Dhamma Ganga meditation center

This is the name of Kolkata's vipassana center. I just spent the last 10 days there.








Welcome to the vipassana prison :-)



Check out the time table



First steps inside






It's an excellent place for ornithology : maybe 20 different species of singers






And also a good place for entomology : lots of different species of mosquitoes :-) Some were really huge.
























I have to confess that I didn't give full justice to the campus because there were some dirty looking corners in the compound.



My couch



On the 10th day the meditators are allowed to talk again









I met Emilia in the dormitory of my hotel. She decided to come along with me. She was so happy on the last day ! She was fulfilling her dream to wear a sari.






The entire group of meditators, on the last day



There were also a few monks

This is really beautiful, many thanks for sharing your experience at Dhamma Ganga. I hope to be able to sit a course here after exploring what you have so graciously shared with all.

Many thanks.

One Love,
