I am very excited to be here. I am Durga   Mamidipalli,  founder of Be Free   Now.  I am an international best selling author, trauma and grief relief specialist and a spiritual and relationship coach, certified yoga and meditation instructor serving all over the world for the last 20  years with a holistic approach by blending Western and Eastern philosophies,   lifestyles, and cultures.

If your intention is right, then the right action follows. In any action, there can never be 100% perfection. But your   intention can always be perfect as quoted by SriSri Ravishankar

My intention to start this podcast is, to be helpful to as many people as possible during this crucial time of COVID-19   pandemic. I humbly think this is my calling and my dharma and purpose on this earth to spread love, joy,  compassion!

The world today needs more of what I call F-A-C-T fact, which is    FAITH, ACCEPTANCE, COURAGE,  & Thankfulness. Only with this ‘F-A-C-T’  can we all realize that we are LOVE and that we are all made of this material called LOVE.

Let me explain a little bit more about the importance of FACT.

When we have faith in ourselves and in the universe then there will be more accepting of others. That gives more courage to tap into our   inner abilities and develops a Thankful attitude towards our family, friends,   community and the whole world

But how do we achieve in this so much uncertainty and chaos?

Mahatma Gandhi has beautifully said," Be the change You want   to see in the World."

Yes, change starts with us! By improving our physical, emotional,   mental, spiritual, and financial well being!

If we can strengthen our inner self,  it will shine out into our relationship with others and uplift everyone around you.

Then we can fulfill  our biggest dharma and purpose on this   earth which  is to spread love, joy, compassion, and enthusiasm

My goal is to inform,   inspire, and empower everyone to reach the best life by achieving business and personal success for a safe and healthy community.
