Hisar: Sandeep Arya, a yoga practitioner from Haryana, set a world record by performing Surya Namaskar for 37 hours at a stretch. He has already entered the Guinness World Records, the London Book of Records, and the World Book of Records for his remarkable endurance.

Sandeep has been organising programs across the country to help youth get over drug addiction and return to fitness. He is also spreading awareness about the benefits of yoga under the 'India Fit' campaign.

Scientists around the world are also astonished by this remarkable feat. Krzysztof Stek, a renowned scientist from Poland, conducted research on Sandeep's body for 15 days at the Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana in Bengaluru. Stek said the findings will be presented to the world, and a book on Sandeep will be published.

The research revealed that Sandeep's liver, kidneys, and heart were 100% healthy. Even after practising Surya Namaskar for nearly 10 hours non-stop, he did not experience fatigue, high blood pressure, or irregular heartbeat. His stamina was so incredible that he abstained from food for 15 days before the research, practising solely on coconut water.

"Surya Namaskar is not just an exercise, but a way of life. With discipline, dedication, and motivation, even ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things," Sandeep said.

He has been felicitated by the Haryana sports minister, the Gujarat Chief Minister, the Gujarat Governor, the Uttarakhand Chief Minister, the Haryana Governor, the Swadeshi Ratna in Delhi, and Swami Ramdev's Trust.

He has participated in approximately 10,000 programs so far, including youth awareness campaigns and health and fitness programs. In Haryana alone, he has actively participated in 4,000 programs.
