In India everything has been commercialized perhaps except Vipassana at Dhamma. They now have centers all across the world.
Being born and brought up in India, the land of yoga, meditation etc. , I have seen so much commercialization around that I never rely on the "gurus".
Vipassana was a breath of fresh air. I went for a 10 days course. They are not about cult formation, conversion etc. This was perhaps the purest form of meditation teaching I saw. All the fooding and lodging was taken care by the Dhamma team and never for once did they even hinted us to offer money.
If you ever want to learn meditation, apply for a Vipassna retreat, take 10 days out of your schedule and see the difference. You can upvote me later.
