Good!!! But I would wait for the formal dinner invitation. I don't want my picture ( in Sari) to be posted on Sajha that I crashed into Dr. Jain's events. 

Good to see fellow Vipassana Sadhak in Sajha!!

I have heard many wonderful things about Vipassana meditation. I am a fan of Mindfulness. 

Sexy in Sari,
There are no security check points or guest list. It is open to all. So, I assure you that your pictures won't be posted on sajha saying you crashed talk program on meditation. :)

Lahure Kancha,
If you are in DC metro area, join us for one day course as well. We are having a one day course at the same location on Saturday, Dec. 12. It will be a good opportunity to meet other Nepali meditators.

Poon-Hill,
I heard many wonderful things about Vipassana meditation on sajha from meditators before I decided to experience it myself. Find your precious 10 days and try it. I promise that you won't regret it. If you are in DC metro area, come for the talk program, listen, and ask any questions. Dr. Paul Fleischman is a well known writer and a long time Vipassana teacher who can relate to both eastern and western culture that we share.

Buddha taught Vipassana so that people could come out of their misery/sufferings here and now; not after death. His teachings are scientific, pragmatic, and result oriented. He used to say 'ehi passiko' - which means 'come and see'. So, I hope you will find some time to give it a trial.

Umesh ji at present i'm out of DC on work. I took ~10days course in Nepal, some 10 years back!! Been self practicing since (not regular though)!! Wanted to get back in discipline, hope to join you in DC soon!
