ECKANKAR: Exploring Spirituality in the Hudson Valley

The uplifting Sound of HU allows us to harmonize with Divine energy.

Singing HU can awaken the divine state of consciousness within us. We begin with a 12-minute HU chant and a short silent contemplation. A conversation follows during which everyone will have the opportunity to share and ask questions. Join us to learn an easy way to bring the awareness of Soul into your everyday life.

“HU is a love song to God. It uplifts and purifies us of the evils that make life too much to bear. It heals our wounds, soothes our brow: sweet, but mighty, name of God.”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 61

The awareness and attunement with the HU allow Soul to become a greater expression of Divine Love. It enables you to open your heart to experience the miracles that occur when you give and receive love.

Join The Easy Way Satsang course and let the spiritual transformation begin!

The Easy Way Discourses offer a living roadmap to spiritual transformation. By enrolling as a student of ECK, you’ll explore one lesson each month in a supportive spiritual forum, called Satsang, gaining insight into life’s experiences and spiritual wisdom. This year-long class meets monthly to deepen understanding and encourage shared learning among fellow students.

“As you study the teachings of ECK, you will experience a series of changes in your heart and mind—changes that bring more love, joy, and purpose into your life.”
