    About the Author(s)

    About the Author:  Maya Tiwari has healed herself of cancer through her fortitude and spiritual strength.  As a result, she redirected 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.  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.
