Index
Forced by cancer to reexamine and redirect her life, Maya Tiwari left a successful New York design career and returned to her native India to study Ayurvedic medicine. Now back in the U.S., she currently lectures and offers workshops on Ayurveda.
"In her book, Maya introduces the Ayurvedic diet with a universal
flavor and shows how to awaken Ahamkara (the memory of who we
really are) through the proper use of wholesome foods. By
understanding our individual body types, and using foods that best
support and enhance each one, we are employing a powerful and
essential method of attunement. I am truly grateful to Maya and a
handful of other Vedic scholars who continue to devote their lives
to sharing this knowledge with the rest of the world. A world that
is in great need and which, hopeful, may finally be ready to
receive it."
*Lindsay Wagner Actress and author*
"Ayurveda: A Life of Balance is a very complete and authoritative
manual on the Vedic principles of health and nutrition, written by
a well-respected expert in the field. It will be of great benefit
to the layman and professional alike."
*Deepak Chopra, M.D. Author of Quantum Healing and Perfect
Health*
"Bri. Maya is indeed the shining Yogi. Her book will benefit
everyone who is conscious of personal health and global
environment.
*Barbara Y.E. Pyle Vice President Turner Broadcasting System*
"Maya Tiwari has been carving her own life-niche for many years.
Forced by cancer to re-evaluate and refine her life that it might
help to heal her, she returned to her own roots in Ayurveda, and
from those roots has sprouted this book, a book which is both part
of her therapy and a way to share her experience with others who
need to heal. Inspired by Ayruveda, this book testifies to how Maya
has successfully integrated its principles into her own life, and
how others can do the same, to make their lives happy, healthy, and
harmonious."
*Dr. Robert E. Suoboda Ayurvedic physician and author of
Prakruti*
"Here is a very special person who has journeyed through cancer,
healed herself and now teaches others how to cross over the dark
passages to light and life. This deeply personal and spiritual
offering is a necessity to everyone who seeks to know the ancient
secrets of healing from the Ayurvedas."
*Dr. Wally Burnstein Physician and anti-food irradiation
activist*
"Maya Tiwari's gift to us is that her life of study, reflection,
healing and becoming is a perpetual unfolding act. She has through
personal experience and example acquired rich insight into an
elusive ancient subject. Her book is faithful to the original
precepts of Ayurveda which reveals the immortal principles of
health and, ultimately, Self-realization."
*Scott Gerson, M.D. Director, Ayurvedic Medicine of New York
President, Foundation for Holistic Medic*
