ECKANKAR: Exploring Spirituality

Awaken to the simplicity of living the spiritual life: The art of giving and receiving love.

Choosing love in every situation can transform daily life. At this ECK Light and Sound Service, explore your true nature as a love-filled spiritual being, experience the uplifting sound of HU, and share insights in a small-group discussion. Discover how living from the Soul viewpoint opens the heart and brings a loving perspective to life.

“It is love that imparts vitality to our minds and hearts and enables it to germinate. The law of love will bring to you all necessity for your spiritual growth and maturity.

“Therefore, if you desire love, try to realize that the only way to get love is by giving love. That the more you give, the more you get; and the only way in which you can give is to fill yourself with it, until you become a magnet of love.”

—Paul Twitchell, Stranger by the River, p. 38 (1987 edition)

“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

Awaken the inner guidance already within you with the transformative song of HU.

Explore the Sound of Soul, a simple spiritual technique that opens the heart to receiving inner guidance. Join others in chanting the ancient mantra HU for twelve minutes, followed by quiet contemplation and a welcoming spiritual discussion where you may share experiences, insights, or questions in a relaxed and supportive setting.

“HU is an old name for God, and if you sing it, it’s a love song to God. It’s a very simple song, but if you’re in trouble, in pain, in need of comfort, or in need of love, sing HU quietly to yourself.”

——Harold Klemp, The Slow Burning Love of God p. 208

You are warmly invited to join us for this online Sound of Soul Event, “Discover Inner Guidance by Listening to the Many Ways that God Speaks to You,” on Monday, March 16, 2026, 7:00 pm–8:00 pm. All are welcome!

Harmonize with and be uplifted by the Sound of Soul, the Divine current that is woven within every life experience.

Singing HU can awaken the divine state of consciousness within us. We begin with a 12-minute HU chant and a short silent contemplation. A conversation follows during which everyone will have the opportunity to share and ask questions. Join us to learn an easy way to bring the awareness of Soul into your everyday life.

“No matter how poorly we think we’ve done, no matter how poorly we did or didn’t do—there is always now. And now is the key to eternity. Now is the key to who we really are and the key to who we can become.”

—Doug Kunin, “Fulfill Your Potential as Soul,” recorded talk for the 2025 Indian ECK Soul Adventure Seminar

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