New Delhi: Many of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's aides are now following in his footsteps and practising Vipassana.

AAP's Delhi unit convener and Mr Kejriwal's close confidant Dilip Pandey has left for a Vipassana course for the next 11 days.

"OFF to Vipassana for nxt 11 days, will have no access to Phone+Internet. Lots of wishes to all for festivals, medals to come???? (sic)," tweeted Mr Pandey who is known as a key aide of Mr Kejriwal.

Vipassana is a form of meditation which requires a vow of silence.

Interestingly, another of his close confidants and Punjab's AAP co-convenor Durgesh Pathak also went to practise Vipassana along with Mr Kejriwal early this month.

Mr Kejriwal had gone for Vipassana early this month after a gap of nearly one-and-a-half year following a hectic campaign for Lok Sabha elections in May, 2014.

Manish Sisodia, Mr Kejriwal's deputy, is also a known practitioner of Vipassana.

"The entire exercise was refreshing and eye-opener for knowing onself," Mr Pathak said, adding that he intends to go again for a Vipassana session after the Punjab polls.
