Eckankar: Compiled Writings Volume 1

Eckankar is a religious movement founded by Paul Twitchell (1909-1971) in 1963. The personal experience of the "Light and Sound of God" is one of the aims of the many spiritual exercises that are delineated in the numerous books available to the general public as well as in the discourses accessible to members only. Eckankar followers believe it provides an individual spiritual path to an understanding of self as eternal Soul and the development of higher states of consciousness. Twitchell is accepted by the members of that group as the Mahanta, or Living ECK Master of his time. Twitchell wrote dozens of books and discourse study programs under Eckankar, gave public lectures around the world, and also wrote thousands of letters. This book consists of a collection of his writings put together by his wife after his death.
