Swami Mukundananda in this lecture graciously explains what is maya or the veil of material world that we are all in. The sanskrit word Maya literally means "that, which is not". It is a material energy of God which has made soul forget Him. Maya has created an illusion that we are separate from God, while we are tiny part of God. This ignorance is making us think that we are subjected to birth/ death cycle of soul, while the fact is - soul never dies.
How to overcome this illusory energy - Maya? Watch this eye opener clip to understand trap of Maya and how to get rid of it.

I am a student of Christian Science. Similar attitude toward the dream of the material world. All is Mind (Spirit) and we must turn to God as the only power and source. Understanding the nature of God and our relationship to Him dissolves sin, disease, and death. An enlightening talk from this Swami. I much enjoyed it.
Maya is in a ruling position in today's Kaliyuga world ... but thanks to guru's like you who are here to enlighten us
Swamiji, very beautiful video clip. Maya is illusion. We are Eternal, Immortal but due to ignorance individual thinks otherwise. In waking state we interact with the world of names and forms. In dream state mind projects its own dream world. In deep sleep state Atma unites with Parmatma. As we wake up again in world of names and forms until mind and intellect is purified.

In this mind-blowing lecture, Swamiji says that maya is present where the mind wanders because the mind is made of maya, which itself is the energy of God. We cannot conquer maya with our own effort, thus, need intensive coaching from a Brahmanishta and Shrotriya Guru to learn to differentiate between material and spiritual happiness.

The trap of MAYA creates an illusion yhay we are away from God but in fact we all are tiny parts of God. The Guru through His theoretical and practical knowledge inculcates this belief in us that our true relation is only with God and we should surrender to Him to get rid of the sufferings in the world and attain God
Very good lecture. Understanding the trap of maya is the first step of spirituality. It helps to get the proper knowledge of the world and get detachment from it.

We have an eternal relationship with God, but under the illusion of maya we have forgotten this, out of ignorance we think of ourselves separate from God. Deluded by our myopic intellect no matter how much we try we cannot remove our shortcomings, we need to surrender our intellect to a God realized saint.

Through the grace and compassion of the Guru alone can the trap of attachments be overcome.

swarup.k. dasgupta u r really graced by god.And u r in the right path towards god.Still then there are so many things left .There are 20 classes of Happiness in this universe.Starting from Manav lok (martya lok) to Bramha lok (Great Father Bramha's lok) all are under influence of Maya.Then starts the divine areas.This is up to Goolok .In Goolok there also classes of Happiness .According to the Stage of guru or Mahapurush the disciples achieve the stages of Anand.So choosing the best or top Guru also a great achievement.All this happens with grace of god and our anxiety to spiritual growth.

Understanding the trap of maya is the first step of spirituality. It helps to get the proper knowledge of the world and get detachment from it. By understanding & repeatedly contemplating on the true knowledge of the scriptures received from a God realised saint can we take our first steps to get out of the mirage of Maya.
Swamiji beautifully says that we have turned our back or our consciousness away from God. When the soul forgets God, it begins to believe that it is the body. Hence the material energy or maya troubles the soul. Thank you, Swamiji!
Thank you Swamiji for your selfless coaching & guidance and increasing my knowledge & understanding. Radhey Radhey
Surrendering to Hari-Guru is the only way out of the trap of Maya!! Thank you Swamiji!!
Before I came to know about Swamiji, Loving devotional service to Shree Krishna helped me a lot in purifying and controlling my mind. He only used to guide and inspire from within. But a Guru like Swamiji is rare to find and only by His grace . He has really really elevated me in so many more ways. Thank you so much Swamiji for enlightening my path🙏🙏
Here in this lecture,Swamiji explains how maya,the material energy of God,has created an illusion in our minds yhat we are separate from God though we are a tiny part of His energy.We can not overcome this illusion by our own efforts.It requires God's grace which vomes in form of Guru.Gutu imparts the spiritual knowledge to us and tells us our real relationship with God; tells the ways of getting His grace and divinr love.Guru is spiritually motivated so he is selfless and thus the most trustworthy person . Guru is God's representative so he is equal to God! Radhey Radhey!

