HU is an ancient name for God, and the benefits of chanting it include a sense of inner peace, insights into challenges, improved health, attunement with one’s spiritual nature, and a greater awareness of life and love. Hosted by New York Satsang Society Inc., a chartered affiliate of Eckankar, Religion of the Light and Sound of God.
The Community HU Chant, which lasts for about 12 minutes, is open to people of all faiths, cultures, and backgrounds.

“Sometimes these angels appear physically during a life-threatening episode, then disappear. Other times, accompanied by blue or white light, they appear in an inner vision or a dream. Sometimes they appear as invisible friends to children. One common thread in all these appearances is that, through the experience, people's lives are changed for the better.
“In Eckankar, these angels are ECK Masters.”

The ECKANKAR Center of Rochester is located at 312 W. Commercial St., E. Rochester, NY14445. - Network event7 attendees from 8 groups hostingSing HU to Live in the Heart of Divine LoveLink visible for attendees
Discover the Sacred Sound of HU, an ancient mantra that opens your heart and uplifts you spiritually.
At this Sound of Soul event, join others in chanting HU for about 12 minutes, then continue to experience these beautiful vibrations in a few minutes of silent contemplation. This will be followed by a facilitator-led spiritual discussion in which you are invited to share your spiritual experiences, ideas and ask questions.
"“The word is HU. It depends upon no human authority for validation. It is what it is.
“From a practical standpoint, it is love's golden thread, drawing Soul closer to God, like an infant to its parent.
“HU is a love song to God. It uplifts and purifies us of the evils that make life too much to bear. It heals our wounds, soothes our brow: sweet, but mighty, name of God.”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 61
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.
All are welcome!
