Today, we commemorate a momentous occasion – the day when the first Vipassana course in India was conducted by Kalyanamitta Satyanarayan Goenka ji, at Panchayati Wadi in Mumbai on 3rd July 1969. This marks a day of great historical importance and joy for us, his Dhamma sons and daughters.

As we reflect on this auspicious day, what better tribute to our Dhamma Father than to meditate and express our deep gratitude for this invaluable Gem of Dhamma. The very first course in India was conducted from 3rd July to 14th July 1969, with Goenkaji’s parents and twelve other students participating.

Key Highlights:
- Universal Appeal: Vipassana's secular nature has made it accessible to people from all walks of life.
- Global Reach: From humble beginnings with 14 students, Vipassana is now taught in over 250 centres, in more than 55 languages, free of cost, across the globe.
- India's Embrace: With over 120 centres in India, the practice has resonated deeply, reflecting its profound impact on the lives of countless individuals.

The Essence of Vipassana:
- Peace and Harmony: Vipassana embodies the Buddha's timeless teachings, promoting inner peace, compassion, and wisdom.
- Non-Sectarian: This practice stands as a beacon of inclusivity, free from dogma and sectarianism, welcoming all who seek the path of truth and liberation.
