Books by Maya Tiwari

I Am Shakti is the bold and powerful manifesto our world needs now more than ever.

Spiritual teacher, humanitarian and Ayurvedic pioneer Maya Tiwari introduces a new perspective of the primordial Shiva-Shakti energy, the universal masculine-feminine largesse that generates harmony, balance and nourishment for life. To do so, Maya invites us to shift our understanding from the dualistic, binary, and otherness concept this primeval energy has been thwarted into, toward the non-dual, nurturing wholeness of Shiva-Shakti that endures within each one of us. Drawing on historical and current events, ancient Vedic wisdom, and her personal story of falling victim to patriarchal violence, Maya shows what happens when the primordial fear of the feminine becomes a weapon of mass destruction.

At its core, I Am Shakti is an impassioned plea for women to embrace our Shakti nature to fight for justice, compassion, fairness, cooperation, love, prosperity and nourishment for all. And Maya is the wise guide who, by sharing her own story, simple Vedic practices, and plenty of encouragement, so lovingly shows us how.
