Swami Ramdev vs. Me: Who actually broke the Bhastrika World Record?

Private high-ticket consultation & training (breath, tantra, sovereignty) only after written application: [email protected]

Research Question
What is the fastest publicly verifiable Bhastrika Pranayama performance in one minute that fully complies with the classical anatomical definition?

Primary Definitional Source
Bihar School of Yoga – Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha (Swami Satyananda Saraswati, 2008, p. 405):
“Forceful inhalation results from fully expanding the abdominal muscles… forceful exhalation from firm contraction of the abdominal muscles… the abdomen moves outward… the abdomen moves inward.”
→ Bhastrika is defined exclusively by visible abdominal/diaphragmatic pumping.

Current Public Claims (14 December 2025)

Claim: 302 strokes in 60 s (21 June 2020)
Video evidence: none publicly available → unverifiable

Swami Ramdev (@SwamiRamdevOfficial – 11.6 million subscribers)
Video:    • "Bhastrika Pranayama" 200 Hundred Strokes ...  
Claim: “200 strokes in one minute”
Observation: predominant shoulder/clavicular movement, no visible abdominal pumping
Conclusion: does not meet the classical definition of Bhastrika

Rajguru Narasimha Matangi (livestreamed attempt)
Livestream: https://www.youtube.com/live/pif6-G_6...
Date: 13 December 2025
Result: 193 full abdominal strokes in 60 s (3.22 strokes/second)
Verification: live streamed + timer + post-production stroke counter overlay

Conclusion
As of 14 December 2025, 193 abdominal strokes in 60 seconds is the fastest publicly verifiable performance that satisfies the classical definition published by the Bihar School of Yoga.
The two higher numerical claims either lack video evidence or do not use the required abdominal technique.

Respectful invitation
With full respect to Baba Ramdev ji and all previous record holders – this video is presented in the spirit of scientific transparency and love for authentic Hatha Yoga.
If anyone can demonstrate a higher count with equal or superior verification and correct form, please share the evidence. Science and yoga advance together.
