Mysuru: Pranav S, a 12-year-old student studying in the seventh standard at Capitol Public School in Mysuru, has entered the International Book of Records for reciting the most names of Lord Ganesha while solving a 3×3 Rubik’s Cube in a short amount of time.

Pranav made his entry into the International Book of Records as the fastest person to solve a 3×3 Rubik’s Cube while reciting 65 names of Lord Ganesha in alphabetical order. He accomplished this feat in just 1 minute and 6 seconds. Pranav, who has always been eager to undertake new challenges, started reciting the names of Ganesha the last summer while practicing the Rubik’s Cube.

While solving the Rubik’s Cube, I decided to start reciting the names of Ganesha. Before long, I became familiar with the various names of Lord Ganesha. Now that I’ve entered the International Book of Records, in the upcoming days—perhaps by next summer—I aspire to set a Guinness World Record by reciting Lord Ganesha’s name in just 30 seconds,” added Pranav, who also taught himself Python. He has a keen interest in computer programming, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

Pranav’s talents extend beyond the Rubik’s Cube; he’s also an exceptional Karate player who has earned medals in various competitions. He takes pride in being the son of KT Swamy, an advocate, and Sowmya Channaiah, who works at JSS Mahavidyapeetha.
