JALNA, INDIA, August 21, 2003: Twenty-eight-year-old music teacher, Prasad Shriram Choudhary, has entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for continuously playing tabla for 46 hours. A certificate and letter were sent congratulating Prasad for successfully setting a new World Record on April 15-16 of this year. He had already been included in India’s Limca Book of World Record. Determined to set the record, Prasad practised rigorously to sit continuously for 50 hours. However, he made it up to 46 hours. Prasad, a disciple of Pandit Satishchandra Chaudhary, an artist with the All India Radio, runs Bhagwan Maharaj Pimpalgaonkar Sangeet Vidyalaya where he teaches music to about 100 students. “I will use my experience and achievement for the growth of music in Jalna as well as in Maharashtra,” said Prasad. His performance was monitored by at least 13 supervisors, the gazetted officers of the state government and six doctors.
