Great experience and wonderful place. I hope to go back again during my next visit to Kolkata.

Best free meditation course in india

The best place to learn true sense of meditation.Their facilities are absolutely perfect.

Its the best meditation place I evr seen,,,,best meditation place everyone should come here

Very nice place for truth seekers.

Again as a sebak participating from 25th Aug to 5th Sept. Be happy.

The Vipassana technique taught by the late Shree Goenka is a tool for life. One of the most outstanding programs I have attended.The trainer(Mr Barua) and Sevika( Nimy) were the reason I could complete the course. Its a hard and tough course. I feel ill several times due to my pre-existing conditions, but Mr Barua, Nimy and the staff of Dhamma Ganga went beyond my expectations to cater special meals for me without oil.I cannot thank Dhamma Ganga enough.They do need to perhaps work on cleaner kitchens, so that rats etc dont get there. They also need to ensure that sadhaks, use basins to wash mouth and use the area of washing utensils for that only. This is more of a Sadhak think then Dhamma Ganga.All the staff were beyond kind and nice.It was a mask free zone for some reason, despite Covid.Otherwise, the teaching itself is outstanding , so was the staff, as well as the philosophy behind the organization is unique and mostly unheard of in India.Best wishes to Dhamma Ganga and its staff

The place is a great option to get lesson Buddhas teaching by respected S.N.GOENKA JI.every one must visit to purify himself from inside.Be happy

The best place I have been to in my life. The teachings of Buddha in its purerest form really cleanses you from deep inside. Its a must visit for evwry human being.Also, the quality of food and other services are awesome although its free. The ambience and the atmosphere is peaceful.

A life altering experience

Though not visited physically and dont know actually what they have promised, but there approach is very genuine.

Vipassana Meditation Centre... Changes so many peoples life. is located at Baro Mandir Ghat, Panihati.

Peace and positive vibration always surroundings.

Fantabulous place.. 🙂

The Vipassana Center is very peaceful and quiet, located directly on the Ganga. As well as the teachers and the Sevak and Sevikas were very helpfull in the Course. As a new student I had to share a little but cosy room with attached bathroom (western toilet and hot water) with another new student. I can only recommend every adult to make a Vipassana Course at least one time in their life and to spend as much as they can as a donation after completing the Course, so other students can come and benefit from it, especially those, who can not afford to give money. It is really complete on Donation basics! But you have to work really hard on your discipline to benefit for body and soul from 4 am. till 9:30 pm. Shanti ist also the nature within the Center ...

The 10-day vipassana retreat at Dhamma Ganga was an extraordinary experience. I tried decoding the deepest layer of the mind in a never before meditating experience. Its realizing that this too shall pass and balancing the pleasure cravings and the pain aversions effortlessly.10 days of austerity. No talking, no smoke, no alcohol, no lying, no cheating, no meat, no outside food, no food after sunset, no devices, no music, no makeup, no practice of any kind of religious rituals, waking up at 4 am and lights off at 9.30 pm, meditating for 10 hours - just the basic.I had an incredible experience at Dhamma Ganga and inspite of the initial hunger pangs and the burning back moments I loved how effortlessly I began imbibing and exuding Mangal Metta - goodness and happines for all beings.The registration process is clumsy and you will be asked a few personal questions which you may decide not to answer. Food is strictly vegetarian and is fresh and warm. The sebak, sebikas are dutiful and austere. It felt like going back to the good old boarding school days. I was stationed in a twin sharing room with a roomie. You are not allowed to talk, touch, interact or even make eye contact. Food, stay - all are free. The daan, donation, is completely on you. The first ever course has to be a 10 day one. Following that you can opt for a 3 or a 1 day course.Its located by the Ganges in Sodepur, near boro mandir. The temple shares the same boundary with that of Dhamma Ganga and is dilapidated. Lovely locale, lovely place for a peaceful retreat.

I attended 10 days meditation course here. Awesome feeling to enrich ownself. It made a lot change inside. Would like to attend more.

Peaceful Natural Environment on the bank of Hoogli River in Sodpur...nice place to meditate and realize yourself. Compassionate Aacharyajee and cooperative staff members.Overall great place to liberate yourself...

Very good meditation centreVipasyna meditation centre

Dhamma Ganga is one of the prominent centre in Kolkata for Vippsssana Meditation. It is a process of mental purification.On the bank of Hooghly river the location & the accomodation is awesome.I am grateful to such an institution by heart.

A place where you seek your inner peace

Peaceful place and clean place. Old 12 shiva temples are there. But the temples need renovation. Very beautiful and calm place to sit and spend some time with yourself. But very narrow road and car parking issues are there.

Sarva mangalam vhabatu. A self less place to know self. No cast no religion no 💰. Self healing silent environments

Excellent place for meditation.

Awesome place. Mind and soul relaxing place. I just love it.....

Great experience... i think everyone should attend once course here...

Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of Indias most ancient techniques of meditation. It was taught in India more than 2500 years ago as a universal remedy for universal ills, i.e., an Art of Living. For those who are not familiar with Vipassana Meditation, an Introduction to Vipassana by Mr. Goenka & related videos and Questions & Answers about Vipassana are available.The technique of Vipassana Meditation is taught at ten-day residential courses during which participants learn the basics of the method, and practice sufficiently to experience its beneficial results. There are no charges for the courses - not even to cover the cost of food and accommodation. All expenses are met by donations from people who, having completed a course and experienced the benefits of Vipassana, wish to give others the opportunity to also benefit.Meditation courses are held at both center and non-center locations. Meditation centers are dedicated facilities where courses are held regularly throughout the year. Before meditation centers were established in this tradition, all courses were held at temporary sites, such as campgrounds, religious retreat centers, churches and the like. Today, in regions where centers have not yet been established by local students of Vipassana who live in the area, 10 Day meditation courses are held at non-center course sites.❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I love this place... Everything is nice... Plz visit this place and change ur life... And I like food also 😋.. Sabka Mangal ho, sabka bhala ho🙏🧘‍♀

So good place. Try for better living

Everyone Should At Least Give It A proper chance you Know do whatever they ask in the rules and do whatever they teach follow every step . Trust me each and everything they ask you to do has a meaning and trust me its wonderful !

This is a very good place for outing besides the Hoogly river.

The man below speaks lies. He either did not attend the course beginning to end or he wasnt intelligent enough to understand this practice and its teachings.But dont listen to either of our opinions for they are only that.Go to this for yourself and take from it what you will.If you enter with a positive, learning mind-set; you will take many great things from this if you choose. Free thinking is encouraged.

It is beautiful place that offers the famous Vipassana programs of Sri Goyanka. The place is good and very convenient for the programs offered. The staff are polite and helpful. The food is limited according to their theory, but very tasty and well prepared. In general it is a great place for relaxation and self discovery.

Wonderful Place for Meditation.

Awesome

Had to give 5 stars for the facilities provided... The volunteers are very consistent in what they do and have sheer dedication to teaching the art of vipassana meditation.. I felt relieved of all stress after doing the course at this facility.... The fees are totally voluntary (as donations).... What you will learn from here is what you cant learn anywhere else... The place is ambient for meditation... Garden structures, silent halls, living quarters for men and women seperately... Food is also provided during the course... Refer to their official website to register for the courses and enquire about the foundation

The online selection process is tedious n jugementalI wish people at kolkata dhamma selection team were more kinder n non judgemental.Take a lesson from ur own teachings

Nice place

Vipassana changed my life. This is a very peaceful place . One must go to know life and attain peace.

Perfect place... to become free and happy .Know yourself here. It change your way of thinking. If u want True meditation join 10 days courses. I come here again and again.

Vipassana courses of 10 day duration are conducted on a regular basis. Participants are given basic accommodation and simple vegetarian food. One stays completely cut off from the rest of the world for 10 days as any sort of communication with the outside world is not allowed. The participants are also not allowed to communicate with each other. However at the end of 10 days one leaves the course with an immense amount of satisfaction.

Worth experience. Everyone must visit.

Its provide you a free meditation course for 10 days, 3 days etc. Its might be change your perception of your way of living.

If you want to change your life this place is perfect for you ...

Not visited personally

Very peaceful ❣️🙏 n hopefully place..... U can meditation here at earliest morning

I have completed 10 days adult course here. I think everyone should attend the course for their own favour. Best way to know myself. Cant explain in words...

Its beautiful place for peace of mind. If anyone is looking for meditation then this is the perfect place.

Perfect place for proper meditation. Peaceful, calm, smooth, natural and ganga side. If want to know about life and want to make your smooth life journey it’s a very positive place for you. You will understand the right path.

Well located near Boro Mandir Ghat in the banks of Holy Ganga.. peaceful.

Those who know about Vipasana centre or Vipasana mediation their life is changed. It is a unique and beautiful place, calm and quiet, beside baro Mandir ghat, at Sodepur, Kolkata. I suggest each and everyone reading this review please come at least once in your whole life at Vipasana Centre, do a 10 days program here, and you will find life will change....

It is one of the best centers of Vipassana where Trustees and Dhamma Sevaks are friendly and active. You get the best of your Vipassana meditation experience here in the serenity of the Ganga. If you are coming for a Vipassana course for the first time, believe me this is one of the best centers to start your spiritual journey.May All beings be Happy

Home away from home. Place of my ultimate peace.. Joining a 10 days Vipassana course changed my life..

If anyone wanna enjoy and cherish the very essence of truth of his or her human birth and life as a whole , the place is for you ...Have a visit ...make it a priority of high degree and make a 10 day plan whenever possible and learn....learn the art of living... The courses are absolutely free of cost..... Nothing like dharma pariwartan...lot to learn..nice vegetarian meals served...the garden is beautiful..men and women sections are completely segregated..noble silence is required..the meditation halls and the rooms provided are awesome.. purified water available..

It is not possible to describe this place and i dont think i am qualified enough. But i can only say onething, if you want to learn the true dhamma you should go here. It is nothing spiritual, very pracrical approach and the place itself has some really good effect on your mind.

Such amazing place and people. Everything neat and clean. This place on next to bank of river Ganga. Where we visit last day with all sadhaks

Great place to learn meditation, meditation is not a fun but hard work you have to go through all the process carefully if you think you can do this hard work for 10 days then you can join here you will see everything in new way.

Great location. Could be quieter had it been away from residences. Worth a visit if not for their courses then for just a moment of calm by the riverside.

Good

It is a go again point for vipassana,location immediate Ganga makes the place more calm and quit n also itz greenery.

Its now mixup with local construction .not soo peaceful

Its the Kolkata centre of Vipassana meditation. Its beside the Baro Mandir Ghat. Very peaceful place and ideal for meditation. They organise various meditation courses free of cost.

Nice, silent & isolate place in between locality and from the public to meditate. Finding is not easy you should take Auto or toto from the main road of panihati.
