Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia recently completed an 11-day Vipassana meditation retreat in Rajasthan. The senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, currently facing legal battles, chose to undergo the ancient meditation practice to seek mental clarity and inner peace.
Sources close to Sisodia revealed that he spent the duration of the retreat in complete silence, following the strict discipline of Vipassana, which prohibits any form of communication, including speaking, reading, or using electronic devices. The meditation center, known for its rigorous training in mindfulness and self-awareness, has been a popular choice for many politicians and public figures seeking a break from the pressures of public life.
Vipassana, a meditation technique that originated in ancient India, focuses on deep self-reflection and awareness of bodily sensations. It is believed to help practitioners develop a balanced mind and overcome stress.
Sisodia’s participation in the retreat comes at a time when he is embroiled in legal challenges related to the Delhi liquor policy case. While AAP leaders have not commented on his meditation retreat, political analysts see this as a strategic move to maintain composure amid ongoing legal proceedings.
With growing political and legal tensions, Sisodia’s Vipassana retreat reflects his attempt to find inner strength before facing further challenges ahead. Whether this experience will impact his political future remains to be seen.
