"Not great speaker but was successful in spreading the word"

A review of Vipassana Trust Meditation Centre by Vipassanameditator written on Thursday 9th of April 2015

I agree that there is a lot of rambling in Goenka discourses. I`ve attended many discourses and for me I simply learned to look at it as his way of speech. He doesnt impress me as a great speaker but his intention and his pure intention to help others coupled with his business skills resulted in great work of spreading the word of vipassana meditation. After all he was persuasive enough to convince governments and followers alike to build 120 centers around he globe. After all this needs some good amount of intelligence and work so lets give him some credit. I do agree that he doesnt impress me as a speaker and he keeps on repeating himself. There is also the element of English not being his native language and it can be well felt that often times he translates from Indian into English which over time can be tiring for the listener.

Cheers..
