What is Eckankar?

Eckankar teaches that there is an audible life current known as the ECK, or Holy Spirit, that

connects each of us with the heart of God. We can experience the ECK as Light and Sound. Through study and practice of the Spiritual Exercises of ECK, we learn to recognize the Light and Sound of God as It touches our lives and brings increased divine love.

The spiritual leader of Eckankar is the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master, Sri Harold Klemp. The Mahanta is the inner, or spiritual, form of the Living ECK Master. The Mahanta gives inner guidance through dreams, Soul Travel, and the Spiritual Exercises of ECK. Harold Klemp’s inspiring talks and writings, and his practical approach to spirituality, help thousands of people worldwide find greater freedom, wisdom, and love. His teachings uplift and help people recognize their own experiences with the Light and Sound of God.

Try a Spiritual Exercise

Spiritual exercises help open your heart to God’s love and the presence of the Holy Spirit (which

can be perceived as the Light and Sound of God, or simply a feeling of love). Eckankar offers more than one hundred different spiritual exercises to help you experience more love, joy, and spiritual freedom.

One of the simplest spiritual exercises is to sing HU (pronounced like the word hue). With eyes closed, sit in a quiet place and fill your heart with love. Sing HU on one long, steady note while sending love to God. After a few minutes, listen and perceive ways God’s love returns to you as either divine Light, Sound, or a feeling of love.

HU brings freshness to life by helping you be a happier person. HU is an ancient name for God. It’s also a nondenominational form of prayer and a love song to God that everyone can use privately, regardless of religious affiliation or spiritual belief.

“If you want to lift yourself to a higher state of consciousness—so that the political issues, the family issues, the social issues of the day do not throw you out of balance, so that you can find a happier, more contented life while you’re living here—sing HU, the most beautiful prayer.”

“Truth is so simple. So why doesn’t everybody know it? Because it is too simple. Because we have our preconceived notions about what truth is or what it should be.”

– Harold Klemp, The Language of Soul, page 24

Families are most welcome at Worship Services. We offer a full program with planned activities for children from age 3 on up. Parents are welcome to join either program.

Only Fear Stops Us from Soul TravelWhen fear stops me from continuing a Soul Travel experience, can anything help me overcome that fear?

First of all, I’m glad to see you using the word continuing. It means that you have at least a little experience with Soul Travel.You are right, it is only fear that stops us from having any progress with Soul Travel. What happens when you love someone or something with your whole heart? Right, fear is pushed out of your mind!Therefore, can you go into contemplation by putting a thought into your heart about something you did once that made you happier than you’ve ever been before? Then take with you the thought: “I love God with all that is within me.” This takes practice, of course.I hope that this will help you get over your fear. It is quite a natural thing, but you will see it growing less powerful as you keep on with the spiritual exercises.
