Sandeep Arya Jangra (Major Record: 20,000 Surya Namaskars nonstop (36h 21m))

Sandeep Arya Jangra, a determined and disciplined youth from Faridpur village, Hisar district, Haryana, has transformed his life through sheer willpower, unwavering dedication, and the power of yoga. Born around 17 May 1995 into a modest household, Sandeep lost his mother Krishna Devi at a young age. Raised by his father Dharmpal Jangra, a carpenter by profession, and supported by his elder brothers, Sandeep's early life was filled with challenges that shaped his resilience.

Yoga & Early Inspiration

Sandeep’s journey into yoga began in 2010 through the platform of Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev, where he learned the art of Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation). What started as a practice soon became a mission. For the past 15 years, he has practiced Surya Namaskar consistently, dedicating himself to pushing his physical and mental limits.

Extraordinary World Records

In May 2025, Sandeep set a new world record by performing 20,000 consecutive Surya Namaskars over 36 hours and 21 minutes during an event held in Motera, Gujarat. This achievement shattered his own previous record of 15,000 Surya Namaskars. His feat earned him entries in the Guinness Book of World Records, Limca Book of Records, and the America–London Book of Records.

During this physically demanding challenge, he lost nearly 15 kilograms, going from 65 kg to around 50 kg. Behind this record was a rigorous daily routine — 6 to 8 hours of practice involving intense physical endurance and mental strength.

From Struggles to Stardom

Despite coming from a humble background with limited resources, Sandeep carved his name on the global stage. His journey proves that determination and discipline can transcend circumstances. He has been crowned World Champion six times and holds seven world records, making him one of the rare athletes to achieve such a feat through Surya Namaskar alone.

Honors & Global Recognition

Sandeep’s achievements have been recognized by Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, and Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev. His extraordinary physical and mental capabilities have also attracted international attention — scientists from Poland have expressed interest in conducting research studies on his performance and endurance.
