This is the story of a record holder Vikas Swami who has attained distinguished distinction for lifting the maximum weight with mouth in handstand position, but now is struggling to meet his two ends meet as his family including wife and three kids are finding it difficult to earn two times meal.
The family is staying in a deplorable condition after Vikas lost his job during COVID period.
This boy from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh lifted 80 kg weight with his mouth in handstand position, as confirmed on March 6, 2021 and made a record in India Book of Records.
According to him, he learned the yoga traits by reading Baba Ramdev book and soon excelled in this domain. In fact, he dedicated his life to yoga as at a time when he was not doing and was denied any kind of treatment by doctors, it was yoga which helped him lead a normal healthy life.
Soon he became so adept in the art that he lifted 80 kg weight with mouth in handstand position.
The boy was working as a school driver but due to COVID, he lost his job.
During childhood, he had to drop out from school after 8th class to help his father to meet family expenses and to pay a huge loan his father has taken.
His son, Anmol, is in fact also a record holder as he set a record for being in the Chakrasana pose (while balancing on one finger) for the longest duration. He remained in the Chakrasana pose while balancing on the index finger of his left hand for 42 seconds, as confirmed on October 13, 2021.
Now Vivek and Anmol both seek help from society to respect their talent and help the family in difficult times.
