Eckankar Ghana, is set to hold its international seminar in Accra in which more than 6000 members from across the globe are expected to attend.
Described as a soul searching gathering, the prestigious event, slated for August 5 to 7, has the theme, “waking up to the call of soul.”
It’s the biggest event on the Calender of Eckankar, the religion of light and sound which are the manifestations of the voice of God.
The rotational event among Eckankar member countries in Africa, and held in Ghana every eight years, provides the platform to share knowledge towards experiencing the love of God.
Held annually, the topics for the seminar are aimed at rejuvenating belief in the religion and helping participants to face the challenges of life more confidently.
Dr. Samuel Dufu, Regional Representative of the Spiritual Head of Eckankar, briefing journalists on the upcoming event, said they have prepared adequately for the international seminar.
He said the new 6000 capacity Temple is ready while other facilities such as accommodation have been arranged for to ensure the success of the event.
He said apart from Eckankar members, “all others are invited to come and listen to the speakers and experience the love of God.”
On the benefits of the seminar, he explained that the speakers would aid the participants to find keys to happier life and to strengthen their spiritual consciousness with God.
Touching on the perception that Eckankar is a form of occult, Dr. Dufu said that perception was very unfortunate because Eckankar is just like any church in Ghana.
“We are not occult,” he said, adding that “we believe in God as the Almighty and creator of the earth and giver of life.”
The only difference is that Eckankar is a religion of light and sound which are manifestation of God’s voice that guides his people through life.
Eckanker, he said teaches people to have an interrogative mind about life to enable them to discover who they really are so as to aspire to higher creativity.
“We help you to unlock your true potential with the spiritual laws of life,” he said, adding that through spiritual consciousness, one can hear and rely on the voice of God for guidance in life.
He challenged all those who have negative perception about the church to visit them and verify the claims for themselves.
“we stand for the truth, and the truth is the link that connect are religions,” he stressed.
