I am glad report that on 3rd January, 2019, I have presented a Talk and Workshop on Meditation in general with specialization on Vipassana Meditation to a selected group of about 50 Seniors and Juniors in Jorhat. I am glad to note that among the participants was also a local Xotradhikar who showed keen interest in the Vipassana meditation.
Vipassana is the original meditation that Buddha created for his own enlightenment and which is quite different from Yoga meditation of Patanjali. It is a simple breath meditation but which has great impact on the physical and mental life of an individual. This Vipassana meditation in its original form was was lost in India for several centuries and which was recently rediscovered in Myanmar. Credit for this discovery and and its revival goes to the indusdrialist late S. N. Goenka. Today Vipassana is a very popular meditation which is being given freely to various company executives in India. Today there are about 200 Vipassana centers all over the world which is given free of cost. In the North East, there are Vipassana Meditation centers in Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram. At present a center is under construction in North Guwahati. In the USA, there are free Vipassana Meditation centers in major cities. For those who live in Houston, nearest Vipassana Meditation centers are in Waco and Dallas in Texas.
