Vipassana Meditation Centers in India

The first meditation center in this tradition established outside of Burma was begun by Mr. Goenka in 1975 at Igatpuri, a small village 100km northeast of Bombay, in the State of Maharashtra. As the technique has florished and spread throughout India and the rest of the world, there are now numerous Centers within India itself. While some of these Centers are in various states of development, many offer the same 10 Day courses in all languages, including the regional Indian language where the Center is located. In India Centers are located at the locations set forth below. A current schedule of 10 Day courses is provided at each Center for which it is available.
