First in a new series of Photo Journeys, Sri Chinmoy TV celebrates Ashrita Furman's incredible Guinness World Record achievements.

2005 marks over 100 Guinness World Records for Ashrita: a multitude of imaginative and physically demanding feats across seven continents. Ashrita attributes his tremendous capacity for self-transcendence to studying meditation with Sri Chinmoy.

A collage of stunning imagery, this photographic tribute includes the fastest mile on a space hopper, balancing a pool cue on one finger, jumping rope with a pogo stick, standing on a Swiss ball, and balancing a milk bottle on the head.
