Goenka Vipassana is a cult !!

A review on YELP
Please don't go! As a Hypnotherapist and intuitive I can tell you that my experience there leads me to believe that there are clever and purposeful mind control techniques used at this Center. As well as the "prison" type mentally. The founder actually jokes about this in a video he made 12 years before his passing. 
If you value your sanity and your soul please stay away! Don't believe me? Talk to some of the local towns people. They tell stories of "escapees" having to hike out with only the clothes on their backs and people wondering the streets and hardly able to function after leaving there. I went, like a fool, and once I realized that I'd been put in a trance, it took me three days and nights to de-hypnotize myself and leave.
