The record was achieved as part of Chinmaya Amrit Mahotsav, the year-long celebration commemorating 75 years of the Chinmaya Movement. Inspired by the vision of Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda, the initiative sought to bring together people across the world through the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, transforming collective chanting into a shared expression of devotion, reflection and spiritual unity.

The initiative drew more than 75,000 registrations across 70 plus countries, with over 32,000 people joining live online chanting sessions. Following Guinness World Records' verification process, 8,277 participants met the record requirements. The achievement was made possible by the collective participation of children, youth, families, spiritual seekers and devotees worldwide, supported by nearly 1,000 trained volunteers who not only coordinated the sessions but also helped participants across age groups confidently navigate the online platform while ensuring compliance with the documentation protocols. Chinmaya Mission also expressed its heartfelt gratitude to Cisco Webex, the technology partner for the event, whose platform enabled participants from around the world to join seamlessly through more than 800 simultaneous online meetings, as well as to Geeta Pariwar, SGS Avadhoota Datta Peetham, and the global Chinmaya Mission family for their unwavering support and contribution to the initiative.
