Eckankar, meaning "co-worker" with God, believes in a "God" named Sugmand who is perceived as neither male or female. All the chelas, or students, are connected to the heart of Sugmad through an Eck current, which is always flowing in constant motion down to the lower levels and then back up again to the creator. This current expresses itself in one of two ways, "Inner Light" or "Inner Sound". Thus the alternative name of the group is The Religion of Light and Sound.

Simply put, Sugmad is the name of the flow of energy/the Creator of all things, according to Eckankar, the Religion of Light and Sound.
Ignore the write up below as it is incorrect in what Eckists call the IT, which is Sugmad, not Sugmand. Also, the link that was provided, (which I did remove) took the reader to an unofficial site concerning Eckankar which provided incorrect information about the religion. The webpage actually contained slanderous information.
