Excerpt: “Reciting poetry in Zulu may not seem like much of a talent, but it landed Ashrita Furman in the record books – yet again….. Furman, 54, of Jamaica, Queens, became the first person to hold 100 Guinness Book of World Records simultaneously Tuesday after assembling a group that recited a poem in 111 languages at City Hall Park. The bunch took turns reading ‘Precious,’ by the late Indian spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy.”
