Dhamma Madhura Vipassana Meditation Centre

I attended the 31st March 2021 to 11th April 2021 10 days course.nThe course ended one day prior to the scheduled date due to COVID.nnThe centre:nThe centre is surrounded on 3 sides by the Sirumalai hills. But the climate is a little hot when I was there. It is 4KM from the highway, you need an auto to reach the centre. Auto costs 80-100 rupees.nThe centre is well-maintained & neat although I didn't find anyone sweeping and cleaning the corridors throughout my stay. There is some additional male quarters being built.nnThe course:nThe course starts with observing your breath, then progresses to observing your body and at last ends with a prayer for the goodness of our world and people. You should speak with anyone(except the course instructor) throughout the 10 days course.nnThe change in me:nAt the end of the course, I found myself being conscious, alert and living in the present. Also, all my past anger issues vanished in thin air. I am able to maintain equanimity of character both in good and bad times.nnThe staffs:nThey are extremely punctual. Everything happens, not a minute before, not a minute later but exactly on time, every time.nnThe facilities:nYou have hot water for drinking as well as bathing. There was never water shortage, never an electric cut. The rooms are twin-sharing with attached toilets(for gents, don't know for ladies). You need to bring pillow cover and two bedsheets. Toilets are neat and clean. No issues.nnThe food:nThe food is of cooling type. Ragi kool, fruits like guava, sappota, papaya, banana, saamai upma, idli, chapati, rice, sambar, pudina butter milk and some burmese murukku were served here. There is no limit in the quantity of food being served here. You can have your fill but ensure you are not sleeping during meditation.:)nnYour activity there?nYou ought to sit on a pillow and meditate for around 10.5hours from morning 4:30AM till 9:00PM for 10 days. Of course with occasional breaks.:)nnAt around 7PM, you will have a discourse session where Shri. S. N. Goenka ji will speak through an audio about current day's proceedings.nnDo I recommend it?nFor any serious meditator, let me tell you! You are not meditating until you complete this 10 days course(any centre).nFor anybody else, I still recommend it urgently. If you can spare 10 days from your otherwise busy life, you will understand things which you can learn only at an old age.nnThe course is free and that's what amazed me the most. The quality of the course is above par any other paid course. Good people still exist int his world.nnMy request:nDo contribute some money as donation if you find this course helpful.nnHappy Dhamma!
