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

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

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
