Vipassana Association of South Africa

Vipassana Association of South Africa Dhamma Patākā - Vipassana Meditation Center in South Africa N. Goenka. The ongoing running of Dhamma Pataka is the responsibility of VASA.

All over the world organisations have been established by practising students to offer Vipassana meditation courses as taught by S. These organisations are legally accepted by the respective governments and are functioning as the official body organising Vipassana courses in this tradition. All Trusts work according to the same Vipassana principles and are non-sectarian and non-commercial in character. The Vipassana Association of South Africa, a not-for-profit organisation was founded with the aim of organising Vipassana courses as taught by S. Old students are appointed as trustees on a basis of one to two years and meet about every six weeks at Dhamma Pataka.

Today, 29th September 2025, we remember with much gratitude, the Principal Vipassana Teacher, Shri Satya Narayan Goenka, on the 12th anniversary of his passing away in 2013...

Under his vision and guidance, the Spread of Dhamma continues with more than 220 permanent Vipassana Centres and over 130 non-centers in 60 countries around the world.
