I'm sorry but I know nothing of the organization becoming secret and cult like, perhaps too far removed here in Oz? But from here it seems to me to be opening up more to the world with Youtube, online meditations and numbers growing like never before in history. Brother Chidananda is a progressive from what I can see and he talks of millions of members in the coming years. 

I don't know much about Kriyananda, I read his autobiography years ago and was taken aback by the presence of a fairly prevalent ego singing from the pages. I dumped the book at local opp shop shortly after finishing it, and was even reluctant to do that. It was afterwards when I learned of his betrayal and other matters and did regret that I didn't just trash the book.

I think like many spiritual leaders he is very advanced but has some quite large obstacles holding him back. I read something from one of his devotees recently where before he passed on the devotee tried to tell Kriyananda he was the devotees guru. Kriyananda told him it couldn't be as he wasn't a perfected being. To hear of such a candid reply was a positive as I see it.
