This is direct copy:

Eckankar, Religion of the Light and Sound of God, is a teaching founded by Paul Twitchell in 1965. It exists in multiple countries throughout the world, and is run largely on a volunteer basis through “ECK Centers.” The Eckankar headquarters are in Chanhassen, Minnesota (southwest of Minneapolis), and are home to the Temple of ECK, an outdoor chapel, an administrative building, and the ECK “Spiritual Campus.” Sri Harold Klemp has been the spiritual leader of Eckankar since October 1981.

Officially, the word Eckankar translates roughly to “Co-Worker with God,”but is akin to the Sikh term, Ek Onkar. Eckankar has used several descriptors after its name: “The Ancient Science of Soul Travel,” “A Way of Life,” and “The Religion of the Light and Sound of God.”

Eckankar emphasizes personal spiritual experiences as the most natural way back to God.These are attained via “soul travel” or shifting the awareness from the body to the inner planes of existence. One of the basic tenets of the teaching is that soul (awareness or consciousness) can leave the body in full consciousness and travel freely in other planes of reality.

Eckankar teaches that “spiritual liberation” in one’s lifetime is available to all. The membership card for Eckankar states: “The aim and purpose of Eckankar has always been to take soul by its own path back to its divine source.”
