| The Pune Vipassana Centre
(PVC) was established in March 1997. A 10-day course was conducted
in the presence of Mr. and
Mrs. S.N. Goenka , the principal teachers of Vipassana meditation.
|
This 23 acre centre
named Dhammananda (Joy of Dhamma) is situated on the bank of
the Indrayani river, about one hour drive from the heart
of Poona city. |

|
| The centre has a present capacity of 60
meditators - 40 males and 20 females. Both the male and female
residences have 10 double rooms with attached bath; in addition
to this, there is a male dormitory for about 20. |
The teacher’s residence
houses one bedroom for an assistant teacher and two bedrooms
for male and female servers respectively. |

The present
meditation hall comfortably seats 100-125 students, more than
the current residential capacity of the centre.
|
The grounds of the centre
have many flowers, trees, bushes and shrubs. Overall,
the centre provides a quiet, secluded and comfortable
environment for the self-introspection that forms an
integral part of a Vipassana meditation course. |
