ECKANKAR: Exploring Spirituality in the Hudson Valley

Learn to recognize the importance of change in our lives—a Divine teaching tool, a key to moving ahead spiritually.

Have you ever learned a deep spiritual lesson from one of life’s unexpected changes? At this ECK Light and Sound Service, you can experience the uplifting sound of HU, explore how Soul connects with the Light and Sound of God each day, and share in a welcoming small-group discussion on finding divine guidance in daily life.

“In all things it is to our advantage to listen to the ECK [the Holy Spirit], a sure guide.

“Will all then go ‘right’? If your viewpoint is housed in the human consciousness, you will appear to win out over some quandaries but lose out to others. Let your viewpoint be centered in the spiritual realm, however, and you realize that every experience is for your good. The ECK [The Holy Spirit] is giving you vital experiences to expand your state of consciousness.”

—Harold Klemp, ECK Wisdom on Inner Guidance, p. 42

You are invited to attend an ECK Light and Sound Service, titled “Life’s Changes—Moving Forward Spiritually” on Sunday, November 2, 2015, from 11:00 am–12:15 pm. All are welcome!

This hybrid (online/in-person) event will be hosted at the ECKANKAR Center of Rochester, located at: 312 West Commercial Street, East Rochester, NY 14445

Discover the HU, a mantra that can uplift people of any religion, culture, or walk of life.

Recognize the Light and Sound within all life, by singing HU, an ancient name for God. Then join in a spiritual conversation exploring the many gifts and expressions of Divine love.

“Occasionally we go to a far world which has a beauty beyond words. There is no true way to describe what is seen. The closest is to say it’s a world illuminated by two golden suns, and everything is seen through a golden veil. When Soul comes here and begins walking into the land of gold, It wants never to return; It wants to go on forever.

“There is a yearning to go even farther, farther than ever before, because the love of God always draws you on.

“But our responsibilities bring us back. And the only way we can ever go further into the heart of God is to face our responsibilities to serve God in this world. This is the paradox that both allows us to grow and gives us the yearning to want to grow.

“Sing HU, and you will find the way to the world of Golden Light that is exactly right for you.”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 79
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. All are welcome!

Learn the importance of tapping into your creativity, your imagination, your intuition, and your inner nudges.

Have you ever received spiritual guidance through a dream or daydream? Have you used creativity to solve a problem? Join us for an interactive discussion on recognizing spiritual guides and learning exercises to attune to the Voice of God. Share your stories and experiences as we explore the many ways we receive inner guidance.

“God is always speaking to us and all life through the Holy Spirit.

“Listen to God’s Voice. Respond to It spiritually and know that, despite every appearance to the contrary, all is well and in its rightful place.”

—Harold Klemp, ECK Wisdom on Inner Guidance, p. 37

You are warmly invited to our online spiritual discussion titled “Inner Guidance—Following Your Heart,” based on the booklet ECK Wisdom on Inner Guidance, to be held on Sunday, November 9, 2025, from 11:00 am–12:00 pm.

It is not necessary to have the booklet before the event. Quotes for discussion will be provided at the event.

Open your heart to God’s love and find inner peace and the joy of living.

At this Sound of Soul Event, you are invited to join others in chanting HU, an ancient mantra for about twelve minutes, followed by a short time in contemplation. This will be followed by a spiritual discussion in which you are invited to share your spiritual experiences, ideas, and ask questions.

“Sing HU and this may help you open your heart to God’s love. Then you will find the miracles happening in your life, too.”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 13

Lynne Latella, a long time student of ECKANKAR warmly invites to join us for this online Sound of Soul event on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, 12:30 pm–1:30 pm. 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.
Singing HU can bring healing for body, mind, and spirit. It enables you to open your heart to experience the miracles that occur when you give and receive love.
