I Am A ... by BetterChurch: 7:19pm On Sep 20, 2017
I am a follower of ECKANKAR and a chela(spiritual student) of Sri Harold Klemp, the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master. And I believe in
The Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad (which means "Way of The Eternal" ). It is the holy book of those who follow the path of ECKANKAR and there shall be none above it.

What is ECKANKAR?

Making God an Everyday Reality
Soul's whole purpose for being in this world is to find divine love.
~Harold Klemp
The Secret of Love, Mahanta Transcripts, Book 14

Basic Beliefs of Eckankar

Harold Klemp, the spiritual leader of Eckankar, describes the basic beliefs of Eckankar as follows:


The teachings of ECK define the nature of Soul more carefully than do other current religions. Each person is Soul, a particle of God sent into the lower worlds (including earth) to gain spiritual experience. Purified by the spiritual exercises, he comes into contact with the Holy Spirit. His goal is spiritual freedom in this lifetime, after which he becomes a Co-worker with God, both here and in the next world. Karma and reincarnation are primary beliefs.

Key to the ECK teachings is the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master. He has the special ability to act as both Inner and Outer Master for ECK students. He is the prophet of Eckankar, given respect but not worship. He teaches the sacred name of God, HU, which lifts one spiritually into the Light and Sound of God, the ECK.

The ECK (the Holy Spirit) purifies one of karma (sin), making it possible for him to accept the full love of God in this lifetime. Then he gains wisdom, charity, and freedom.

Personal experience with the Light and Sound of God is the cornerstone of Eckankar. Of all the religions on earth today, Eckankar offers the most direct teachings on the Light and Sound of God. These twin pillars are missing in whole or in part from the rest. People who truly find these two aspects of God undergo a complete spiritual change. Life becomes fresh and new again, as it was in early childhood.

—Harold Klemp
"What Is ECKANKAR?"
The Temple of ECK

Eckankar teaches . . .
•Soul is eternal.
•Soul exists because God loves It.
•Soul is on a journey of Self- and God-Realization.
•Spiritual unfoldment can be accelerated through conscious contact with the ECK, Divine Spirit.
•This contact can be made via the Spiritual Exercises of ECK and the guidance of the Living ECK Master.
•You can actively explore the spiritual worlds through Soul Travel, dreams, and other spiritual techniques.
•Spiritual experience and liberation in this lifetime are available to all.

Thank you Vaxx. Hope this intro to the ECK Teachings is helpful in answering your question. So, the difference between both religions are obvious as their Scriptures are totally different.

It's called ECK Light and Sound Service and a true public event, held 9-10am on Sundays preceded by a 30mins HU Song from 8-8.30am in ECKANKAR Centres nationwide. Each service focuses on an aspect of Eckankar. It involves reading from the ECK books, singing HU, talks, music, and a panel discussion of spiritual principles at work in daily life. You are invited. Admission is free.

"As man deepens his understanding of the divine ECK his outlook changes. The ECK, which is the essence of God, is divine love, and being love It naturally provides only the good karma of life."

Sir do you sin or can a person stay without committing sin

Tfbaby:

Thank you for asking, Tfbaby. Truly, Our ''Sins'' are the reasons why we came to earth again. But a higher way of saying this is that; Reincarnation affords Soul another opportunity to cleanse Itself of Karma and gain Spiritual Freedom. And the Mahanta is always near to help Soul gain this Liberation from the Wheel of Karma and Reincarnation. While ''Sin'' is a concept of the mind, Karma and Reincarnation are part of God's eternal love for Soul and we are Soul. I hope the above offers insights in answering your question.
