Meera Gandhi
Meera Teresa Gandhi is the daughter of an Irish mother and an Indian father. At the age of 16, she volunteered to teach at Ashadaan, a shelter for abandoned and differently-abled children run by Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity which proved to be the turning point in Meera’s life.
Meera had the opportunity then to work and interact closely with Mother Teresa. This is when she truly understood the great joy in doing things that are beyond and outside of the self. Meera has lived many roles in her life as a philanthropist, a mother, a businesswoman, a television show host, an author, and a spiritual yogi who believes that we are very much a part of the universal spirit and we all must live in the flow of the ether that guides and propels us through our life journey! Meera is the celebrated author of 3 Tips: The Essentials for Peace, Joy and Success; and the host of the successful Instagram series 3 Tips and The Meera Gandhi Show on B4U Network. Her latest media project is the wellness-themed 3 Tips by Meera Gandhi Podcast.
Meera is also a sponsor of the Woodstock Film Festival where she presents the Meera Gandhi Giving Back Award to a director, producer or actor who best delivers a message of social change and who has a strong compassion for philanthropy. Awardees have included Mark Ruffalo and Mira Nair. She is also a recipient of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor (2015), Marc Anthony Maestro Cares Humanitarian Award (2016), Children’s Hope Humanitarian Award (2013) and many more.
