over the medals and certificates to Guruji.

62 India Book of Records | May 2024

Jeeveswara Yogi was born with awakened kundalini. In his childhood, when he went to Srisailam for Siva Darsan, he unknowingly met his Guru for the first time which changed his life forever. He once went into deep Samadhi in his school during a meditation class. He practiced intense sadhana before attaining self-realization in the early stages of his life. When he wanted to undergo Jeeva Samadhi at a very young age, his Guru directed him to teach this divine sadhana to humanity. Then, he renounced his blooming professional career and decided to dedicate his life to teaching Siva Kundalini Sadhana to one and all.

He made immense efforts to simplify and optimize the sadhana methodology to make it easier and more effective for common people to learn and practice. Leading a humble family life, he teaches Siva Kundalini Sadhana to thousands of people. He organized the course content in such a way that anyone, whether he is new to meditation or has many years of practice, can take the course and get the utmost benefits at each level of the course. The safest and most organized form of practicing Kundalini Yoga is offered uniquely by Jeeveswara Yogi. It is one of the easiest, most practical, most powerful, result-oriented, and experiential ways of learning Kundalini Yoga in the presence of a self-realized and experienced master.

Yogi says, “There are many yogic practices in Bharat that can help a person attain self-realization. However, there are quite a few of them which can be practiced by everyone in all walks

of life and without any restrictions. Siva Kundalini Sadhana is a unique course that lets the sadhak experience higher states like Samadhi in a short time that otherwise takes several years of sadhana. Using this sadhana one can awaken his Kundalini Energy and activate the Chakras. Entering into Sushumna nadi is one of the most difficult achievements for a sadhak.”

Let every morning be the Hunza Morning

If you have decided to pick only one of my suggestions for the sake of your health, then take this suggestion:

Stop consuming tea specially, morning tea. The early morning tea makes the inner lining of your intestinal wall acidic, as after a long night of fasting your stomach is empty and craving for food. An acidic stomach on a regular basis is the single biggest cause of all kind of inflammatory and lifestyle diseases including arthritis, Diabetes etc.

How to stop craving of tea

Switch to Hunza Tea
