Best place for spiritual, yoga and meditation oriented?

Namaste!
I have traveled to 50 countries on 5 continents and look forward to backpacking India for 3 months.
I am looking for positiive places, with freedom of action, but with standard boundaries at the same time,
no hassle, hustle, or harassment from men -- BIG Problem in India for a solo female?

I do enjoy staying in ashrams, but for a day or so, not more. I would prefer yoga/yogic oriented cities, or accomodation facilities.
No vice.

I will surely drop by the Osho Ashram in Pune, but that's about all I know of my topic in India :(

Guys if you know or have seen yoga-paradise please do let me know!

I am not sure Osho counts as that. But if you have lots of flash to burn and want the Disneyland approach maybe. The publications are of outsanding print quality. Rishikish would be infinitely preferable. But, there is some modest degree of the same commercialism there. The very best places require some digging among the local old hands..

You should defenitely try Auroville in Pondicherry. Auroville as people call it is an international village for people interested in spirituality, yoga, mediation and the likes (Strong international community of people from all around the world).

Pondicheery is an union territory, inside the state of Tamil Nadu. It will be a different experience for you from rest of India. People speak french tamil and english mostly here. Am from Tamil Nadu, now in the states, Pondicherry is one of my most favorite places ever.

Do visit Auroville.

Dear Sir/Madam

Thanks for your query.
Best place to visit in India for Spiritual Awakening is Maharshi Sadafaldeo Ashram, Jhunsi, Allahabad
Maharshi Sadafaldeo Ashram, Jhunsi, Allahabad
Situated on the banks of Holy Ganges, and very close to the Triveni Sangam (Tri-junction) of rivers Ganga and Yamuna, Jhunsi Ashram is the centre of excellence, and the operational international headquarters of Sadguru Sadafaldeo Vihangam Yoga Sansthan. Rich in spiritual energies, surrounded by lush greenery and echoed by the sound of chirping birds and river waves, this 10-acre campus is a paradise for spiritual seekers. His Holiness Shri Sadguru Sadafaldeo Ji Maharaj meditated in this holy place from year 1921 onwards. He used to call it His University in spiritual sense. This is where he was honored with the supreme authority of the Sadguru by the Eternal Sadguru. He renounced His body in this very campus while sitting in Yogic posture and then spoke from the void (Akash Vani) for 15 min in the presence of many Disciples. Close to this campus is His Samadhi.
The campus is equipped with all modern amenities, including 24 hours power supply and wifi spots.
