hahahahaha funny but Mahisasur actually did great Tapasya to get his power... ------------------ yes vipassana is great to calm mind. NO... Mind doesn't get peace by itself. Khaali Dimag Shaitaan Ka Ghar. You have to train it to do so and vipassana is a great place to do that. 10 days will tame mind to be calm and think more and talk less, go deeper in mind...;-) There is one Vipassana ashram near dallas too, but 10 days vacation is not an easy thing to get...
