India Set To Brk Yoga World Record Most Participants/ Diff Nationality

[KillChillPandey]

It’s not hard to drum up a crowd in India, the world’s largest democracy, but getting a horde to do the same thing, at the same time, is the stuff records are made of.

On Sunday, the Indian government will attempt to break a world record as it leads celebrations of the first International Day of Yoga.

Around 35,000 bureaucrats, soldiers and school children, among others, will lie on pink mats along the capital city’s premier avenue, Rajpath, and hold poses in sync in an attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest yoga class at a single venue.

The current title is held by 29,973 students from Gwalior, in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, who set a record in November 2005.

Sunday’s class in Delhi is the centerpiece of events taking place in 191 countries to mark the first international day dedicated to yoga, which the United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon, has described as offering “a simple, accessible and inclusive means to promote physical and spiritual health and well-being.”

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi championed the idea of a global day to celebrate yoga and proposed it during his speech to the U.N. General Assembly in New York in September. Mr. Modi practices yoga each morning and in the run up to June 21 has been tweeting pictures of poses or asanas to overcome stress and anger, among other things.

As Guinness World Records involving yoga go, Sunday’s attempt is fairly conservative.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Indians hold a number of the world records for yoga feats, including, probably the wackiest: the highest number of consecutive yoga positions performed on a motorcycle.

Abhayjit Mehlawat, a stuntman, performed 50 poses, including 10 facing backwards, while riding a motorbike in Jabalpur, in Madhya Pradesh, over 3.1 miles.

An Indian, Yogaraj C.P., holds the record for the longest male yoga marathon, which lasted more than 40 hours and contained over 1,200 positions.  He set the record in Hong Kong in 2015.

The largest yoga class at multiple venues took place in Karnataka in southern India in December 2013 and involved 62,824 participants. The longest yoga chain, with 3,849 people measuring 3,852 meters, was created in Tamil Nadu just under a year later.
