About us
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.

Sing HU to Open Your Heart
·OnlineOnline19 attendees from 8 groupsDiscover 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 chanting this sacred sound to connect with the divine within yourself. Discover the peace, clarity, and spiritual growth that comes from immersing yourself in the uplifting vibrations of the HU. A facilitator-led spiritual conversation will follow the HU song.
“Occasionally we go to a far world which has a beauty beyond words. There is no true way to describe what is seen. The closest is to say it’s a world illuminated by two golden suns, and everything is seen through a golden veil. When Soul comes here and begins walking into the land of gold, It wants never to return; It wants to go on forever.
“There is a yearning to go even farther, farther than ever before, because the love of God always draws you on.
“But our responsibilities bring us back. And the only way we can ever go further into the heart of God is to face our responsibilities to serve God in this world. This is the paradox that both allows us to grow and gives us the yearning to want to grow.
“Sing HU, and you will find the way to the world of Golden Light that is exactly right for you.”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 79
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!

Dispelling Fear with the Sound of HU
·OnlineOnline10 attendees from 8 groupsWhere there is divine love, there can be no fear.
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 where you’re invited to share experiences, exchange ideas, and ask questions.
“It’s our attitude—the way we look at things—that often determines whether we are happy or miserable, whether we are full of love or full of fear.”
Harold Klemp, The Secret of Love, p. 29
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.
