Cartwheels in a Sari: A Memoir of Growing Up Cult is a memoir written by Jayanti Tamm, a former devotee born into Indian spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy's ministry.[1] In the book Tamm, an English professor at Ocean County College in New Jersey, wrote about her first 25 years growing up in the Queens-based religious group. Tamm characterizes the charismatic leader's group as a cult, and documents Chinmoy's "masterful tactics of manipulation".[1] She left the group in 1995.[2]
An audio version of the book was released on April 1, 2010.[3]
