Ashrita Furman is 49 years old and lives in New York. In lots of ways he is very normal: he is 175 cm tall, he weighs about 75 kilos, and he works in a health food shop, where he is the manager. In other ways Ashrita is not normal. He has travelled to every continent in the world, where he has done some unusual and incredible things. For example, he has walked 130 kilometres /kilomijtəz/ with a bottle of milk on his head (the longest distance); and he has juggled with three balls underwater for 48 minutes and 36 seconds (the longest time). Currently he is in The Guinness Book of Records, with more than 20 different records. Why does he do these things? Firstly, Ashrita practises the Eastern art of meditation and he believes that this training can give people the ability to do incredible things. He also wants to make people laugh with the things he does. At the moment he’s training to push an orange with his nose for one mile in the fastest time ever! In his life Ashrita has broken more than 80 records. |
