ECKANKAR: Exploring Spirituality in the Hudson Valley

Open your heart and sing the sacred mantra HU to experience Divine Love.

Experience how singing HU—a sacred name for God—can fill your heart with divine love and spiritualize your awareness. Join us in singing HU, followed by a welcoming discussion on the spiritual gifts of divine love and how a spiritual viewpoint can help us meet and resolve life’s challenges.

“HU is your key to your secret worlds. Once you learn to use this key, you will find a blending of your inner and outer worlds. You’ll find yourself filling with love. The teachings of ECK are all about God’s love for you – and also how you can have true love for God.”

—Harold Klemp, What Is Spiritual Freedom? p. 173

You are warmly invited to join an in-person Sound of Soul event, titled “Sing HU To Give and Receive Divine Love” that will take place on Sunday, February 15, 2026, from 11:00 AM–12:00 PM at the Eckankar Center of Rochester, 312 West Commercial Street, East Rochester, New York 14445.

Experience the love, the joy, and the freedom of Soul.

Explore your unlimited potential as Soul—creative, divine, and happy. At this ECK Light and Sound Service, we’ll explore ways to connect with Soul as a higher, lighter state of awareness. You’ll experience the heart-opening sound of HU and share insights and experiences in welcoming small-group discussions focused on living with the Soul viewpoint.

“What we’re called to is self-generating happiness. Self-sustaining happiness is possible because every Soul is foreordained to joy, love, and wisdom. You don’t need to wait. You can claim eternity now.”

“This earth is a big, old schoolhouse. In fact, so is this entire material level of existence called the physical plane. However, we’re here to learn more than just reading, writing, and arithmetic. We’re here to find our way back to God.”

— Harold Klemp, ECKANKAR—Ancient Wisdom for Today, pp. 1–2

You are warmly invited to attend the Eckankar in Central New York sponsored, in-person spiritual book discussions titled “Problem Solving, Prophecy, and Divine Love—Finding Your Way Home,” to be held at 2 Library Lane, New Hartford, NY 13413 (New Hartford Public Library, Sammon Room, downstairs).

This is the third session of a four-part spiritual book discussion that will take place on Monday, February 16, 2026, 6:15 pm–7:30 pm.

The fourth and final session, titled “Initiation, Masters, and Your Secret Path to God,” is on Monday, March 16, 2026, 6:15 pm–7:30 pm.

For each of the discussions, we will review key ideas of past gatherings, so all can feel comfortable participating in the conversation. You’re welcome to attend one or both of the next events—each offers its own unique insights.

Each attendee will receive a complimentary copy of ECKANKAR—Ancient Wisdom for Today, written by ECK Master Harold Klemp. This booklet will serve as a resource and inspiration for our discussion.

Ted Allen, a long-time student of Eckankar, will facilitate the event. He hopes you bring your stories, your experiences, and your life-long spiritual insights.

All are welcome!

Experience a powerful, yet simple practice to quiet the mind, relieve stress, and restore inner peace.

“Love is the doorway to spiritual freedom. And the Light and Sound of God opens that doorway of love. You must go through this doorway. You must have the love of God transform your life to realize the gift of spiritual freedom.

“The song of HU will bring you that love. The song of HU can bring you that gift.”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 10

This event begins with a 12-minute HU chant, followed by a few moments of quiet contemplation. We’ll continue with a warm and welcoming discussion, open to sharing, asking questions, or simply listening. No experience needed, just an open heart.

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.
