ECK Community HU Chants
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.

Hear the sound of HU at www.HearHU.org.

ECK Light and Sound Services
You are warmly invited to attend an ECK Light and Sound Service.
Each service focuses on an aspect of Eckankar, and features a reading from the ECK works, a HU chant, and a group discussion of spiritual principles at work in daily life.
Services may also include creative arts, a talk, or a video excerpt of a talk by Harold Klemp, the spiritual leader of Eckankar. The ECK Light and Sound Service lasts about an hour. Join others seeking to bring more divine love into their lives at this special celebration of the Light and Sound of God.

ECK Spiritual Discussions
ECK Spiritual discussions include roundtable discussions focused on the many facets of living the spiritual life in today's world. Discuss how past lives, dreams and Soul Travel help you find God.
