Its a cool religion tho, my uncle and his family are all Eckist, its like a cult tho, if that's wht you'll call christainity or islam! They belive in the light and sound of God, they belive in re-incarnation(with concrete facts backing them up ) and they tell you , your previous re-incarnated self, and after series of findings and investigation you see that the facts are true or really over welming,,,, its a fun religion tho,,, they are remotely in PH. And most south south parts of Nigeria and the world,

you get sucked in after ur convinced.
Christians who know what going on,know tht an elaborate deceptive string pulling is going on in d backside to pull of tht deception.

benodic:

the way you christians respond to things you do not understand always make laugh. like a child who is warned by the parents to beware of the bogeyman who might just capture him .

in ECKANKAR, we are not interested in convincing anyone or begging anyone to believe in its teachings. we simply put out the truth as we know it for those who wants to know more about life . nobody forces you and nobody entraps you into becoming a member such an action in itself is a violation of spiritual law.

the teachings are simply for souls who are ready for it.
so relax , the bogeyman is not out to get you.

ya true,,, but I do belive in reincarnation tho, I think its intresting for humans to be reborn again...,what you think?

Boss13:
I do not know much about eckankar but I have gone to some of their seminars and read some of their books and I can confirm that they preach and practice more love than Christians claim to do. According to them, you have to experience God not by what is written in a book but experience it yourself and by this nobody can deceive you.

asalimpo:


tht's an old tactic. The yakuza recruit members by offering a sense of family, to unsespectg recruits.
They "love" them. To convince them to join. After theyre entrenched, things take a downturn. Theyre ruled by the threat of death, they cant leave freely . The love dissapears.

Boss13:


The Christians do the same thing. You remember hell fire, how do you think that word emanated from?

asalimpo:

Try leavg JW.

asalimpo:

i believe wat d bible says on life post-death. Besides only a person who has died and return could giv an objectve reply from his experience. Since thts not the case i go with the Book.
There's no reincarnation,it's satan and his lies all behind it all.
Hav u noticed tht in all other religion judgement in the after life is downplayed or eliminated?
You think this is a coincindence?think.
With no retribution for life's sins and the suggestion tht sin is an archaic controlling concept,
people will do watever they like.

But it doesnt quite add up.
Take a more stable country like d u.s can you cheat the IRS and go scott free? No!
Can you commit murder and the fbi wink it off? No!
If justce works in this life,any religion downplayg it is a lie from hell. Period.
And its to get ppl comfortable with sin, only to find themselves in hell after death.

Catholicism- purgatory
islam - al janah ( kill for allah,and you'll b handsomely fvckd in their orgiastc heaven)
eastern religions - reincarnation
jehovah witness - annahilation

theyre all lies and traps.

What is Eckankar? Is it a cult, a religion, part of the occult?

OLAADEGBU:

Question: "What is Eckankar?"

