Explore your potential for greater happiness, love, and understanding by chanting HU
It is scientifically proven that there are many benefits of chanting a sacred sound. All are invited to participate in chanting the sacred word HU. HU is an ancient name for God, and the benefits of chanting it include a sense of inner peace, insights into challenges, improved health, attunement with one’s spiritual nature, and a greater awareness of life and love. Hosted by New York Satsang Society Inc., a chartered affiliate of Eckankar, Religion of the Light and Sound of God.
The Community HU Chant, which lasts for about 12 minutes, is open to people of all faiths, cultures, and backgrounds.

Sing HU and connect with the Divine Being.
You are warmly invited to join like-hearted people in chanting HU, a name for God, with love for about 12 minutes, ending with a few moments of silent contemplation. Then explore how this simple spiritual exercise, whether in times of trouble or inner peace, leads you to truth—to the Divine Being.
“Times to chant HU include when you are in trouble. When things are not going well at the office, when you’ve had a bad day or someone else is having a bad day and you happen to be lower on the pecking order, you might sing HU.
“It’s a love song to God, a connection between Soul and the Divine Being, the Ancient of Days. If you really care about finding truth, sing HU.”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 40
Join us for this online Sound of Soul event, “Find Truth When You’re in Trouble,” on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, from 12:30 pm–1:30 pm. All are welcome!
HU is a sacred mantra—an ancient name for God. It is a carrier of love between God and Soul. You are Soul, a divine spark of God, and HU is the Sound of Soul! Singing HU with love every day will connect you with the Source of all truth.
Each Sound of Soul Event is a sacred occasion—an authentic and unique spiritual adventure. We look forward to exploring the unlimited blessings of the HU with you.

- Network event17 attendees from 8 groups hostingSolving Problems—Tapping into Soul's CreativityLink visible for attendees
Learn to tune in to spiritual guidance that can transform the way you see yourself and your life.
Discover the secrets to unlocking your creative problem-solving abilities in this month's discussion of the booklet ECKANKAR—Ancient Wisdom for Today. Explore why challenges arise, how we can grow from them, and the power of using our creativity to overcome obstacles. Join us as we share inspiring stories and valuable lessons from our own journeys of problem-solving. Bring your insights, your spiritual experiences, and your questions.
“The spiritual life is not meant to finally end the succession of problems, for they are given as opportunities for Soul's unfoldment. What the spiritual student does develop, however, is the inner link with the ECK, the Holy Spirit. Thus he taps into the Supreme Creative Force that guides him around all the blocks in his path that once defeated him.
“One's ability to take charge of his own life increases. This is a solid step toward self-mastery and that state of consciousness called the kingdom of heaven.”
—Harold Klemp, A Modern Prophet Answers Your Key Questions about Life, Book 1, pp. 25-6
You are warmly welcome to attend an online spiritual discussion on the booklet, ECKANKAR—Ancient Wisdom for Today, on Sunday, June 22, 2025, 11:00 am–12:00 pm.
