Dhamma Vahini Vipassana Meditation Centre

I did this last year, and I was bit disappointed. Although the technique is good simillar to ShavaSana and was showing effects. The unnecessary dose of personal philosophy and ridiculing of hindu philosophy in nightly lectures ruined it for me. There was a so called guru who used to sit on high seat and others on floor (not Mr. goenka). After four days I couldnt digest the philosophy so I wanted to leave, they asked me to take permission as if it was jail. Patrons tried to argue and enforce their philosophy on me which was unpleasnt. It is a silent meditation but all the time speaker blurts music from Mr. Goenka, how is that helpful. Patrons were rude to me on last day because I was leaving early and did not buy into their philosophy, office bearer pointed to payment box where I deposited some money dutifully, wasnt this suppose to be will ful donation. Another handicapped person left around same time as me , patrons yelled at him while leaving in front of others which was really not nice scene. They were afraid it may induce others to leave. In a nutshell good technique runied by imposition of personal philosophy for me.
