The Tiger's Fang is Paul Twitchell's account of his incredible journey to other planes of existence where he finds himself in the company of Rebazar Tarzs, the great Tibetan ECK Master, ancient advocate of the ECK teachings.

About the author

When Paul Twitchell made Eckankar known to the modern world in 1965, he separated spiritual truths from the cultural trappings which had surrounded them. Average people could begin to experience the Light and Sound of God while still living a happy, steady, and productive life.

Paul Twitchell was born in Kentucky in the early part of the twentieth century and served in the US 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 different teachers. The high teachings of ECK had been scattered to the four corners of the world. Paul gathered these golden teachings of Light and Sound and made them readily available to us.

It was these God experiences he chronicled in his book, The Tiger's Fang. Paul Twitchell eventually joined the Vairagi Order and was given the task of bringing Eckankar to the world. He became the Living ECK Master.

By 1965, Paul was giving Soul Travel workshops in California and offering discourses on the teachings of Eckankar. A community of ECKists began to grow. In 1970, Eckankar was established as a nonprofit religious organization. Paul Twitchell died in 1971, but not before he initiated many into the ECK teachings.

The present-day Living ECK Master is Sri Harold Klemp. He continues to give new life to the age-old spiritual teachings of ECK. (www.Eckankar.org)

Lets take a journey to other planes and discover ourselves and the sound of God
It is the journey of one man discovering and sharing his adventure.

Wow, that was one of the most tedious reads of my life, I had to summon a lot of willpower to get through it. Read it because some redditor raved about it but I think a 10th grader pumped with 500mg of LSD could have written a more coherent book that had some structure and a narrative. What was up with all those weird acronyms - HURAY, VARDHAN, Rebadha Tarzs who exactly is he and what on earth did I just read? Sounds like someone tore the first few chapters. This is basically some old Indian, Christian and Sufi texts, stolen ideas and acronyms with a few edits here and there to make it sound new and packaged poorly.

I did find a few interesting ideas: one being that our mind being part of God creates entities on the psychic plane corresponding to the nature of our imagination. "By thinking in pictures instead of words, we can gain a better control of thoughts. By shifting the pictures in the mind to something more pleasant, that which is of a negative nature will disappear."

confusing at first, but stick with it

And all will become clearer. You came upon this book at the prompting of the Mahanta, whether directly or indirectly through another seeker/traveler who was also being led by The Living Eckmaster. Stay with it. Read it several times if that’s what it takes to gain understanding and insight, but don’t give up. This is book is full of much wisdom that may take a lifetime to fully comprehend.

Not my cup of tea.

[SuZanne · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the great books of the 20th Century. Filled with truth based on one man's personal experience not dogma. Those who scorn it, do not know the wisdom and power contained between its covers.
Read and be transformed. Or leave it for when you are ready for a consciousness change.

Terrific!

A story of a man’s inner journeys to discover God. What a great book! I highly recommend this book if you too are interested in learning more about yourself.
