Four years old Raghavendra Sahu of Dhenkanal district , Odisha recently hogged the limelight as he made his way to the India’s Book of Record. The prodigy made the record by reciting 11 hymns, 18 G.K. questions, 2 Hindi rhymes, singing 2 Bollywood songs, answering 20 questions on the Ramayana and 17 questions on Lord Krishna, at the age of four years four month.
Raghavendra is born to Manas kumar Sahu(state head at a pharmacetical company) and Kalpana Sahu(Assistant Professor at a Private Engineering college) of Dhenkanal town.
“It is indeed a wonderful experience for us to be recognised by the name of our son, Raghavendra Sahu. The meaning of Raghavendra is Lord SriRam and he is also very much inclined to mythology. He is very affectionate and talkative too.
As we both are working parents, he spends most of his time with his grandparents which proved to be a blessing. He listens mythological stories regularly that added more value during lock down last year when he watched Ramayan and Mahabharat. He remembers everything easily, so we tried a quiz on Ramayan and Krishna and the attempt was successful. Enchanting hymns is his hobby.
Every child has some unique potential and parents need to identify and focus on them. I believe that grandparents make a child better, ” expressed Manas Kumar Sahu and Kalpana Sahu, parents of Raghavendra.
