Rathakrishnan Velu, a Malaysian who is nicknamed "King Tooth" or "Raja Gigi", has bettered his world record for pulling a train with his teeth. On the eve of Malaysia's 50th Independence Day, Raja Gigi broke his own world record by pulling a train with 6 coaches attached, weighing 300 tonnes over a distance of 2.8 metres, using a steel rope clenched in his mouth at the Old Kuala Lumpur Railway Station. This is a new world record for the heaviest weight pulled with teeth in the world. (Click to enlarge image)
Raja Gigi, from Tampin in Malaysia learned a technique of concentrating his powers to any part of his body from an Indian guru at a young age of 14.
“I don’t know what toothpaste he uses but I am sure a lot companies will be looking to endorse their products from Rathakrishnan.” said Maximus Ongkili, a Cabinet minister, who was an eyewitness to the feat.
Just before his attempt, Rathakrishnan closed his eyes, took deep breaths, and held his left index finger against his nose and right index finger against his chest. Then he touched his forehead and the top of his head before sitting on the ground to begin reports the Daily Mail.
Dozens of spectators were cheering and clapping as Velu sat down and pulled the train, grasping both tracks for support, pushing his feet against the wooden beams to thrust himself backwards.
Rathakrishnan also holds the previous world record for the heaviest weight pulled with teeth when he dragged a lighter 260.8 ton train over 13 feet, 9.3 inches (4.2 meters) on October 18, 2003.
Rathakrishnan — a strict vegetarian ethnic Indian — attributes his strength to an Indian form of meditation and daily jaw training. He also runs at least 25 kilometers and lifts bars up to 250 kilos.
