I Am Shakti

New Book, Coming Soon!

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.

I have read scores of books that touch on yoga, ayurveda, and even social justice. But I have never read anything so beautiful and profound. I’m in awe. I now understand why your teachings can so easily take up residence in the hearts and minds of women everywhere, including my own.

Maya’s book, I Am Shakti is a story of how her Shakti has shaped her amazing life. And it is much more. It is an invitation for all women to reclaim their innate power to heal themselves and restore balance, health, love and joy for all beings. In this eloquent exposition, Maya demonstrates that we are all Shakti.

“I Am Shakti” is more than a book—it is a celestial hymn to the forgotten pulse of the divine feminine, resonating deep within the cosmic tapestry of life. In this masterpiece, she stitches together the ancient and the modern, the personal and the universal, to guide us on a profound journey towards healing, balance, and collective restoration.

With poetic precision and the tender ferocity of a sage, Maya calls us to reclaim the Shakti energy that resides in every woman and man. She invites us to transcend the binaries that have divided us for millennia and to remember our origin as beings of both Shakti and Shiva—intertwined, inseparable, and infinitely powerful.

Maya’s own story of transformation from suffering to strength is not merely an inspiration; it is a map for those of us seeking to restore the sacred balance within ourselves and in the world….
