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.

2014 ECK Springtime SeminarApril 18 – 20Minneapolis, MNwww.eckankar.org/seminars

A little boy named Babe had been sleepwalking for a few years. His parents were worried, and they spent sleepless nights watching over him. They sought help from various sources but to no avail. One day, a mutual friend introduced the parents to me whilst we were holidaying together in a foreign country. During our casual conversation, they mentioned Babe’s problem.

I silently asked the Inner Master how I could help him. I was nudged to teach the parents to sing HU. So I told them about the HU and taught them how to sing it. I cautioned them about what Sri Harold Klemp said when chanting the sacred name of God. The Master says, “Don’t expect the HU to work as you want, because God’s love, as it comes down and heals, does things Its way. Not my will but Thine be done – the non-directed prayer.”

That night, after they opened themselves to the will of God, and sang the HU, the parents and Babe had the soundest, most peaceful sleep they could ever remember. HU, the love song to God had brought healing to a sleep-deprived family.

On another occasion, a mutual friend introduced Ah Chan to me when I was at the gym. Ah Chan had been a Buddhist for 30 years. He used to chant his special mantra every day and found it useful in the course of his work. However, as time went on, he began to feel a void, which prompted his quest for truth....

I wanted to introduce the HU to him but he said the chant might conflict with his present teaching. I assured him that it would definitely not be in variance with his belief because HU is the Voice of God and every religion is enhanced by it. We went to a quiet corner in the sports club and sang HU quietly for ten minutes. After we stopped singing the HU he opened his eyes, which glistened with tears. He looked excitedly at me and related his experience.

He said whilst singing HU, he felt a big column of white light engulf him and above his head was a brilliant blue star. He was lifted slightly off the ground and he felt himself floating in the air. There was such lightness in him and the incredible surge of warmth and the love that washed over him moved him to tears! He said in his thirty years of chanting the Buddhist mantra he had never felt anything like that. ....

HU, the beautiful love song to God, led Ah Chan , a sincere truth seeker to the Light and Sound of God. .... An individual does not have to be a member of Eckankar to chant HU. .... Sri Harold says, “All I can offer you is the word HU. This is the name of God. Sing in to yourself, but first fill your heart with love.”
