ECKANKAR: Exploring Spirituality

Explore ways to recognize God’s presence in the miracles around you.

In this ECK Light and Sound Service, you will have the opportunity to experience the heart-opening sound of HU, delve deeper into your relationship with Divine Spirit, and discover spiritual practices that can elevate and enrich every aspect of your life. You will also partake in a facilitator-led small group discussion where personal stories and experiences about manifesting our highest potential can be shared.

“God’s love is all around us all the time, so much so that most people are unaware of it. We take God’s love for granted because it’s as commonplace as the grass, the trees, the birds. It’s so commonplace that we overlook it, even forget about it.

“God’s love flows equally to all people. But all people do not recognize God’s love equally, because everyone's state of consciousness is different.”

—Harold Klemp, Our Spiritual Wake-Up Calls, Mahanta Transcripts 15, p. 153

We welcome you to this ECK Light and Sound Service, “God’s Love in Action” on Sunday, June 15, 2025, 11:00 am–12:15 pm.

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.

“Soul exists because God loves It.

“You are Soul. In Its pure form, nothing is more elegant or regal than Soul, for It is the handiwork of the Creator.

“Yet life is a mystery until we begin to understand that we can be the creators of our own world. In truth, what we are today is a creation of that which we have made from the past. There is a way to change the future.

“Sing HU, this ancient name for God. Open yourself to the guidance, insights, love, and wonder of Divine Spirit raining Its blessings into your life. Silently say, ‘Thy will be done’ with all your trust and gratitude.”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 37

You are warmly invited to join us for this online Sound of Soul Event on Monday, June 16, 2025, 7:00 pm-8:00 pm. All are welcome!

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.

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.

Sing HU and connect with the Divine Being.

You are warmly invited to join like-hearted people in chanting HU, a name for God, with love for about 12 minutes, ending with a few moments of silent contemplation. Then explore how this simple spiritual exercise, whether in times of trouble or inner peace, leads you to truth—to the Divine Being.

“Times to chant HU include when you are in trouble. When things are not going well at the office, when you’ve had a bad day or someone else is having a bad day and you happen to be lower on the pecking order, you might sing HU.

“It’s a love song to God, a connection between Soul and the Divine Being, the Ancient of Days. If you really care about finding truth, sing HU.”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 40

Join us for this online Sound of Soul event, “Find Truth When You’re in Trouble,” on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, from 12:30 pm–1:30 pm. All are welcome!
