The inspiration for this song came from a program I was part of for several years at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The words are simple and profound.
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Where there is charity and love, there is God.
In the spirit of the prayer I am is donating 50% of the proceeds to Cathedral Community Cares (CCC).

Ambika
Ambika has been a singer and musician for most of her life, playing in various bands in NYC until she discovered chanting with Krishna Das in 1995. Kirtan had a profound effect on her, and lead her to India where she met her teacher and Spiritual Mother, Shri Siddhi Ma. As Ambika deepened her connection to the practice of chanting, it became her home and refuge.
Ambika is the cofounder of Brooklyn Kirtan Collective, and has been exploring chants from other faith traditions for several years while working with a program at The Cathedral of St. John the Divine. In February 2015, Ambika released the single "Metta Chant", produced and recorded by Devadas Labrecque. Her first full-length album, "Mother's Calling", produced by Lily Cushman, was released in March, 2018 on Mantralogy.
Her latest single, “Ubi Caritas”, is available now on bandcamp, Apple Music, Spotify, and in all the places. This song was inspired by her experience at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Fifty percent of the proceeds for the song will be donated to Cathedral Community Cares (CCC).
