ECKANKAR
Religion of the Light and Sound
of God
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. The
Mahanta gives inner guidance
through dreams, Soul Travel, and
the Spiritual Exercises of ECK.
Harold Klemp’s inspiring talks
and writing, 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.
We invite you to follow us
on meetup.com.
Please search meetup.com for
Eckankar in Los Angeles
to find information on other
Eckankar events held in the
Los Angeles area.
“The purpose of Eckankar is to
make God an everyday reality in
your life.
As Soul, you have the Godknowledge within you. The
teachings of ECK will awaken the
knowledge and love for the divine
things that are already in your
heart.
The road to God is the
adventure of a lifetime”.
—Harold Klemp
"The law which all seek to know is the great principle of life. Its simplicity is amazing for it is
summed up in the statement “Soul exists because God loves It”. In other words, all life
exists because God so wills it. This is the very foundation of life, the whole philosophy of
ECKANKAR." - The SHARIYAT –KI– SUGMAD, Book One, page. 142
ECK Worship Services – Sundays at 11 AM
The public is warmly invited to ECK Worship Services. Each service focuses on an aspect of
Eckankar. They often feature a reading from the ECK works, a spiritual exercise, music, and a guest
speaker, panel or group discussion of spiritual principles at work in daily life. The service lasts about
an hour. On the first and third Sundays we also offer a simultaneous Youth ECK Worship Service
for children ages 5 and up who attend the ECK Worship Service with their parents. Join us at the
Crossroads of the World in Hollywood at 6669 Sunset Boulevard, 90028 – 323-469-2325
November 2 – Transforming Your Life with the Sacred Word HU
“HU, the name of God, brings us into a holy alliance with the Light and Sound,
the word of God. Should the worlds tremble and all else fail, HU carries is into the
ocean of God’s love and mercy.”
—Harold Klemp, HU, The Most Beautiful Prayer, Page 64
November 9 – ECK Special Event
A Year of Spiritual Healing
Internet Video Broadcast of Harold Klemp,
The Mahanta, The Living ECK Master’s Talk From the 2014
ECK World Wide Seminar in Minneapolis, Minnesota
November 16 – Past Lives, Present Opportunities
“Sometimes there’s a strong bond between people and their pets, or a bond with
certain other people. And we wonder, Why such a strong bond? Often the
answers lie in a past life.
If we had the ability through a dream experience, Soul Travel, or the intuitive
powers of Soul to understand this connection between that other Soul and
ourselves, it would clear up so many things. It would let us treat other people with
more love and kindness, because we have an insight into our relationship with
them.”
—Harold Klemp, The Secret of Love, Page 199
November 23 – ECK Spiritual Discussion
Deepening Your Inner Connection with Spirit
“You can get to the most sacred part of yourself through contemplation, through
the Spiritual Exercises of ECK. Contemplation is a conversation with the most
secret, most genuine, and most mysterious part of yourself.”
—Harold Klemp, Spiritual Wisdom on Prayer, Meditation and Contemplation, Page 35
November 30 – Taking the Next Step to Spiritual Freedom
“Your steps to spiritual freedom are these: 1. Learn to love yourself, 2. Learn to
love others, (human love), and 3. This will open your heart to love for God. That is
the key to spiritual freedom.”
—Harold Klemp, HU, The Most Beautiful Prayer, Page 64
November 7 – Friday – ECK Spiritual Discussion
Deepening Your Inner Connection with Spirit
“You can get to the most sacred part of yourself through contemplation, through

HU: A Love Song to God -- We invite you to join us at a community HU Song.
“If you want to lift yourself to a higher state of consciousness—so that the political issues, the family
issues the social issues of the day do not throw you out of balance, so that you can find a happier,
more contented life while you’re living here—sing HU, the most beautiful prayer.”
—Harold Klemp, HU, the Most Beautiful Prayer, page 58
The Community HU Song is a gathering to sing this ancient love song to God. It’s simply for the
spiritual upliftment of those who come. If you would like to join us we would certainly enjoy having
you there. Please see the calendar for dates, times and locations.

Are You Ready to Take The Next Step
In Advanced Spiritual Study?
With membership in Eckankar you’ll receive the Easy Way
Discourses, a powerful study plan that unlocks the wisdom
inside you.
Each month you’ll explore a lesson from the Living ECK
Master. The ECK discourses are written with a secret internal
rhythm that gradually unfolds our consciousness. Each
lesson includes a new spiritual exercise to try during the
month.
These methods are a step by step plan that breaks up the
old, ingrained patterns and offers new keys to enlightenment.
Study the discourses privately or attend an ECK satsang
class. As a spiritual laboratory, ECK satsang is a place to
explore a wide range of ECK ideas, ask tough questions and
then experiment with new ways to find answers through
contemplation. Through this process you learn that you have
the creative power within yourself to solve life’s challenges.
The class meets monthly. It lasts between one hour and
one and a half hours. It will meet around the schedule of the
people who sign up.
Join us at the Los Angeles Eckankar Center
6669 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, Ca. 90028
For a suggested donation of $150.00 to the
Los Angeles Eckankar Center we have an
electronic piano with full size keyboard that
needs a good home. If you are interested
please call the center on 323-469-2325.
Workshops
ECK Workshops offer an opportunity to
thoroughly explore spiritual topics and
provide valuable tools for spiritual discovery.
Led by trained facilitators, workshops

discussion, creative activities, and questionand-answer periods.

ears among ECKists, those who study the ECK
teachings.

around the world and Eckankar spiritual study
groups in hundreds of cities. This global
community is supported by a worldwide spiritual
center in Minnesota and by volunteer groups
nearly everywhere.

What does Eckankar Mean?
Eckankar means “Co-Worker with
God”. It is the destiny of each Soul to
experience God and serve all life. ECK
is another word for the Life Force or
the Holy Spirit, which can be
experienced as Light and Sound. It is
also known as the Audible Life Stream.
