I have found it fascinating that new religious movements (NRMs) are still being born even in our day, as if we haven't quite gotten things right yet. This one, (re)born in 1965, is actually quite high profile and boasts over 50,000 members. While at University, I often perused and collected the religious literature tacked up on the bulletin boards in the hallways, including the Eckankar stuff -- some of it was quite colourful, and always interesting. Of course there is a purported dark side to this NRM, but I'll let the extra-curious reader find that information on the internet by themselves -- as always, I recommend people acquaint themselves with all sides of most issues, taking sources obviously with agendas with a few grains of salt...
