Eckankar - Spirituality Today

Discover the answers to “Who Am I?” and “Why Am I Here?”

Have you felt a spiritual awakening—a call to journey homeward? Finding Your Spiritual Mission is the focus of this ECK Light and Sound Service. Experience the uplifting sound of HU, an ancient mantra, explore your connection to the Light and Sound of God, and share insights in a welcoming small-group discussion.

“Odd as it may seem, you had a special reason for coming into this lifetime. It was to become a more godlike being, but most people do not realize this fact. They assume that birth is a fancy of destiny.

“All the lives you have ever lived were for the polishing of Soul. Like it or not, you are now at a higher and more spiritual level than in any prior incarnation.”

―Harold Klemp, The Call of Soul, p. 95

You are invited to attend an ECK Light and Sound Service, titled “Finding Your Spiritual Mission”
on Sunday, May 3, 2026, from 11:00 am–12:15 pm. All are welcome!

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

Living gracefully and gratefully opens your heart to a more fulfilling life.

At this Sound of Soul Event, you are invited to join others in chanting HU, an ancient mantra for about twelve minutes, followed by a short time in contemplation. This will be followed by a spiritual discussion in which you are invited to share your spiritual experiences, ideas, and questions.

“Graceful living, being gracious, means that you are filled with the blessings of God. And if you are filled with the blessings of God, you will certainly be someone who lives gracefully and graciously with others.”

—Harold Klemp, How the Inner Master Works, p. 1

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.

Lynne Latella, a long-time student of ECKANKAR, warmly invites to join us for this online Sound of Soul Event on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, 12:30 pm–1:30 pm. All are welcome!

Discover the Sacred Sound of HU, an ancient mantra that opens your heart and uplifts you spiritually.

Experience the transformative power of the HU chant at our Sound of Soul event. Join us for a 12-minute session of this sacred sound to connect with the divine within. Discover the peace, clarity, and spiritual growth it offers, followed by a facilitator-led spiritual conversation.

“As you sing HU, listen for a holy Sound. It may come in any number of ways: like the sound of a rumbling train, a singing bird, buzzing bees, a mellow flute, or even soothing guitars.

“It brings joy and wonder.

“The holy sounds are the creative action of the Life Force, the ECK, as It moves atoms in the invisible worlds. The Sound to reach your ears resonates with your state of consciousness.

“While singing HU, imagine the holy Sound of God cascading over you, like a waterfall of sparkling pure waters. It is cleansing the blemishes of spirit.

“The Sound opens a secret path to the joys of love and grace. You find peace, joy, and spiritual freedom.”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 70-71

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!
