ABOUT THE AUTHOR Maya Tiwari

Over twenty years ago, Maya Tiwari healed herself of cancer through her fortitude and spiritual strength. As a result, she re-directed her life, beginning her holistic studies in Oriental medicine. She later returned to her roots in the Vedas and was carefully tutored by Swami Dayananda, one of India's few living masters of the traditional teaching of Vedanta and Sanskrit. She has been trained to preserve the precious oral teachings of the most ancient spiritual heritage, the Vedas - and has since devoted her life to the study and teaching of Ayurveda and Vedanta.In 1992, Maya Tiwari was initiated by her teacher as a brahmacarini, one whose life is committed to the study of the Vedas. Being a traditional Vedic monk, Bri. Maya lives a simple life in Asheville, North Carolina, and teaches with love and selflessness the ancient wisdom of sadhanas, the art of consciously participating in the wholesome activities of nature. Over the years she has assisted hundreds of cancer patients, and more recently AIDS patients, through their "dark night of the soul" into good health.Bri. Maya co-authored Diet for Natural Beauty with Aveline Kushi and has written the current best-selling Ayurveda: A Life of Balance, the definitive work on Ayurvedic nutrition.
