The Strength to Meet Life

Courage and strength to meet the challenges of life can be found in the simple act of chanting HU, an ancient mantra and sacred sound. Emanating from the source of all life, this sound-vibration can spiritualize one’s consciousness and gently open the heart to divine love. It helps to awaken us to our true, eternal nature—the soul, a spark of God. 

Chanting HU can offer the strength we need to face life. Connecting with this divine love current can reveal the wisdom, understanding and serenity that lie within each of us. Our unique God-given creative abilities can inspire unexpected solutions to any problem. Explore the possibilities by chanting HU daily (either silently or out loud), or for a few moments whenever you need upliftment, insight or calm. 

HU: A Love Song to God is a fascinating sixty-minute recording enlivened by humorous and profound stories, spiritual exercises for dreams and Soul Travel, and the compassionate wisdom of the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master, Sri Harold Klemp.
