Founder Divine Soul Yoga
Dr. Deepak Mittal is the 1st generation entrepreneur, philanthropist, and a visionary. He is the Managing Director of International Tractors Limited.
Rose from a very humble beginning, he is the son of a government insurance officer. He has reached a pinnacle of success despite all the limitations of money, resources, and being from a small city of Punjab, Hoshiarpur.
Having big aspirations for global business, he started his career as a co-founder of the company from zero. Currently, the company has its global presence in more than 120 countries along with all the EU nations by the brand name Solis.
After achieving great career success, Dr. Mittal realized that success and contentment (inner happiness) are two different things. He believes that even after attaining a great name, fame & luxuries, a person is not necessarily a happy person.
Dr. Mittal measures success in terms of holistic happy and healthy living. After this realization, he started his search for internal happiness. He spent his time with great spiritual teachers of India to learn meditation. He studied various spiritual books, spent time in nature, and finally could reach a place where he felt that he is happy and successful.
His mission is to share & spread this precious knowledge through Divine Soul Yoga. Dr. Mittal has faced many adversities in life. He is aware of the challenges one faces, may it be in his personal life or at the professional front. He preaches what he practices in his own life. With daily habits of these practical techniques, meditations, and reading, he has integrated the art of happy living in his life.
Details of this retreat
Rooted in the teachings of Gautama Buddha, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to explore the depths of your mind and cultivate a profound awareness of the present moment.
The 4 days Vipassana retreat is a structured program, that includes regular online follow-up sessions. This immersive experience follows the principles of the universal law of nature, and guides participants along the noble eightfold path — Concentration, Wisdom, and Insight.
The retreat is conducted in noble silence, a period of complete silence that allows participants to turn their attention inward. The absence of verbal communication fosters an environment of introspection, enabling practitioners to focus on their inner experiences.
The meditation practice aligns by guiding individuals towards ethical living, mental discipline, and profound insight. Through Morality, Concentration, and Wisdom, participants navigate the path to self-realization and freedom from suffering.
Vipassana meditation has the power to transform the human mind and character. As practitioners progress, they experience heightened awareness, a shift in perception, and a sense of inner peace. The practice aims to liberate individuals from the root causes of suffering, leading to a happy and purposeful life.
During the silent meditation sessions, practitioners often report a deepening understanding of their consciousness. Reality may seem to be imbued with newfound meaning and warmth, as if a veil has been lifted, revealing the inherent harmony of all things.
May you all experience this ultimate truth. You may become free from misery. May you enjoy the real peace, the real harmony and the real happiness.
