Explore keys to awaken the God-knowledge within.

Are you ready to accept greater love, blessings and responsibility in your life?
Discover techniques to tap into divine guidance, experience the uplifting sound of HU,
and join in a welcoming discussion on the gifts of a changed consciousness through everyday challenges.

“In ECK we talk about taking total responsibility for our actions. Total spiritual responsibility. I know it’s a big step, but if you understand the Law of Cause and Effect, you know that something you did two weeks ago, two months ago, two years ago, or two lifetimes ago has an effect today.

“Everything you do will have an effect. The seeds you plant always come back to you. Always.”

—Harold Klemp, The Slow Burning Love of God, Mahanta Transcripts, Book 13, p.175

You are invited to attend an ECK Light and Sound Service, titled “The Law of Returns—Lessons and Blessings,” on Sunday, September 6, 2026, from 11:00 am–12:00 pm. All are welcome!

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

Discover the Sound of HU to fill yourself with love and connect with Divine Spirit.

Experience the transformative power of the HU chant at our Sound of Soul event. Join us for a 12-minute session of chanting this sacred sound to connect with the divine within yourself. Discover the peace, clarity, and spiritual growth that comes from immersing yourself in the uplifting vibrations of the HU. A facilitator-led spiritual conversation will follow the HU song.

“There is a stream of consciousness from the mind that constantly goes through you. Chanting the HU keeps the stream pure.
Singing this sacred prayer song, this ancient name of God, purifies the thoughts which lead to your actions. It makes for a happier, more harmonious life.
You’ll find by practicing this spiritual exercise every day upliftment comes as you are ready for it.”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 56

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. 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 how the inner nudges that we experience are the call of Soul moving us closer to God.

Have you ever felt there is more to life waiting to be discovered? Join us for a spiritual book discussion exploring the pursuit of God, acceptance, truth, and the importance of listening. Together, we’ll share insights and experiences in a welcoming environment that encourages reflection, understanding, and spiritual discovery.

“If you are a sincere seeker of truth, you realize that something within you is constantly pushing you from the nest. You know the answers you seek do exist somewhere in the world. This inner force that pushes you to find the answers is an urge you have no control over.

“It is the call of Soul.”

—Harold Klemp, The Call of Soul, p. 1

You are warmly invited to attend our online spiritual book discussion titled, “The Call of Soul—In Pursuit of God,” that will take place on Sunday, September 13, 2026, from 11:00 am–12:00 pm.

Fill yourself with joy as you explore the world around you—open your heart to love and let God love you.

Experience the transformative power of singing the sacred HU and connecting with the Divine Sound Current, the Voice of God. Join in a 12-minute HU chant followed by a brief contemplation. You are then invited to share your spiritual experiences, express your ideas, and ask your questions in an interactive, facilitator-led spiritual discussion.

“Life is precious. Love it, and it will return unfoldment to you a thousand times. We live in a time of unequaled spiritual opportunity.”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 59

As we grow in awareness and attunement with the resonance of the HU, Soul unfolds as a fuller expression of Divine Love. Singing HU enables us to open our hearts to experience the miracles that occur when we give and receive love.
