Sarah,

Here are my tips:

a)don�t criticize spirituality or meditation; focus your critics on Chinmoy Kumar Ghose;
b)tell her about some contradictions. Here are the ones I experienced myself: a) ceaseless search for fame; b) control exerted by followers among themselves, stimulated and encouraged by the leader; c) prohibition of any critics (and even expel from the sect because of them), instead of giving satisfactory answers; d) overreacted devotion of the members towards the leader (who can only be, at most, one of �God�s instruments�, not God himself), without him doing anything about it or making any critics (on the contrary, he seems to stimulate it); e) frequent luxurious trips to exotic countries; f) money charging on every small event, which are actually created with this very purpose, not respecting the voluntary donations; g) frenetic search for new followers, according to quantitative criteria, challenging the affirmative according to which the relationship master-student was agreed to prior to birth; h) the sole fact of there are so many ex-followers contradicts the affirmative that the path was �pre-destined�; i) weigh lifting through a mechanical arm (�give me a lever and I�ll move the world� is a lesson learned in physics);
c)tell her about the discussion group at Yahoo; there were more than 90 members, almost 2500 messages with detailed stories about several contradictions (sexual abuse, lies, intrigues, partiality, etc.) that were all confirmed by other ex-followers who were closer to the leader;
d)tell her that she can lead a spiritual life and meditate outside the group or in a more authentic and sincere path. She�ll certainly be happier;
e)we should always help people. Don�t be afraid to warn your friend and let her know what you think. �The truth hurts, lies much more�. Whatever the outcome may be, you can be in peace with your consciousness. You�ll have done what you should have done.

I hope she sees the truth.
