Gokulashtami is a very important landmark in Indian Mythology. The birth of Lord Krishna holds significant importance in the life of each and every practicing Kriya Yogi in this world. As one tries to understand the knowledge in the eighteen chapters of the Holy Gita through the practice of Kriya Yoga...many births just pass by in assimilating all that is hidden in those chapters.

बुरा जो देखन मैं चला, बुरा न मिलिया कोय,
जो दिल खोजा आपना, मुझसे बुरा न कोय।

This Doha by Kabir Das ji sums up my experience of the intense Vipassana practice.

In this sense, Vipassana gave me a chance to self-contemplate and reflect on this part which needed to be corrected, the part which needed to be polished and what needed to be purged from the system.

Vipassana is a holistic approach to self contemplation and self-correction by practicing mindfulness.
