23 global records set on Yoga Day: Naidu

Visakhapatnam: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday said that the state set 23 global records - two Guinness Records and 21 World Book of Records - on the 11th International Yoga Day on Saturday. Speaking to the media persons after performing yoga along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Naidu said 3.03 lakh people have gathered here to perform the ancient lifestyle art, creating a world record for most people performing yoga at a single location. 'A total of 23 global records comprising 21 World Book of Records and two Guinness Records were created,' said Naidu, elaborating on the yoga day feats. However, the exact number of participants will be announced by the Guinness World Records authorities, he said. Describing the 11th International Day of Yoga celebration as a grand success, Naidu expressed joy over 22,122 tribal students simultaneously performing 108 Surya namaskar for 108 minutes in one location, thus creating the second Guinness World Record. This feat was achieved on Friday at Andhra University. 'Today, Visakhapatnam saw two mighty oceans, with Bay of Bengal on one side, and a boundless sea of yoga practitioners on the other. I joined Prime Minister Narendra Modi and lakhs of citizens to celebrate International Yoga Day and mark the success of our Yogandhra campaign,' said Naidu. He thanked Modi for giving the opportunity to host this event and for his 'inspiring presence'. 'This historic gathering shows our commitment to health through the power of yoga. I commend every participant, organiser, and volunteer who made this record-breaking event possible. Let's keep moving forward towards a healthier and happier Andhra Pradesh with regular yoga practice,' he said. We have created history. This is a super hit, he said, adding that the state government expected about two crore registrations from across the state to perform yoga on Saturday, but the number shot up to 2.45 crore. He also said that 1.8 crore people are eligible to receive certificates for participating in yoga activities for one to three days. Overjoyed by these big numbers, the CM asserted that people will not turn up unless they find something beneficial, adding that the decade-long efforts of Modi have fructified.
