Read: 'Discovering Global Harmony' - Ashrita's recent record attempts - including longest time standing on a rolling globe barefoot - over 40 minutes
"....Back to the record attempt. The time flew by. When Steve called out, “40 minutes”, I suddenly remembered that there were only 4 minutes of tape left. Vinaya made a frantic search for another video camera and tape but, amidst all the hubbub, I lost my concentration and fell off the ball with only a few seconds left on the tape. It didn’t matter. I was elated and so grateful to have been blessed with such a powerful experience of self-transcendence...." - from Ashrita's blog
