ECKANKAR, RELIGION OF THE LIGHT AND SOUND OF GOD

ECKANKAR is ancient wisdom for today. Its teachings, which resurfaced
in 1965, emphasize the value of personal experiences as the most
natural way back to God. Whatever your religious background, they show
how to look and listen within yourself--to expand your consciousness
and enjoy spiritual connectedness. For more information on Eckankar,

HU-- A LOVE SONG TO GOD

HU is an ancient name for God. It's a love song to God...
It represents the love of God for Soul. And we are Soul.
It represents the enormous love that the Creator has for ITS
creation.
--Harold Klemp, Spiritual leader of Eckankar

You have the potential for greater happiness, love and understanding.
Singing HU can bring these to you--through the Light and Sound of God.

Throughout the ages, followers of many spiritual traditions have
used prayer, the singing of holy words, and meditation to bring
themselves closer to God. In the same way, those who have discovered
HU, an ancient name for God, sing it for their spiritual upliftment.

Regardless of your beliefs or religion, you can sing HU to become
happier and more secure in God's love.

HU is woven into the language of life. It is the Sound of all
sounds. It is the wind in the leaves, falling rain, thunder of jets,
singing of birds, the awful rumble of a tornado.

Its sound is heard in laughter, weeping, the din of city
traffic, ocean waves, and the quiet rippling of a mountain stream. And
yet, the word HU is not God, ITSELF. It is a word people anywhere can
use to address the Originator of Life.

--Harold Klemp

A Divine Connection

ECKANKAR teaches that a spiritual essence, the Light and Sound,
connects everyone with the Heart of God. This Light and Sound is the
ECK, or the Holy Spirit. Direct experience with these twin aspects of
God opens the deep spiritual potential within each of us. The Light
and Sound purify, uplift, and direct us on our journey home to God.

Singing HU draws us closer in a state of consciousness to the
Divine Being. This is its purpose. It is for those who desire
spiritual love, freedom, wisdom, and truth.

An Invitation to Sing HU

You are invited to try this simple spiritual exercise. It has
helped people of many different faiths open their hearts more fully to
the uplifting presence of God.

To do the exercise, first get comfortable. Close your eyes, and
take a few deep breaths. Next, gently put your attention on your inner
visual screen, where daydreams and images come to you. With your eyes
closed, sing HU (pronounced like the word hue) as a song of love.

There are many ways to experience the love of God. You may notice
a feeling of peace, warmth, and comfort. You may also recognize the
presence of the Divine through greater spiritual insights into your
daily life.

When you sing HU and sit in quiet contemplation, you might also
perceive the inner Light and Sound. The Light may appear as brightness
or colors on your inner visual screen. The Sound may be musical or the
sounds of nature, such as the wind or the ocean. However you
experience the presence of God, it is bringing you a broader
understanding of the life you lead.

Upliftment throughout Your Day

In The Golden Heart, Harold Klemp explains how HU can help you see
your life from this higher viewpoint.

As you sing the name of God, with love, for twenty minutes a day,
the bindings and bands that constrain Soul will begin to unwind. Not
all at once, but very slowly, at a rate you can understand and accept.
As these bindings are released, Soul rises in spiritual freedom.

As Soul, you are like a balloon that rises above the ground. The
higher you go, the farther you can see. And the farther you can see,
the better you can plan your life.

Pursue Your Spiritual Goals

ECKANKAR, Religion of the Light and Sound of God, offers tools to
come into a closer relationship with God. Membership in ECKANKAR is
available for those who wish to pursue their spiritual goals with the
guidance of the Living ECK Master.

The current Living ECK Master is Harold Klemp. His mission is to
help interested people find their own way back to God. As the outer
teacher, he writes discourses and gives talks throughout the world. As
the Mahanta, the inner teacher, he gives personal inner guidance to
those who request it.
