I am really irate when I have found out that the founder of our religion Eckankar, was put into a mental institution because he was so dangerous, and still our leader continues to teach, from all of his ideas.

But what really bothers me is our current leader was also in a mental ward for the criminally insane. All these years I have studied Eckankar and none of my arahats or the Living Eck Master told us that Paul Twitchell was in a mental institution. I did not even know until today that our current Eckankar leader, was in a mental ward, for public exposure, at an airport! 

I have been constantly badgered by my arahata and local spiritual aides and clerics, because I have questioned all the fighting taking place amongst them. Then they gain up on me, and unleash fury for me, wanting to keep our Eckankar centers free of such disturbances. Despite corona virus they are still harassing me on our group online meetings.

As a high initiate I have spent thousands of dollars over years to go to events in Minneapolis, and here I am out of pocket and wasting my money because now, I have found out that eckankar is a sham. I told so many people these stories based on what I thought was the truth, and didn’t know that my spiritual leaders, had been in mental wards.

Our current leader knew all the time, and I was never told this by anyone although this is inside information apparently, about Paul Twitchell, which was known for years!

No wonder so many chelas have been pestering me. It seems to me the members bothering me are almost like our leader, and the founder of Eckankar Paul Twitchell, absolute lunatics, maybe?. My discomfort has increased by each year and I never knew any of this regarding Paul Twitchell or the living Eck Master now.

When is the government going to intervene for people like me who cannot get any justice from Eckankar, whom continues to make this charade, that is crippling my peace of mind, maybe others, as well. I hope I get help, that is all I can do.

If you are thinking of joining Eckankar, stay clear of it or you could be over your head in stress, and absolute lies, known, but not told outright to any paying member.

When you get right down to it, ALL organized religion is a sham and just something to seperate you and your money.  Your religion should be a personal, spiritual thing between you and whatever higher power you believe in. True belief has nothing to do with money.
