[Eckanker I know is a religion that operates like a cult even though they deny being one. One has to grow grom one level to another .Except you are promoted by their godman ,the mahanta who is a man in a wheelchair from America,a divorcee whose only daughter and child is not even an eckist. She is a christian! Again you have to renew your membership every your for the mahanta to recognize you. .They do not condemn divorce for obvious reasons,and neither are they against homosexuality and abortion. I can go on and on. Eckists are usually brainwashed by their trachers called arahatas brainwash them of the grave consequences they stand to face should they leave Eckankar. Thrre ste so many other secretes as so many things are shrouded in secrecyte author=pimper24 post=72069337]Please urgent advise is need. A friend of mine who is an Eckist or member of Eckankar has confided in that his family has concluded plans to disown him because of his membership of the religious group.

They accused him of using occultic powers to hoodwink members of his family. His younger brother said he bumped into his diary where he wrote the family members' names and also different bizarre names beside each for reasons no one could explain.

He has been mandated to denounce his membership or get expelled from the family.

I hope yhu see the blind bias -ness here.

yhu and me follow drink garri the same garri, then yhu tell me the garri yhu drank is holy garri because yhu are a christian and mine is sinful.

even christ was not this dumb, now.

Ese95:


However u see it just Stop spreading ignorance and lies about Eckankar thanks.

chalantmike:


what are yhu saying didnt christ ask yhu to forsake yhur family and follow him?.

Luke 14:25-27 Easy-to-Read Ve
Decide if You Can Follow Me
Many people were traveling with Jesus. He said to them, “If you come to me but will not leave your family, you cannot be my follower. You must love me more than your father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters—even more than your own life! Whoever will not carry the cross that is given to them when they follow me cannot be my follower.

why dont yhu christains get that journey through is an individual path/thing vias spirituality. even christ preached the same thing.

Naturalle:
Please refrain from my mentions as you lack basic reading comprehension. Besides Eckankar doesn't need you to defend it cos you're doing a shoddy job and it's doing fine on its own.

With people like you spreading ignorance n lies i am always going to enlighten the public and am glad the message is sinking.

Naturalle:
Ignorance and lies? What's the lie or ignorance I shared? Can u please mention one?

They will conveniently turn a blind eye to ds part...

You called it a cult which is a lie..

Hi Guys..I love this headline...Now let me give you a brief explanation about What Eckankar is all about........And am a Proud member of Eckankar.

There so many religions in the world like Buddah,Krishna,muslim, Christianity,Eckankar and so on...all have there own different belief but all centres on LOVE and Love is God and God is Love...God itsef has no religion.

Eckankar is a Two letterword *ECK* which means HOLY SPIRIT and *ANKAR* means THE WAY....Eckankar is a path of spiritually freedom...It is the religion of the Light and Sound of God .......

In Eckankar,We have masters which we call the *ECK MASTER* They are the living embodiment of God,they are the physical and spiritual master...The Current Eck master is Sri Harold Klemp and there are so many others....They help ready souls find there ways on its own path back to God...tHey are the way showers.They communicat to us through so many mediums like Prayer,dreams,soul travel and so on...

in Eckankar ,we learn how to Use the Most sacred name of God which is the word *HU*....HU is a love song to God and is not just for we Eckist ,its meant for Everyone who is willing to give it a try.......*HU* is pronounced as *HUe* and we chantin it like this - *HUUUuuuuuuuu*.......This is how Eckankar prays.....When singin this love song,We sit relaxed,put attention on the THIRD EYES which is located at the forehead which is regarded as THE SIT OF SOUL.....this is the eye we humans use to explor the inner worlds of God....then we slowly chant the *HU*......

In Eckankar we teach about Karma and Reincarnation...We dont believe in the concept of Hell Fire cos it doesn't exist......Karma is the law of cause and effect...Reincarnation has to with one reborn after death.....
Beleiv it or not we all have been here before many life times still searchin for a way to get back Home to God...

To sum it up.... Christianity is not the only part to God,Jesus christ belongs to no religion,Jesus teachings centres on LOVE and he didnt teach its followers to criticise any religion ........We all are created in the image and likeness of God......

So from what i read above.....its unfair that people conclude without further investigation,Life is full of so many challenges....Theres nothing secret about Eckankar.








