Vipassana (group)

Vipassana was a ten-day Pune One non-residential meditation group led initially by Paritosh and Pradeepa. When Paritosh left, Pradeepa took over and was assisted by Gopal. The Community to Provoke God brochure had this to say as a brief description:

The word Vipassana means insight and this meditation is the one used by Buddha two and a half thousand years ago. For ten days participants maintain silence and practise an awareness technique of watching the breath as it goes in and out of the body. As a detached witnessing state becomes possible, thoughts are simply watched with indifference as they pass through the mind; feelings and emotions are allowed to come and go. Sitting meditations are alternated with walking meditations and all daily activities during this period are done with slow, silent awareness.
