Inspired by the world's heaviest Sri madbhagwad geeta (800 kgms, 9feet high) placed in Iscon Temple, Delhi & prepared in Milaan City of Itley at a cost of Rupees Two Crore, inventor of Eternal calendar, 72 years old. Advocate, Madan Mohan Vats has come out with world's longest Srimadbhagwadgeeta written by him on 15mm wide 1365 meters long, E126/T-90 casset ribbon weighing 510 gms only. The total length of the tape and the time taken in writing the material was noted down.
700 shalokas of all the 18 Chapters of Srimadbhagwadgeeta & related texts, published by Geeta Press, Gorakhpur & each Sanskrit shaloka followed by its verse, prepared by Geeta Manishi Swamy Gyananand Ji including the brief thoughts of 20 eminent thinkers like Mahatma Gandhi, Madan Mohan Malviya, Balgangadhar & Lokmanya Tilak etc etc. have been written by Mr. Vats with acrylic Colour and triple zero brush by devoting 905 working hours. He used 10 VHS cassets to complete the job.(SUBHEAD)
To make it readable, the ribbon passes through a specially designed double acrylic sheet 2″ x 12″, joined with two mounted 10″ diameter cassets on two vertical stands. The speed of the ribbon can be controlled by two 12 Volts motors & a battery.
Mr. Vats has a passion to present Geeta ji in different forms. Earlier he has presented the Geeta in Sanskrit on 44″ x 29″ single paper sheet & then on a sheet of 29″ x 14″ in Verse form. The other presentation is a print of all the shalokas on artificial peepal tree leaves tucked on artificial tree. These presentations can be seen in the museum of Geeta Gyan Sansthanam, Kurukshetra.
Mr. Vats hopes that very shortly, he is going to present Geetaji on actual & real peepal tree leaves in the form of 3% feet high book and then tucking them on a 9-10 feet high tree, having 18 branches made out of Saw dust.
