“When you sing HU, you are spiritualizing your attention. You are saying, ‘I am putting all my attention, heart, and Soul upon the highest good I can imagine.’”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 39

You are warmly invited to join us for this online Sound of Soul Event, “Chanting HU Can Transform Your Daily Life,” on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, 12:30 pm–1:30 pm. All are welcome!

HU is 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.

Discover how singing HU can transform your life.

HU is a sacred mantra known as the Sound of Soul. This special Sound of Soul event begins with the opportunity to join others of like heart in a 12-minute HU chant followed by a short contemplation. A facilitator will then lead an open discussion on the spiritual topics that arise after singing HU. The conversation may include some focus on techniques to unlock God’s blessings with the expanded consciousness that occurs when the sound of HU opens your heart.

“If you want to lift yourself to a higher state of consciousness—so that the political issues, the family issues, the social issues of the day do not throw you out of balance, so that you can find a happier, more contented life while you’re living here—sing HU, the most beautiful prayer.”

—Harold Klemp, HU, the Most Beautiful Prayer, p. 58

You are warmly invited to attend this Eckankar in New York sponsored, in-person, Sound of Soul Event, titled “HU—Key to a Happier Life,” that will take place on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, 6:30 pm–7:30 pm, at 32 Church Street, Cortland, NY 13045 (Cortland Free Library,

The song of HU, sung or chanted each day for several minutes, can bring you to a higher state of consciousness that opens the door to Divine Love. This gift of an open heart helps you deal with daily challenges with grace and patience. You may experience a connection to Divine Spirit that touches those around you. Join us to experience and discuss the benefits of singing HU.

Discover your spiritual wakeup calls.

Divine Spirit speaks to each of us in many ways. Awaken to the presence of God within you to find love, guidance, and understanding. At this ECK Light and Sound Service, attendees will have the opportunity to experience the sacred sound of HU, explore techniques to help recognize Divine Spirit in everyday life, and partake in a group discussion where spiritual experiences can be shared.

“Divine love comes to us in surprising ways, often unrecognized ways. So that when it does come, we do not recognize that the Holy Spirit has spoken to us—to help make our sojourn in this world a little better, a little more enlightening.”

—Harold Klemp, The Awakened Heart, p. 90

“If you are open to the Holy Spirit, you will find truth coming to you through the actions and words of other people. This is a facet of the ECK-Vidya, the ancient science of prophecy. I call it the Golden-tongued Wisdom.

“When God speaks to you through others, the words may even come via the electronic media. . . . Suddenly a sentence pops out that is precisely for you. It may mean nothing to anyone else, but for you it has a significant meaning.”

—Harold Klemp, The Drumbeat of Time, (as qtd in “ECKANKAR—Ancient Wisdom for Today,” p. 73)
