(Three legends in one frame from 24 years ago: the Commanding Officers of the world’s two most elite special forces, Israel and the USA.)<\/em><\/p>\n Washington DC, USA – <\/strong>In a definitive move towards transparency and the formal documentation of India’s special forces training history, official records from the Indian Navy<\/strong> and the Ministry of Defence (MoD)<\/strong> have formally verified a significant chapter involving the elite MARCOS (Marine Commandos)<\/strong>. A series of formal records, including a Letter of Appreciation (2015)<\/strong> and a subsequent RTI Response (2025)<\/strong>, confirm that Grandmaster Shifuji Shaurya Bhardwaj<\/strong> provided specialized, pro-bono mentoring to the commandos at INS Abhimanyu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n RTI Verification: Official Disclosure via INS Abhimanyu<\/strong><\/p>\n In an effort to ensure absolute factual accuracy, Grandmaster Shifuji Shaurya Bhardwaj<\/strong> himself initiated a formal inquiry under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005<\/strong>, to verify the official Demi-Official (DO)<\/strong> records of his training engagement. The official response, issued in August 2025 (Reference: 100 dt Aug 25)<\/strong> by Commander Vivek Bhatt<\/strong>, Executive Officer, for the Commanding Officer of INS Abhimanyu<\/strong> (Naval Station Karanja, Mumbai), provides contemporary legal confirmation of the historical engagement.<\/p>\n In the official disclosure, the Navy explicitly states: “The training was conducted at INS Abhimanyu as per DO letter ibid.”<\/em> Furthermore, regarding the financial nature of the training, the unit confirmed: “No records are held with this unit,”<\/em> which officially supports the fact that the high-level mentoring was provided entirely free of cost<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The 2015 ‘Month-Long Capsule’: A High-Intensity Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n The original Letter of Appreciation (Letter No. 242\/AN\/15)<\/strong>, signed by Captain Atul<\/strong>, the then-Commanding Officer of INS Abhimanyu, confirms that Grandmaster Shifuji was associated with the elite unit for a “period of one month” in 2015.<\/p>\n While the specific tactical details remain protected and classified, the nature of MARCOS<\/strong> training cycles allows for a logical analysis of the intensity involved. For an elite special force, a specialized “capsule” typically involves a minimum of 15 hours of training daily<\/strong>. Over a 30-day period, this equates to an estimated 450 hours of high-intensity mentoring<\/strong>. This volume of training represents an extraordinary commitment to the “lethality” and “agility” of the force, as noted in the Commanding Officer’s original commendation.<\/p>\n Official Endorsement of Combat Capability<\/strong><\/p>\n In the 2015 formal letter, Captain Atul<\/strong> provided a detailed breakdown of the value brought to the unit. The Commanding Officer specifically appreciated Grandmaster Shifuji for:<\/p>\n Legacy of Pro-Bono National Service<\/strong><\/p>\n The documentation regarding Grandmaster Shifuji’s association with INS Abhimanyu<\/strong> and the MARCOS<\/strong> serves as a benchmark for pro-bono contribution to national security. Known globally as the Inventor of the Commandos Mitti System<\/strong> and one of the world’s most high-value mentors, “Masterji” has consistently maintained a policy of providing his services to India’s armed and paramilitary forces without any professional fees.<\/p>\n For researchers, historians, and the public, these documents—ranging from the 2015 commendations to the 2025 RTI disclosures—serve as the final, official word on this elite mentoring engagement.<\/p>\n Q&A<\/strong><\/p>\n Q: Did the Ministry of Defence verify Grandmaster Shifuji Shaurya Bhardwaj’s training of MARCOS?<\/strong><\/p>\n A:<\/strong> Yes. An RTI response from the Indian Navy (INS Abhimanyu) in August 2025 confirmed that the training took place in 2015 as per official DO records.<\/p>\n Q: What is the official RTI reference for this verification?<\/strong><\/p>\n A:<\/strong> The RTI was filed on 07 July 2025<\/strong>, and the response was issued by Commander Vivek Bhatt<\/strong> (Executive Officer) under reference 100 dt Aug 25<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Q: Was the training of the Indian Navy Marine Commandos free of cost?<\/strong><\/p>\n A:<\/strong> Yes. The Navy’s RTI response stated “no records are held” regarding payment, confirming the pro-bono nature of the mentoring.<\/p>\n Q: How many hours did the MARCOS training capsule last?<\/strong><\/p>\n A:<\/strong> While the exact hours are classified, the one-month duration for an elite force suggests an assumption of approximately 450 hours<\/strong> of training based on standard 15-hour daily cycles.<\/p>\n ABOUT MISSION PRAHAR<\/strong><\/p>\n Mission Prahar was founded by Grandmaster Shifuji Shaurya Bhardwaj (Masterji) with the primary goal of training 1 crore Indian women in reality-based self-defence survival tactics. It utilizes the “Mission Prahar Training System” (MPTS) and the “Commandos Mitti System,” focusing on street survival rather than sports-based martial arts. The training is consistently provided free of cost to women and the armed forces across India.<\/p>\n Media Contact<\/span> (Three legends in one frame from 24 years ago: the Commanding Officers of the world’s two most elite special forces, Israel and the USA.)
