What we’re about
This group is operated by the New York Satsang Society, Inc., A Chartered Affiliate of Eckankar. October 1, 2022
Hello! This is a group for anyone who would like to explore how divine guidance is a part of our daily lives. We’ll share spiritual experiences with like-minded others and fine-tune our ability to listen to the inner voice, the quiet whisper that helps us navigate challenges and recognize the beauty of each day. We’ll learn techniques to gain understanding, consider possible past lives and waking dreams, and chart a path of well-being, wisdom, spiritual freedom, and awareness.
Have you had a spiritual experience? Meet other people who have had experiences like you. Discuss out-of-body adventures, dreams, déjà vu, near-death experiences, seeing an inner light, hearing an inner sound, or having a sense that you have lived before.
You and a friend are welcome to attend any or all events. There is never a charge for attending a Meetup.
This Meetup is sponsored by the NY Satsang Society, a chartered affiliate of Eckankar, the Path of Spiritual Freedom. Eckankar is an ancient spiritual teaching and a modern-day religion that offers spiritual techniques and resources for individuals to discover truth for themselves.

"The farther you go, the fewer maps are available to chart the path. There are fewer travelers. There are fewer players to tell you what to look for, what to watch out for. It is up to you to keep your eyes wide open and stay alert to the guidance of the ECK (Holy Spirit)." —Harold Klemp, ECK Wisdom on Inner Guidance, p. 34

“But before you can dance to the rhythm of life, you have to be aware that there is a rhythm. You have to know when you have bumped into the fence on the left or the fence on the right. And you have to know when you have broken right through the fence and gone completely off the path.”
—Harold Klemp, The Secret of Love, Mahanta Transcripts, Book 14, p. 191

Experience the joy of singing HU!
Come for an inspiring experience of personal chanting and contemplation with the uplifting sound of HU, an ancient mantra that opens the heart to the love of God. Then join in an exploration of the spiritual topics that arise from this inner focus.
“Singing HU, the most beautiful prayer, is a spiritual technique you can use to keep your balance in this world. It can help you keep your perspective.
“HU can protect. HU can give love, HU can heal. It can give peace of mind.
“But don’t expect HU to work as you want, because God’s love, as it comes down and heals, does things its way. You have to have confidence and love in your heart. Sing HU, and a door will open.”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 36
You are warmly invited to join us for this online Sound of Soul Event, “Sing HU to Open Your Heart”, on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, 12:30-1:30pm. All are welcome!
HU is a sacred mantra—the Sound behind all sounds. An ancient name for God, HU is a carrier of love between God and Soul. It enables you to open your heart to experience the miracles that occur when you give and receive love. Singing HU can align Soul with higher states of love, wisdom, and awareness.
Monica Shelmandine, the facilitator for this Sound of Soul Event, is looking forward to sharing the HU with you and exploring the heart-opening power of this sacred mantra.
