What we’re about
This group is operated by the New York Satsang Society, Inc., A Chartered Affiliate of Eckankar. October 1, 2022.
Have you had a spiritual experience?
Here you can meet others who have had experiences like yours. Ordinary “coincidences” or out-of-body adventures, lucid dreams, déjà vu, near-death experiences, seeing inner light, hearing inner sound, or a sense that you have lived before, all are clues to our Divine nature.
Join us to explore what these experiences can mean! We will be sharing techniques to help you explore your own inner worlds! Sponsored by Eckankar, The Path of Spiritual Freedom.

Discover the HU, a mantra that can uplift people of any religion, culture, or walk of life
Come for an inspiring experience of personal chanting and contemplation with the uplifting sound of HU, an ancient mantra that opens the heart to the love of God. Then join in an exploration of the spiritual topics that arise from this inner focus.
“You can open yourself and gain a greater awareness of who and what you are as Soul. You can do this by singing HU. Sing it to yourself, or sing it out loud. But do it every day.
“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.”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 53
HU is a carrier of love between God and Soul. Singing HU can bring healing for body, mind, and spirit, and align soul with higher states of love, wisdom, and awareness.
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!

- Network event7 attendees from 5 groups hostingLessons of Love and Gratitude: Stepping-Stones along Life’s JourneyECKANKAR Center of Rochester, East Rochester, NY
Embrace the obstacles in our lives as gifts for spiritual growth and strength.
Holding a spiritual viewpoint can help us recover from the challenges that life brings us. This ECK Light and Sound Service will offer keys to help us recognize the gifts within the stumbling blocks along our path. Join us to explore your nature as Soul, participate in a Spiritual Exercise, bathe in the Sound of HU, and have an opportunity to share your stories and insights in small group discussions. You are invited to enjoy fellowship with like-minded Souls after the service. All are welcome.
“When we go through the experiences that are part of our everyday lives, often there are times of joy in between the lessons. But sometimes it seems there are a lot more rocks in our way than soft grass to walk on. There are always things underfoot, things to make us trip or stumble.
“But these stumbling blocks can be stepping-stones, as I've mentioned before. It depends on our attitude.”
—Harold Klemp, The Slowing Burning Love of God, Mahanta Transcripts, Book 13, p. 101
