Acharya Satya Narayan Goenka, known as S.N. Goenka, is a key figure in the modern revival of Vipassana meditation. Born on January 30, 1924, in Mandalay, Burma, he overcame severe health issues through Vipassana, taught by Sayagyi U Ba Khin in 1955. This transformative experience led him to dedicate his life to teaching Vipassana. Authorized to teach in 1969, he moved to India, initiating a global movement with his non-sectarian approach, making Vipassana accessible to diverse populations. He established numerous meditation centers worldwide, including the Global Vipassana Pagoda in Mumbai. His teachings emphasize experiential understanding over intellectual knowledge and have significantly improved mental health and well-being for millions. Acharya Goenka's legacy continues through his recorded discourses and an ever-expanding network of meditation centers. Recognized with honors like the Padma Bhushan, his impact extends into psychology, health, and spirituality, promoting a global community focused on inner peace and transformation.