Whatever we have understood on the spiritual path we can put into practice in our daily life until we find a Guru. What we hear from the saints, what we read from the scriptures we can look for ways to apply this knowledge. Then when we find our Guru things will go faster.

Dale Rafferty u r right .Finding a true Guru is most important step in spiritual path.But sadguru are very special ,they came in a life by the ultimate grace of god.With out grace of god one could not able to accept a guru.Human intellect can't determine or recognize a true guru .After getting a guru everything started naturally, First of all we can distinguish between the true and false from the material world.The divine words of the Sadguru entered into the surrendered person and helps to know the trap of Maya .The anxiety to divine pleasure improves in us by the grace of guru.After then there are so many steps that achieved by the help of guru. With out guru spiritual journey is impossible. All the people in this planet are very lucky who have accepted and guided by a guru.And the followers of Guru Kripalu are vere very graceful person specially different from others.
How mind boggling is the fact that the Soul, Supreme Soul and Maya reside together at the same place. Yet, God’s inferior energy Maya has separated the Soul from Supreme Soul since eternity!

Heard somewhere: If you don't want to pray still force yourself and pray, because there must be something that's forcing you not to pray.
I’ve always suspecting that as if we’re born into a prison, or cage, or some say ‘matrix’. Where everything is interlinked, with desire overtaking your brain to make you cannot get out of there easily. Now I’ve learnt that yogi are speaking the same thing, it’s called ‘Maya’. Thanks guru.
Like the gopal, we are also at the mercy of the whims of our mind, which brings in unnecessary thoughts and desires. A way to get out of this trap is to follow the teachings of a Guru to control the mind.

I believe that one needs no physical Guru once he is connected to GOD or SELF within. External GURUs can only tell you that you are GOD but you alone have to walk the path. They can walk with you or reduce the hurdles or make you capable of facing the hurdles but you alone have to walk your path and it can verily be done even without an external GURU if one has surrendered to the lord within
Love this! 💖

Excellent and enlightening speech...While it is necessary to remove Maya to attain moksha, however it must be first be understood that the grip of Maya is extremely powerful in the material world we live in..that is because in my view Maya is nothing but the society we live in and the pressure it exerts on us...nowadays the world has become extremely materialistic and such pressure is exerted where one has to be materially successful ie generally in terms of wealth, power and fame...if one is not so, he/she is considered as a failure/misfit..therefore this pressure exists along with the pressure to survive/conform to social expectations..hence it is an extremely challenging proposition to go against the prevalent tide of materialism and move in a spiritual direction towards salvation...

Our intellect is material and cannot understand God. We need help of a guru to overcome maya.
Perfect is zero center of all centers. For only nothing is perfect. Seek the treasure in our merkaba chest center. I seek gnostic akasha intuition of God connection. You fage perfect love that explains it. I feel so free and at peace. Knowing ABBA loves everyone. Be free
Maya is the servant of lord to take exam of humans to create a situation in which humans are trapped to follow adharma or wrong path but one who follows dharma in that situation also passes in the exam of lord. One who chooses god (dharma) and leaves maya attains paramanand.

We live in a world within a dream. I think that my consciousness projected itself "here", because I wanted to experience this or I was too attached to this 3d Maya world. Some souls feel so attached to this world and want to experience this again. They get caught up in the Maya of this realm. Then other experience the void of nothingness and others ascend into other realms or Maya worlds. I would say that the path is different for everybody. If you have time visit Lynn Love channel. She has a lot of beautiful videos. 😘

We are living in MAYA universe. I read and research about ancient Veda's bhagwat Geeta and Vishnu Puran and garud Puran it's like we are living in fake universe and our soul is connected with our body. Our vedas say if you open your 7 chakra and third eye your soul can be time travel in past and future and your body will be in present. If open your third eyes you can read minds. And you can connect with god's and Devi devta.
we r god
