“Sri Swamini Mayatitananda (affectionately called Mother) is a considered the embodiment of the Divine Mother. She is a world class Spiritual Mother whose wisdom and compassion have helped thousands of women to heal from life threatening diseases.”

As an extra-ordinary Spiritual Mother and teacher to thousands of people, Mother Maya is one of the few female Vedic Monks (Swamini) to have received international acclaim for her compassionate spiritual work and guidance. As a cancer survivor and the pioneer of Inner Medicine Healing education, she has gone through the rigorous training to become a Swamini in the Vedic ancestry of her birth. She is living proof that intensive inner work, meditation, and faith in the Mother Consciousness- in other words, our own rhythmic power to heal ourselves- have profound curative results.  Her miraculous triumph over ovarian cancer at an early age led her to the extra-ordinary work she has been doing for more than a quarter of a century to help people heal from devastating disease, illness and disharmony.  In her writings, she relates these experiences, as well as the compelling stories of entire communities that have incorporated these simple yet profound Inner Medicine Healing practices into their lives.

Over twenty-five years of non-stop teaching, she has helped women of all cultures, ages, and backgrounds transform disease and despair into health and harmony.  Her reputation as a nurturer, educator, and healer draws people from around the world to her Featured Talks and Satsangas. She has also been instrumental in teaching the principles of Inner Medicine Healing through the Wise Earth School of Ayurveda, training hundreds of women and men as instructors, who then bring back this wisdom to their own communities.

Sri Swamini Mayatitananda is the founder and spiritual head of Wise Earth School of Ayurveda in North Carolina, the first school of its kind to teach Ayurveda in the U.S. She also founded Mother Om Mission (MOM), a charitable organization in U.S. and Guyana, SA that disseminates Wise Earth’s unique education for at-risk communities. With MOM, she works directly in the trenches with the community by mobilizing a volunteer leadership force directly from these risk communities. By educating and empowering their members rather than bringing in privileged instructors from sophisticated communities to do the work, Mother takes a radical, grassroots approach that works.

Mayatitananda  is a Vedic scholar and an expert in Ayurveda and is the author of the following books, under the name Maya Tiwari: Ayurveda: A Life of Balance; Ayurveda Secrets of Healing; The Path of Practice: A Woman’s Book of Healing with Food, Breath, and Sound.  Mother OM Media –a division of Wise Earth School of Ayurveda, has just released her newest title, Women’s Power to Heal through Inner Medicine.

As a Spiritual Mother, she has created a unique niche in the world forum as a pre-eminent featured speaker—lauded by the Secretary General of the UN Millennium Peace Summit as a “compassionate Mother whose ancient wisdom can be applied to heal the present world crises.” She has taught hundreds of Wise Earth Ayurveda®® Training Courses at Wise Earth School and hundreds more workshops and Satsangas at retreat centers around the world on topics like Ayurveda: Food, Breath & Sound; Pancha Karma; Meditation, Yoga, Women’s Health, Vedic Chanting, and Vedanta.