Answer: Eckankar is one of the New Age religions, started in 1965 by journalist Paul Twitchell. Before founding Eckankar, Twitchell was involved in yoga, self-realization groups, and Scientology.
In their own words, “The ECK is spirit. It is the force that sustains and supports all life throughout the worlds or SUGMAD [God]. . . . In ECKANKAR, contemplation is the spiritual exercise that opens the door to expanded awareness. And the Inner Presence of the Living ECK Master [Sri Harold Klemp] is the Spiritual Guide.” According to founder Paul Twitchell, the ECK Master, or Mahanta, is “omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent” (ECKANKAR: A Way of Life).
Eckankar, according to its official website, allows followers to “explore their own spiritual experiences.” It is also called “the Ancient Science of Soul Travel,” which teaches that a person’s soul can transcend the physical universe and visit the spiritual world where God is. Based in New Hope, Minnesota, Eckankar claims to be mankind’s oldest religion. It has an estimated following of 40,000 to 60,000 members.
The following are the basic beliefs of Eckankar:
God: An impersonal, amoral, pantheistic spirit. Twitchell described God (“Sugmad”) in his book The Tiger’s Fang as ignorant, internally inconsistent, in need of wisdom and education, negative, unawakened, wondering, poor, unhappy, not content with his creation and in need of assistance. Twitchell also said, “You will never find God by searching for Him. He is here and now within you!” One can only wonder why anyone who sees God in this light would want to find Him in the first place.
Sin: Simply karma that must be purged through the process of reincarnation and the work of the ECK.
Salvation: While Eckankar believes it is the most direct path to God, it also teaches that all religions are created by the ECK.
Jesus Christ: Twitchell stated that “Kal [the devil] is the Jehovah of the Jewish faith and the Father of the Christian teachings. . . .Therefore, we really see Jesus as a son of Kal Niranjan, king of the lower worlds.”
The fall, the second coming, heaven, and hell: All are Christian myths in the view of Eckankar.
There is nothing within Eckankar to provide guidance on moral issues such as abortion, sexuality, or other important issues. Determining what is “right” is left up to the individual. The spiritual practices of Eckankar involve trances, meditation, soul travel accompanied by “spirit guides” (demons), E.S.P., telepathy, mind reading, clairvoyance, and plugging into the “cosmic consciousness.” According to Eckankar, the human soul is on a spiritual journey to discover and improve the true self, thereby realizing its own true inner divinity.
It is clear that Eckankar is a false religion created by Satan and steeped in Hinduism and other Eastern religions. Satan is our “adversary, the devil, [who] walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8.) When someone gets involved in any type of occult practice, he opens the door of his soul to the devil and his demons. This is why God is adamant in His Word about not involving ourselves in activities such as are promoted in Eckankar. “There shall not be found among you anyone who . . . uses divination, an observer of clouds, or a fortune-teller, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or one who calls to the dead. For all that do these things are an abomination to Jehovah” (Deuteronomy 18:10–12a). Not only do such practices put us in danger of encountering demons, they are detestable to God because they replace worship of Him, the true and living God, with the worship of the self.
There is nothing new here. The New Age philosophy of Eckankar is nothing more than Hinduism in another package. Its real purpose is the exaltation of the self, the same old lie Satan has been propagating since the Garden of Eden when he tempted Adam and Eve by telling them, “You shall be as God” (Genesis 3:5). Eckankar may appear peaceful and loving on the outside, but it houses occult doctrines and practices, it rejects the truth of God that He has revealed in the Bible, and it denies that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, except by Me” (John 14:6).

my dear olaadegbu,

you really made me laugh this night. i didn't know you were such a funny guy. i saw your post and i said what in heaven's name is olaadegbu doing disseminating info about ECKANKAR and how does he even know anything about ECKANKAR. so i went straight to your link and had another laugh.

you see there is one thing you have to understand. we in ECKANKAR simply do not care about any negative info or any name calling levelled at us by anybody or any group. the energy you spend castigating another religion is best spent contemplating on GOD. the mystery surrounding God is so enourmous and mankind over the ages has grappled with it, which resulted in many religions being practiced on earth today.

nobody has monopoly over truth. the test of any religion at the end of the day is in how has it made your life better. how has it brought love for God and your fellow man into your heart. love at the end of the day is the key to heaven and by their fruits you will know them.
it is mentality like yours that is causing the chaos on earth today, people leave the truth and pursue shadows and spend more time inflating their egos by proclaiming that their God is bigger than yours. really?

so my dear if you like continue your bashing, it doesn't take anything away from what ECKANKAR is. The Religion of the Light and Sound Of God. the light and sound being the manifestation of the Holy Spirit which when it comes into your life makes you a new being filled with love and bent on only carrying out the will of God. it is a life to live and not an argument to be argued about.

those who are interested in getting the correct information about ECKANKAR can go to the website: www.eckankar.org. ECKANKAR is also on facebook. if you have questions you want to ask an Eckist, you can go to the thread-https://www.nairaland.com/533844/contemplation-seeds-eckankar and drop your question there.

thanks

objection please!

@ michaelwestern

do you know Jesus Christ?

chieveboy:


ECK means Holy spirit, Ankar:...the way= Eckankar=the way/path of the Holy spirit.

Holy spirit is in English...more like a description of a certain spirit the English man had'nt grasp yet--an adjective. ECK is the age old name for the the Life force aka Holy spirit.

OLAADEGBU:


Did you say that this 'certain spirit' is a life force? If so then it is different from the Personality that is the Holy Spirit. For the Holy Spirit is a Person.

chieveboy:


If you observe properly, "certain spirit" as used here connote the English man's lack of proper nomenclature for the Eck-- the Holy Spirit..."it is a Holy Ghost"...they know there are spirits, good ones, bad ones, holy ones...

If you say the Life force and the Holy Spirit are different, then it's only a matter of differences, ignorance our experiences and understanding of the subject matter ( The Holy Spirit).

timonski:

stop lying. The eck is not the same as the biblical holy spirit in operation.
