Harish Johari (1934-1999) was a painter, sculptor, composer, and scholar of Tantra and Ayurveda. He authored 12 books on Eastern spirituality, including Ayurvedic Massage; Chakras; Tools for Tantra; Breath, Mind, and Consciousness; The Birth of the Ganga; and Dhanwantari, and produced several audiocassettes and CDs of mantra meditations.
"Unlike the recipes in many other Indian cookbooks, the simplicity
of Johari's dishes makes it possible to prepare an Indian meal
without spending an entire day at the task."
