Meet 19-year-old Devavrat Rekhe From Maharashtra Who Rekindled A Lost Vikruti Recitation In Kashi
To understand the magnitude of Devavrat Mahesh Rekhe’s achievement, one must first appreciate the extraordinary discipline required to undertake the Dandakrama Parayanam. In the 21st century, where distractions dominate the daily life of most teenagers, Devavrat chose instead to immerse himself in a world of rigorous chanting, ascetic discipline, and spiritual concentration. The feat he has accomplished is so demanding that only a handful of instances exist in documented history, and even those occurred generations ago. Yet this 19-year-old has managed to bring a nearly extinct oral tradition back into the national conversation, with scholars describing his performance as a revival of a “lost civilisational skill.”