Thank you

a few weeks back I was having an argument with my mum regarding this ekankar stuff.
she view it as an occultic group while to me it is just a group of religious people with a different way of worship.
let me wait for others opinion

vivaciousvivi:

The truth is that Humans being what they are - what they do not understand or refuse to understand, they tend to fear.
I truly believe that Ecankar is not an occultic group.
Would I ever be inclined to attend any of their seminars? No, as their beliefs do not appeal to mine at this point in my life.

Mklanceee:

I am kind of curious. would love to learn a thing or two about them

vivaciousvivi:

I would first advice you start that online.
Then maybe link up with a matured and knowledgeable Nairalander who is an Eckist (that is if you are still interested after the online research).
I believe there was one on this thread who gave a great response to the topic earlier - pemmb or something like that.
Good luck, hope you find what you are looking for that would make your life more worthwhile

He was speaking figuratively. When you eat his words (hide it in your Heart and obey them),that was made flesh, you are eating, literarily , his flesh.dont get it twisted.

ansellotty:
Just because a person doesn't hold same religious beliefs as you, doesn't make his/her religious body occultic.

Whilst I was in the university in Nigeria, I attended Eckankar, AMORC and regular churches. Some of my friends thought I was weird. Most of them thought I was completely mad. None realized that I was just trying to be myself; I was trying to understand the different religion so I could better understand and live harmoniously with people of different religious background and worldviews.

In the developed world, nobody cares whether you are a Muslim, a Christian, or a person with no religion.

If I were the guy, I'll disown such a family before they do. They are not his family members. A family will respect and support your individual decision, religious view inclusive.

Everyone must not be a Christian!

Who has bewitched Nigeria?

In every School of Thought, there is the shallow doctrine made available to the general public such as seen in Google search. But, buried within is the real doctrine which only those who have passed through certain stages will have access to.
Paul Twitchel "must have" meant well when he founded Eckankar in the late 90s, but some masters "must have" abused it's teachings.

I'm a free thinker, i have followed a little bit the courses of some of these Schools of Thought in an attempt to acquire knowledge.

An Igbo proverb says that a good visitor is one who knows when to leave.
Wisdom has thought me to know when to stop and retract in my quest for knowledge so as not to soil my hands. Because the love for this quest can be enticing most times.

It is not bad to seek truth, it is only bad and detrimental to seek it blindly. After all, occultism is the science of hidden truth.

Chinny024:
On a more serious note ..This eckankar,is it church or what... One of my colleague is inviting me to their program towards Rumukwurusi Portharcourt..
Don't want to attend though but she kept on pressing me.. Saying it's normal church program for ember month..
What are they Biko....Are they not church?
Don't want to use my legs carry myself inside problem..

He belongs to his family and have to come out of that stupid whatever he put himself in

A man without a family is like a man without God, he should obey his family

He is laying foundations for a solitude life

If he continues that way he will be alone on the surface of this earth

Even if he dies no member of his family will claim his corpse

His corpse will belong to unclaimed corpses and you know what happens with it

Rumicarter:


He should disown his Family and move in with you? Is 'Honour your Father and Mother' in you people's bible at all?

Evangkatsoulis:


Paul twitchell founded eckankar in the late 90s? Mr freethinker, I hope you know what you are saying?

LightSpirit:
To those Christians judging Eckankar as occult group, they are only exposing their ignorance.

Take it or leave it, Christ Jesus remain an occult figure.

You 'cover' yourself with BLOOD of Jesus, what can be more occult than that?

Is it the concept of trinity, or the many esoteric teachings of Jesus, the cross, the Eucharist/holy communion or the MYSTERY of his birth?

It is my feeling that the so called Christians always reject the true occult Christ to embrace the Christs of their ideals. And nothing is responsible for this but fear - fear of the unknown.

Note..¤ I'm not an eckist, neither do I belong to any sect, religious or esoteric group. I'm a seeker without brand. But I love Jesus.

Confused human being.

Evangkatsoulis:


As a christian, did you not have a 100% faith in the word of christ? If so, did you believe that "christ is the only way, and other paths are paths to destruction"? If yes, why try to learn the ways of a path to destruction? Did you have a personal relationship with the creator of the universe, or at least holy spirit-filled?

You strike me as one who doesn't know his left from his right!
