A fun interview with our Guinness World record holder Ashrita

Ashrita Furman became a student of Sri Chinmoy when he was just 16 years old, and has now been practising meditation for over 50 years.  In 1979, he started using the power of meditation and concentration to break Guinness World Records. Since then he has broken over 800 world records, 200 of which still stand - he holds more records than anyone else on earth.

Ashrita sets the record for longest distance balancing a baseball bat

This is a light-hearted interview with a local news station where you can see Ashrita attempt some records in his back garden....
