13-Year-Old Jain Monk Recalls 100 Questions in Reverse and Random Order, Sets World Record in Indore

A 13-year-old Jain monk set a new world record on Sunday by recalling 100 audience questions in direct, reverse, and random order after a gap of over two hours. The feat was achieved during a Shatavdhan (century of mindfulness) programme at Abhay Prashal Stadium on Race Course Road, Indore, in front of more than 6,000 spectators and a panel of scientists, judges, doctors, chartered accountants, and spiritual leaders from across India.
Organised under the banner of Tilkeshwar Parshwanath Teerth Religious Trust, the event witnessed young monk Vijaychandra Sagar answering all 100 questions in just 17 minutes and 4 seconds, after they were posed over a span of nearly 2 hours and 17 minutes.
The Golden Book of World Records announced the event would be recorded under five separate categories. Organisers also submitted a claim to the Guinness World Records.
The Golden Book of World Records presented a provisional certificate on stage to monk.

Questions Asked Across Ten Categories
Audience members from different blocks of the stadium posed 10 questions each, grouped across ten themes:
Round 1: Jain religious facts – including birthplace of Lord Maninath, Mahavir’s first sermon, and karmic theory.
Round 2: Indian rivers and mountains.
Round 3: Names of 10 countries.
Round 4: Indian states.
Round 5: Jain scriptural verses (Panch Pratikraman).
Round 6: Mathematics – verified by 10 chartered accountants.
Round 7: Object and image recognition – monk identified items like a watch, helmet, teddy bear, and images shown from the stage.
Round 8: Numerical puzzles, including a 9-square grid summing to 25 in every direction.
Round 9: Fragrance identification and sound-based object recall amid bell sounds.
Round 10: Questions involving complex symbols like Sarvatobhadra Yantra and the final challenge of aligning five rotating symbols to identical sums.
Upcoming Session for Indore Children
Gurudev Dr. Ajitchandra Sagar announced a training session for Indore children on September 21 at the Basketball Complex. Hosted by the Saraswati Sadhana Research Foundation, it will involve 36 days of online training for children and 72 days for adults – with 30 minutes of daily practice.
