A remarkable achievement in Vedic tradition has been made by 19-year-old Devvrat Mahesh Rekhe from Maharashtra, who successfully memorized and recited 2,000 sacred verses from the Shukla Yajurveda in the rare and complex Dandkarma Parayanam style. This extraordinary feat, accomplished after 12 years of rigorous preparation, has earned recognition from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, reviving an ancient spiritual discipline performed only three times in recorded history.
