GUWAHATI: In a bid to popularize a unique yoga technique, Plavini Pranayam, a city duo plan to create a world record by floating on water in a sitting position for the longest time ever. Munidra Sarma and Hitesh Sarma of Nalbari are now practising a hundred-hour long 'float on water' show and get their names into the Guinness Book of World Records.
The duo on Tuesday demonstrated a five-hour long show at Bimala Prasad Chaliha Swimming Pool in Nehru stadium here, where they floated in the pool to impress the crowd. Munidra and Hitesh have announced they will set a record by floating on water for 108 hours by the end of this year and have already contacted the Guinness World Records authorities.
"We have been practising Plavini Pranayam since 1995. It is a yoga breathing technique that allows experts to float on water after years of practice. We perfected this pranayam technique only in 2007. Now, we want to popularize it by setting a world record by floating for 108 hours," said Munidra.
The Guinness authorities are expected to give Munidra and Hitesh a place to demonstrate their art within the next month. "We will need a pond or a stagnant water body to demonstrate this unique yoga art. The place where we will be setting the record has not been decided yet. During the time of our demonstration, we will not take any kind of food as Plavini Pranayam allows one to go without food for days. It also helps blood circulation, cleans all the internal abdominal organs effectively and counters diseases," said Hitesh Sarma.
The duo has already showcased Plavini Pranayam in places like Chandan Sarovar, Kamakhya temple, New Delhi, Puri and many other places. "Yoga is a poplar form of exercise in today's world. But yoga can give one more than just physical fitness. It's a dedication and inspires you to go beyond physical limitations," said the duo.
