More than 25,000 tribal students from Alluri Sitarama Raju district took part in a massive yoga session in Visakhapatnam on Friday and created a new world record. The record may be officially announced on Saturday. Some of the students who participated in the session had undergone rigorous training for three to four months, but some others had only a few weeks to prepare. Before the session, the students were given yoga mats and issued barcodes, which were scanned to mark attendance. Under the guidance of senior yoga instructor Pathanjali Srinivas Rao, the participants started the session with ‘Omkaram’ and completed 108 Surya Namaskars in 108 minutes.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandra Babu Naidu shared a video of this and wrote – A powerful message of health and harmony to the world from the children of Andhra Pradesh! Today, 25,000 bright young stars from our tribal communities have created history by performing Surya Namaskar together, setting an extraordinary Guinness World Record for ‘Most number of people performing Surya Namaskar simultaneously at one place’. I am extremely proud of their discipline and dedication. This achievement is a shining symbol of their strength and our shared commitment to promote health and mindfulness through yoga.
