A number years ago, old students in the city of Trivandrum got together and started organising group sittings. In 2014 a trust was formed and they started organizing Vipassana courses in rented facilities. Eight 10-day courses (three courses last year) and a few short courses have been conducted so far. More than 50 full-time meditators participated in the last ten-day course. Weekly group sittings are being held every Sunday, and one-day courses and children’s courses are conducted almost every month at a rented house in the city. Over the last few months, efforts to build a permanent centre in Trivandrum have intensified, and a suitable plot has now been found in a calm location at Aruvikkara, approximately 19 km from the city centre. The price of this land is very high.
Old students may avail of this opportunity to earn merits.
