S. N. Goenka

Satya Narayan Goenka (1924–2013), widely known as S. N. Goenka, was a Burmese-Indian teacher and author who played a pivotal role in bringing Vipassana meditation to the modern world. Though not a traditional “author” in the literary sense, his dicourses, writings, and compilations have been published in books that continue to guide millions of meditators globally. His works emphasize meditation as a scientific, non-sectarian technique for self-transformation.
