Dhamma Nāgājjuna 2

Dhamma Nāgājjuna 2 is a second dhamma.org listing, with its own course schedule, at the same address as the Vipassana International Meditation Centre (Dhamma Nāgājjuna) at Hill Colony, Nagarjuna Sagar, in Nalgonda district. Its web address redirects to the main centre's site, and dhamma.org repeats the main centre's description. As of October 2026 this listing carries the longer courses for experienced old students: Special 10-day, Satipatthana Sutta, 20-day, 30-day and 45-day courses and Gratitude courses, alongside regular 10-day courses and the one-day children's courses (ages 10 to 18) held on the last day of each 10-day course. The centre's history explains the long courses: because the setting was judged ideal for them, individual rooms with their own veranda and toilet were built from 2006. The first 20-day course was held in 2011, the first 30-day course in April 2014 and the first 45-day course in January 2015. The campus has a 64-cell pagoda, built in 2010, and room for 86 students. Long courses have entry requirements: VRI's schedule says, for example, that a 20-day course needs at least five 10-day courses, one Satipatthana Sutta course, service on a 10-day course and two years of regular practice. Instructions are given in Hindi, English and Telugu.
