A Yoga expert from Mumbai has broken the world record for doing non-stop Kapalbhati at one go. Sunil Bhujbal, working in ADG (AIR & DD)(WZ) office Mumbai, performed the exercise for 1 hour 30 minutes, which is a new record in the Limca Book Of Records. The previous record of 1 hour 21 minutes was achieved by M P Ramesh Babu from Mysore, Karnataka on 26 June 2017.
But this isn't the only record Bhujbal broke. Along with doing non-stop Kapalbhati, he also broke the record of sitting in Padmasan for the longest duration and doing the most number of Kapalbhati strokes, which came to a minimum of 20,500. Bhujbal is a member of the organization Yoga Vidya Niketan. He performed the feat at Damle Yoga Kendra in Matunga. A group of people had turned up as early as 7 am in the morning to witness the event.
Speaking after his achievement, he said, "You need determination in learning. You need to make your rib cage strong so that your passive inhalation should be maintained. If not, you will feel suffocated. In Yoga Vidya Niketan we are told that fixation of chest is very important. The message is given here and I followed that." Bhujbal has few other Yoga related records in his name. One of which is carrying out the maximum number of Kapalbhati strokes, which is 4833, in 21 minutes, which he achieved in June 2018.
The event also had few doctors who did Bhujbal's check-up before and after his activity. Dr Madhuri Gurjar, one of the doctors, spoke about his medical condition. "His determination and fitness has amazed us doctors. This is an astonishing experiment from the medical point of view. After checking his vitals before he broke the record and after, one truth that has come in front of us is that there is no better way than Yoga to maintain good health."
Bedekar sir, the seniormost teacher at Damle Yoga Kendra, said, "Bhujbal should maintain his capacity and should increase it so that next year he can break another record. He is an asset to Yoga Vidya Niketan."
