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.

Words are holy magic and books appear when our souls and our world are ready. I Am Shakti has been summoned into being by the Goddess. In her service and ours, Maya Tiwari has unrobed her heart, offering her inspiring story, her wisdom, and the way home to the primordial, divine feminine power from which all things arise. With this compelling, brilliant and deeply healing manifesto, Maya Tiwari reveals the light ready to be born from within us all.

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. Maya Tiwari’s words unfold like a sacred dance of wisdom, drawing us into the rhythmic heartbeat of Shakti. 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 primordial feminine energy, and in so doing the sacred balance within ourselves and in the world. Every page of I Am Shakti vibrates with life, offering the reader both a challenge and a promise—the challenge to embrace the fullness of our feminine power and the promise of healing and wholeness that follows.
This is a book for seekers, healers, warriors, and nurturers alike—a profound manifesto that will guide generations to come. In Maya’s words, we find not only the truth of Shakti’s power but also the courage to rise and embody it.

Maya Tiwari’s gift to us is that her life of study, reflection, healing and becoming is a perpetual unfolding act.

Violence, actual and virtual alike, so thoroughly pervades human society that many people find it difficult even to envision a non-belligerent world. This book is a welcome addition to the growing body of literature that maps out routes to healthier, less savage modes of living that promote kinship with all life. Offering a powerful rebuttal to the voices that condone "business as usual," Living Ahimsa Diet provides effective, practical advice to anyone who seeks a rich, peaceful, truly satisfying existence.
