11-06-2026

(worldkings.org) The Asia Book of Records (ABR) confirmed the record for the “Maximum People Performing Bhujangasana Simultaneously”, achieved by the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga, operating under the Ministry of Ayush, Government of India. The record-setting event took place at Kanha Shanti Vanam in Telangana, India, where an impressive 7,080 participants performed the Bhujangasana yoga posture at the same time. The achievement was officially confirmed on May 2, 2026.

Bhujangasana, commonly known as the Cobra Pose, is one of the most recognized and widely practiced yoga postures. The pose resembles a cobra raising its hood and is traditionally associated with strength, vitality, and inner awakening. Within yogic philosophy, Bhujangasana is often linked to Kundalini energy, a powerful spiritual force believed to reside at the base of the spine. Practitioners regard the posture as a symbol of transformation, consciousness, and personal growth.

The record-setting event demonstrated remarkable coordination and organization. Bringing together 7,080 individuals to perform the same posture simultaneously required extensive planning and disciplined execution. Participants moved in unison, creating a powerful visual representation of collective focus, harmony, and commitment. The synchronized practice showcased not only physical coordination but also the shared spirit of mindfulness that lies at the heart of yoga.

Beyond its numerical achievement, the event carried a deeper message about the value of yoga in contemporary society. The mass participation highlighted yoga’s ability to unite people from different backgrounds through a common practice centered on health, self-awareness, and well-being. It also reinforced the growing global recognition of yoga as a holistic discipline that supports both physical fitness and mental balance.

According to the record citation, the synchronized Bhujangasana session symbolized Kundalini energy, vitality, and inner awakening while emphasizing unity, discipline, and collective mindfulness. These themes reflect the broader philosophy of yoga as a transformative practice that promotes harmony between body and mind.

With 7,080 participants performing Bhujangasana simultaneously, the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga has achieved a significant milestone recognized by the Asia Book of Records. The accomplishment stands as a powerful testament to yoga’s enduring cultural heritage and its continuing role as a unifying force for holistic health and well-being around the world.
