Living Ahimsa Diet: Nourishing Love and Life

Living Ahimsa Diet: Nourishing Love & Life is the extraordinary sequel to Maya Tiwari's international bestseller Ayurveda: A Life of Balance, which has been flying off bookshelves for more than a decade. Grounded in ancient Vedic principles, it is the first "food" book that sheds light on how we can cultivate a truly harmonious life through the practice of Living Ahimsa by eating, living and loving in harmony with Mother Nature and her seasonal rhythms.

Pulling from her remarkable life, Maya Tiwari-known fondly the world over as "Mother of Ahimsa"-teaches us to heal ourselves and recognize our intrinsic rhythms so we can cultivate optimum health without devoting a huge amount of time worrying about food or illness. By working with our unique metabolic constitutions, we can develop the skills to convert personal karma into awareness, challenges into success and lessons into knowledge.

Laden with wholesome seasonal practices, vegetarian and gluten-free recipes, and guidelines for the whole family to live in harmony and love, this book teaches us to embrace the feast and the fast. Within these pages you will recover your joy in preparing, sharing, and imbibing your meals with whole-hearted ease, learn to eat and live in blissful harmony with daily, seasonal, solar and lunar cycles; and reconnect to your true nature of love:

* There is a time to fast and a time to feast

* A time for love and a time for sobriety

* A time for celebration and a time for cleansing

* A time for nurturance and a time for austerity

* A time to rest, meditate, play, and work
