Title

Sign Viewed Upon Entry to the Temple

Subject

New Religious Movements, Eckankar

Description

The wide array of reactions to Eckankar's coming to Chanhassen is closely related to its status as a New Religious Movement. To understand Eckankar, as with any religion, it is necessary to engage with questions of authenticity and legitimacy. Eckankar serves as a fascinating locus for these issues because of its relationship with and appropriation of other religious traditions and characteristics (use of Sikh terminology, the influences of Hindu concepts of dharma and karma).
