About us
This group is operated by the New York Satsang Society, Inc., A Chartered Affiliate of Eckankar. October 1, 2022
Hello! This is a group for anyone who would like to explore how divine guidance is a part of our daily lives. We’ll share spiritual experiences with like-minded others and fine-tune our ability to listen to the inner voice, the quiet whisper that helps us navigate challenges and recognize the beauty of each day. We’ll learn techniques to gain understanding, consider possible past lives and waking dreams, and chart a path of well-being, wisdom, spiritual freedom, and awareness.
Have you had a spiritual experience? Meet other people who have had experiences like you. Discuss out-of-body adventures, dreams, déjà vu, near-death experiences, seeing an inner light, hearing an inner sound, or having a sense that you have lived before.
You and a friend are welcome to attend any or all events. There is never a charge for attending a Meetup.
This Meetup is sponsored by the NY Satsang Society, a chartered affiliate of Eckankar, the Path of Spiritual Freedom. Eckankar is an ancient spiritual teaching and a modern-day religion that offers spiritual techniques and resources for individuals to discover truth for themselves.

"The farther you go, the fewer maps are available to chart the path. There are fewer travelers. There are fewer players to tell you what to look for, what to watch out for. It is up to you to keep your eyes wide open and stay alert to the guidance of the ECK (Holy Spirit)." —Harold Klemp, ECK Wisdom on Inner Guidance, p. 34

“HU is a carrier of love between you and God.
“HU can be sung silently at work, home, or anytime you feel a need to tune in to a higher perspective on your life. You might try experimenting with it when you face a challenging situation or want to open yourself to a more loving attitude.
“Singing HU each day can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself and why things happen the way they do in your life. It opens your awareness to new viewpoints and attitudes. Anyone can work with the HU regardless of age, background, or religion.
“HU, the most beautiful prayer, is a gift to the world.”
