I've been there twice. I'd say it is very hippy, and there's a lot of bunk floating around - I saw a water cooler that dispensed "smart water enhanced with classical music" - but that's a given for any place that has to do with spiritual enlightenment. I wouldn't say it was racist, though, but from personal experience most of the foreigners I saw were white and seemed well off. IMO it's neither as bad as /r/india makes it out to be nor as good as some of the commenters here are saying it is.

Please don't say it unless you visited all of them. I've been to places where this is not true.


Agreed. There are plenty of places where the people engage in spiritual inquiry & meditation while still having a very solid base rooted in reality.
