About the Author
Paul Twitchell made Eckankar known to the modern world in 1965. He separated spiritual truths from the cultural trappings which had surrounded them. Everyday people could begin to experience the Light and Sound of God while living happy, steady, and productive lives. Born in Kentucky in the early part of this century, Paul Twitchell served in the U.S. Navy during the Second World War. A seeker from an early age, he was introduced to a group of spiritual Masters who would change the course of his life. These were the Vairagi ECK Masters. While they trained Paul to become the Living ECK Master, he explored a wide range of spiritual traditions under many teachers. The high teachings of ECK had been scattered to the four corners of the world. Paul gathered these golden teachings and made them readily available to us. Today they are found in Eckankar, Religion of the Light and Sound of God. By 1965, Paul was conducting Soul Travel workshops in California and Eckankar began to grow. Paul Twitchell died in 1971, after he initiated many into the ECK teachings. The present Living ECK Master is Sri Harold Klemp. He continues in Paul Twitchell's footsteps, giving new life to the age-old spiritual teachings of ECK.

The Key,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stranger by the River (Hardcover)
Stranger by the River is like a key to your heart, a key to God. It will truly open you to Divine Love. Each poetic chapter is a short dialogue between "the seeker" and the "Sat Guru"(Rebazar Tarz). Read one chapter each night before bedtime as a contemplative exercise to open you to the magnificent dream worlds within.

changed my life,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stranger by the River (Hardcover)
I was given this book over 25 years ago. My life then was like the northern european weather - prone to long grey periods with the occasional patch of sunlight. Stranger By the River is a book of the heart. It transcends religious denominations as easily as time itself. Wherever your Spiritual Path takes you, this book will ensure you have plenty of light and sound to show you the way. I read a chapter at a Catholic funeral of an old friend not so long ago. Amongst others, even the Priest wanted to know who wrote the words. They are indeed a gift of love.

THOUGHT PROVOKING AND PROFOUND!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stranger by the River (Hardcover)
Shimmering vibrant images, thought provoking phrases float off the pages re-igniting some deep long repressed yearning for answers. Such is this lyrical, almost poetic tale. For example, "The wind ruffled the willows and whipped up the surface of the river. The Tibetan walked slowly along the bank studying the sunlight that glistened upon the water, and the seeker followed, watching every movement of the magnificient figure in his maroon robe". or"Love is like a slow , consuming fire which starts in the center of man's heart and slowly moves outward, destroying all that is in its path. Nothing can stop love, and even when it appears to be quenched, it will break out somewhere else. So it is with freedom".I also liked, the passage on being a magnet of Love. I like this book. After I finished reading it, the words, the rhythm remained in my mind resonating like a Mozart Sonata. Akin to Gibran's, "The Prophet" or even the ancient songs of David. Thought-provoking and profound.
