Sayagyi U Ba Khin Memorial Trust

Up here on Parsik Hill in CBD Belapur, things are a lot quieter than the rest of Navi Mumbai. Our trust looks after the Dhamma Vipula center, which is tucked away on Plot 91A in Sector 26. Most days, it is just about keeping the place running and making sure people who come for the Vipassana meditation have what they need. The memorial trust was set up to keep things going in the way we were taught. It is a big responsibility managing a place like this, especially with the gardens and the rooms that need constant upkeep. We don't really do much advertising because the people who need to find us usually do. Our office is right here at the center, so there is always someone around to answer the phone or fix a leaky pipe. Working here feels different than a regular job in the city. You see a lot of people coming through looking for some peace, and we just try to maintain that environment for them. The view from the hill is nice, but there is always work to be done behind the scenes. We handle the scheduling, the food, and the general maintenance of the buildings. It is a simple life for the staff here, but it keeps us busy from sunrise until the evening. We just do our part to keep the gates open.
