Ayurveda expert to set up healing mission here
A Guyanese woman who is said to be an expert in Ayurveda teachings and healing plans to set up a mission in Guyana where she would teach people to live healthily and also cure them of different diseases. Ayurveda is an ancient holistic system of healing which springs from the visions of India's Vedic rishis. The woman, Brahmacarini (Bri) Maya Tiwari who is a Vedic Monk has been residing in the United States for some time now but she was born in Berbice and left Guyana in the 60's to study abroad. Tiwari, speaking to reporters in the Rupununi Room of the Hotel Tower said that at the age of 23 she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and was given three months to live. She said that she healed herself of the cancer by going to an isolated cabin where she ate only what nature offered. According to the woman, weeping was the first step she took in the line of healing herself, she prayed and stayed up late at nights and poured what was on her inside to the outside. Tiwari said that after she healed herself of the cancer she travelled to India where she took the life of a Brahmacarini. The woman, who was dressed like a monk except for the fact her head had hair, is said to be an extraordinary spiritual teacher who comes from one of the most ancient and authentic Vedic schools, Arsha Vidya Gurukula. There, she was carefully tutored by His Holiness Swami Dayananda Saraswati to preserve the precious oral teachings of the Vedas. She has been teaching Wise Earth Ayurveda for 12 years and has helped thousands of people to heal from life threatening diseases such as cancer, heart disease and AIDS. The woman has since founded the Mother Om Mission in the United States, New York, in 1998. She has her hopes on setting up a similar mission in Guyana where she plans to heal not only Guyanese, but persons from around the world. Her mission in the US deals specifically with Caribbean people who live abroad. The mission is a charitable, holistic educational centre with the aim of bringing Wise Earth Ayurveda's workshops, treatment, healing camps and spiritual support to communities at risk and populations throughout the world. Bri Maya Tiwari, is the author of Ayurveda: A Life of Balance, as well as Ayurveda: Secrets of Healing. Her major work, entitled The Vedic Path of Practice, is scheduled to be released by Ballentine Books later this year. The Ayurveda is a medicine which according to Tiwari involves non toxic medicines. She said that Ayurveda can be looked upon as the world's greatest medicine and it is made up of nutrition and going back to natural food. The medicine forms part of how you eat, sleep, exercise and pray to the God of your belief. It is not given by prescriptions and sounds and breathing play a major part in the healing process.
