HU—A Love Song to God

A Love Song to GodYou 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.  It is a word people anywhere can use to address the Originator of Life.

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 our state of consciousness to the Divine Being.  This is its purpose.  It is for those who desire spiritual love, freedom, wisdom, and truth.

Upliftment throughout Your Day

In The Golden Heart, Mahanta Transcripts, Book 4, Harold Klemp explains how HU can help you see your life from this higher viewpoint:

As you chant 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.

Experience the Sound of HU.
