Vipassana Meditation: Goenka vs Mahasi Sayadaw
Спорт
Learn differences and similarities of 2 main ways of Vipassana meditation: Goenka and Mahasi Sayadaw Vipassana (the one you can practice in Thailand, based on 4 foundations of mindfulness).
While both of this types of meditation retreats represent Vipassana, they are quite different in methods and rules. In this video, I'll go into the details and explain you Goenka and Mahasi Sayadaw Vipassana and give you my honest opinion on both of them.

thank you! that’s why I’ve prepared this video, as I was very confused at the beginning to hear the word “Vipasaana” and to see two different things.
Glad you liked it 😊
I did Vipassana meditation for 7 days in Bhopal in my childhood. It was a wonderful experience ❤

thank you for watching 😌
At the Goenka retreat. You only have to be in the main meditation hall afor 3 group sittings that are 1 hour each. and then after a small break for 10 minutes, you go in for more isntructions which last maybe 10-15 minutes. After this you are allowed to meditate in your room. The rest of the time, you can meditate in your room. There are also teachers there that you can ask questions too.

Thank you for your comment! My friends who had zero experience with meditation want there. Some of them didn’t enjoy it at all, they said it was too strict, too militar approach. I would definitely do it later in my life to see the difference 😊

You really should do a Goenka course. It's not as strict as you point out. You are not observed all the time. You are free to meditate in your room if you prefer. You are only required to be in the hall for 3 sessions a day as well as at the discourse each evening. The separation of male and female is a good idea in my opinion. And of course if you really want or need to leave, then you can leave. Also anything less than 10 days, isn't really giving a proper chance to experience the method. Blessings from Australia. 🙏

Yes Vipassana is very strict if you straggle with Vipassana then you can try iner Engineering teach by Sadhguru Isha foundation. Shambhavi Mahamudra is awesome. You have to give only 21 minute in a day. You will blast with peace try it.

@@sanjoychhetri984 it’s indeed a good solution, especially for us millennials, how want to have it all and don’t have time for anything at the end. I love Sadhuru’s lectures but I’ve practiced only his 15-min meditation. Could you provide us with a link to this 21 day course please?
