Tuhina Joshi is the author of the books Meri Pyaari Mataji: A Journey from Darkness to Light and Mataji: Mystic Beyond Boundaries. Professionally a lawyer and technology policy counsel, she graduated with a degree in law from the National Law School of India University, Bangalore in 2016. In 2017, she began a career in public policy with Tata Trusts, advising Members of Parliament on policy-making. Thereafter, she worked with the Ministry of Law & Justice and subsequently a private law firm where she advised multinational technology companies on law and policy. Her last role was with Google as a Government Affairs and Public Policy advisor where she led the policy portfolio for Google Pay, YouTube and other Google products in India.

For nearly a decade, Tuhina battled with severe, debilitating depression and anxiety. After undergoing years of psychiatric treatment and relying heavily on prescribed medication, she met Mataji when she was on the brink of death in December 2023. Through Mataji’s healing, she experienced a transformative recovery.

After regaining her health and the will to live again, she turned to writing to express her wonder and deep reverence for Mataji’s life-changing presence. Her books and writing are a product of this journey. Doubtless, this writing will be flawed, as any attempt at writing about a mystic presence like Mataji’s must be.  The only thing she can ask of her reader is to understand that this is a writer’s attempt to put into words what words can scarcely contain, and to share, in the only way she knows, something of what she has experienced.
