Dhamma Anurakkhi
Dhamma Anurakkhī meaning, "Preserver of Dhamma" is an upcoming Vipassana International Meditation Center on 19 acres of land at Pulivendula, Kadapa(dt), A.P.
The first Tapodana program was held in this site on 3rd APR 2022. Meditators, who just completed a ten-day gypsy (non-center) course in Kadapa, also participated in this first Tapodana program. Ten day gypsy courses are planned in Kadapa until the center is ready to facilitate courses. One day courses for old students are conducted in the center every last Sunday of the month.
The Center is designed to run long courses and Short/Teenager courses simultaneously along with Ten day courses with dedicated areas for each. First phase development of the center was started in JAN 2023 with Teenager/Short Course Area to accommodate 68 Mediators. Initially this area is to be used for 10 day courses until development of other course areas.
The Center is situated on the ring road of Pulivendula in a quiet and secluded environment 2 km from the newly constructed APSRTC bus stand. Public and private travel direct buses are available from major south Indian cities to Pulivendula. Kadapa(HX), Yerraguntla(YA) are nearby railway stations. Kadapa(CDP), Tirupati(TIR), Bangalore(BLR) are near by airports.

Course types
All courses are run solely on a donation basis. All expenses are met by donations from those who, having completed a course and experienced the benefits of Vipassana, wish to give others the same opportunity. Neither the Teacher nor the assistant teachers receive remuneration; they and those who serve the courses volunteer their time. Thus Vipassana is offered free from commercialisation.
Old students are those who have completed a 10-day Vipassana Meditation course with S.N. Goenka or his Assistant Teachers. Old students have the opportunity to provide Dhamma Service at the courses listed.
3-Day
7 day course for teenagers
10-Day
For old students
Work Periods have been set aside to work on a variety of Centre maintenance, construction, household and gardening projects. All Old Students are welcome to apply. The daily program will include three group sittings with morning and afternoon work periods. On selected evenings, there will be tapes played of special discourses and talks that S.N. Goenka has given to Old Students.
Old students who completed three 10 day courses and 1 seva
Satipatthana Sutta Courses have the same timetable and discipline as 10-day courses. The difference is that in the taped evening discourses the Satipatthana Sutta is carefully examined. This is the principal text in which the technique of Vipassana is systematically explained. These courses are open to serious old students who have sat (not including courses served) at least three 10-day courses, have not been practising any other meditation techniques since last 10-day course, have been practising this technique of Vipassana for at least one year, and who are trying to maintain their meditation practice and the five precepts in their daily lives, at the very minimum from the time of applying to the course.
