Maria Wirth, born in Germany into a traditional Christian family, embarked on extensive travels in her early 20s. A stopover in Bharat (India) in 1980, while enroute to Australia, became a life-changing event for her. Maria spent 20 years living a simple life in spiritual India, often staying in ashrams. She has written numerous articles on Indian wisdom and tradition in German and English magazines. She has also written several books and contributed chapters to anthologies, including one on the Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita for German psychology students. Active on social media, particularly on Quora, Twitter, and her blog, Maria often compares religions to highlight the negative aspects of Abrahamic dogmas, which she believes are detrimental and dangerous for Hindus.
