Our brain is a peculiar organ. It is as gullible as it is intelligent. It soars ups when optimistic thoughts and ideas are fed to it. It makes us believe that anything is possible. For it the sky is the limit, and when thoughts are followed up with systematic action, then great feats are achieved and phenomenal records are set.
At India Book of Records, we have numerous such record holders who have trained their brain and mind through endurance, patience and practice. They have become capable of doing many things at the same time, without missing a beat. We have curated some of our most amazing records, where young minds have achieved marvellous feats through memory training. Read on!
Maximum periodic table elements recited by a child while reverse pedalling on a stationary bicycle
We all know how to cycle, but Shreshta Venugopal (born on June 12, 2017) of Bengaluru, Karnataka has used her memory techniques for breaking records. She retrained her mind to reverse pedalling on a stationary bicycle and simultaneously recite a maximum number of 108 elements from the periodic table. She achieved this memorable feat in just 44 seconds and 85 milliseconds, at the tender age of 7 years, 5 months and 14 days. She masterfully put her brain to perform both a physical and mental activity together and do both the activities exceptionally well.
Youngest to rappel down Kokankada cliff at Harishchandra Fort
One factor which often makes us go numb and frigid is fear. What happens when you rewire your brain to be fearless? You achieve a superpower which helps you set a mind-blowing record. Our fearless record holder, Prithviraj Shital Dashrath Patekar of Pune, Maharashtra became the youngest to rappel down Kokankada cliff at Harishchandra Fort at the young age of only 5 years, 11 months and 5 days. He started rappelling down Kokankada cliff at 1.00 p.m., descended a distance of 1,800 feet, and ended the rappelling at 1.35 p.m. on January 18, 2026. He performed this daunting task under adult supervision.
Longest duration to perform the Raja Bhujangasana yoga pose on a monkey bar by a child
Physical pain and endurance train human brains to push boundaries and achieve phenomenal physical feats. Amyra Sharma of Panipat, Haryana, was able to set a record at India Book of Records for performing the Raja Bhujangasana yoga pose on a monkey bar for the longest duration, after amply training to endure pain. At a budding age of 7 years 7 months and 27 days, she resiliently performed the Raja Bhujangasana yoga pose (King Cobra pose) on a monkey bar (measuring 4.5 m in length, 0.6 m in width and 2 m in height from the ground) for 15 minutes and 28 seconds.
Maximum questions answered on Hindu Mythology by a kid
Sannidhi Bitragunta of Chennai, Tamil Nadu set a record of answering the maximum number of questions on Hindu Mythology. She answered 215 questions on Hindu Mythology in 12 minutes and 40 seconds, while being only 6 years, 9 months and 17 days. She set this exemplary record by working on increasing her memory retention techniques. Apart from setting a memory based record in India, she also sends this message that we should be connected to our roots and histories.
Cube roots of maximum numbers mentally calculated and written by a teen in one minute
A child’s mental capabilities are exhibited from a very young age in different ways. For some it is language, literature, physical activities or scientific experiments. But for Mallukuntla Puneeth Sai Reddy, it is mathematics which tickles his mind. Hailing from Bengaluru, Karnataka, he set a record of mentally calculating cube roots of maximum numbers in one minute, setting a mental arithmetic record under India Book of Records.
He mentally calculated and penned down the cube roots of 42 (four to nine digit) numbers (under the guidance of VMAT Academy, Bengaluru), at the age of 10 years, 1 month and 9 days.
At India Book of Records, we always strive to bring to fore such rare talents, which require retraining your brain, memory improvement and overcoming the basic human vices. Especially so when it is accomplished by young children.
Each of these children, most of whom are still in single digits when it comes to their ages, remind us that our brain is not merely an organ. It is a powerhouse, which with the right amount of fuel can set milestones.
People are surely born with innate talents, but to recognise those talents and to improve them through grit, determination and hours of practice deserve a heavy set of applause. Like all the record holders mentioned above, who have set amazing records in pedalling, rappelling, memorising, performing yoga and playing with numbers, you too can create a place of your own in our record book.
If you too have achieved an extraordinary human feat through practice, patience and perseverance, then don’t shy away from this opportunity of flaunting it in front of the entire world.
