Forced by cancer to reexamine and redirect her life, Maya Tiwari left a highly successful New York design career and returned to her native India to study Ayurvedic medicine.
Her book, a profound but practical testament to the healing power of balance
living, shows how Ayurveda's ancient principles of health can help you achieve
the highest levels of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The
traditional form of medicine in India for more than five thousand years,
Ayurveda relies primarily on the proper use of foods and herbs to maintain or
restore the body's natural state of balance.
While Ayurvedic healing has in recent years become increasingly well known in
the West, Maya Tiwari is the first author to provide us with a comprehensive
working guide to Ayurveda as a way of life.

Medical Research
"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 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, an how others
can do the same, to make their lives happy, healthy, and harmonious." - Dr.
Robert E. Suoboda, Ayurvedic physician and author of Prakruti
"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
"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
"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
