According to Guinness World Records, Sekar trained in a special form of yoga meditation called Pranayama to spend extended amounts of time underwater.
"This event was a turning point in my career. Now I'm stronger and ready to do more records," he said after the attempt. "My personal opinion is this underwater category is the most difficult, that's why I decided to do this first."
The Chennai man now plans to set more records. "I've started to learn how to ride a unicycle, it's the next biggest category in cubing and I have a plan to do it next year."
