6 Religions You Never Knew Existed
Eckankar- U.S.
Eckankar means “Co-Worker with God.” Eckankar was established in 1965 by John Paul Twitchell. It worships the divine spirit “Eck” and believes that the soul is constantly reincarnated until it achieves spiritual liberation. The religion teaches that spiritual growth is only possible through special meditative exercises similar to yoga. Through these practices, the soul can escape the physical form and enter the Sugmad, or spiritual realm. Successful completion of one’s spiritual journey results in a reunification with Eck.
