There is an old story from India about the God, Brahma, who was alone. Nothing existed but Brahma, and he was completely bored. Brahma decided to play a game, but there was no one to play the game with. So he created a beautiful goddess, Maya, just for the purpose of having fun. Once Maya existed and Brahma told her the purpose of her existence, she said, “Okay, let’s play the mot wonderful game, but you do what I tell you to do.” Brahma agreed and following Maya’s instructions, he created the whole universe, the sun and the stars, the moon and the planets. He created life on earth: the animals, the oceans, the atmosphere, everything. Maya said, “How beautiful is this world of illusion you created. Now I want you to create an animal that is so intelligent and aware that it can appreciate your own creation.” Finally Brahma created humans, and after he finished the creation, he asked Maya when the game was going to start. “We will start right now,” she said. She took Brahma and cut him into thousands of teeny, tiny pieces. She put a piece inside every human and said, “Now the game begins! I am going to make you forget what you are, and you are going to try and find yourself!” Maya created the Dream and still, even today, Brahma is trying to remember who he is. When you awake from the Dream, you become Brahma again and reclaim your divinity.

@@lazymonsta2007 Bramhaji is the creator of the whole universe and created Saraswati first as his soul mate. Truth is as real as Sun though human beings may not accept and when they deny truth that is Maya-illusion. Maha Vishnu and Maha Lakshmi are God and Goddess and they have avatars or understand it as rebirth on earth for some purpose.

The teachers of the Upanishads taught by example and analogy. One asks his student to bring him a fig. “Open it,” says the teacher. “What do you see there?” “Some very small seeds, sir.” “Open one of those small seeds. What do you see there?” “Nothing at all, sir.” “Truly from what you cannot see, the whole fig tree grows. That is Reality. That is Atman. That art Thou.”

Just replace the Hindu references (like Brahma into the father, and Brahman into God) with abrahamic ones and it's the samething. They don't care what names we give them, just that we have an understanding of what's going on. They don't have identities like we do... Or at least God doesn't. The amount of different names not only have beings on Earth have given them, but beings who live elsewhere have as well.. it doesn't much matter. I had an interesting experience in the store with my grandmother the other day. I've been practicing a lot of Hindu god worship lately and my grandmother is Christian... I saw a pair of shoes that were called "Brahma", and then later on I saw a book that said "God is with you.".. it literally doesn't matter what you call them, they don't care.

@@whb1153 Yeah. There's a lot of interesting stuff there. If you dive into the chakra system and Hinduism, you're going to notice a lot of similarities between some practices the abrahamic faiths and Hindus do. An interesting fact is the Hindus mention that there are 108 chakras you can manipulate in the body, then there are 4 more total in the body, plus another 2 outside for a total of 114. There are prayer beads called "malas" that are at least 3000 years old that Hindus and Buddhists use to keep count when uttering mantras 108 times (and they have some other lesser uses). Now if you've ever counted the beads on a Catholic rosary there are 54 beads on the neck, and 6 (counting the mother Mary bead) going down to the cross... 54x2 is 108+6 is 114. The rosary is only about 400 years old. The Catholics knowingly or unknowingly using a process that's at least 3,000 years old to energetically connect to mother Mary, Jesus and other saints. That's just one interesting thing about all this. I wish you luck, if you can pick apart the processes every faith uses and compare each one, you're going to find a lot of similarities. The Kabbalahistic Jews used to have many more tantric processes (like the Hindus do today) to contact angels and such interestingly, but the languages and processes were lost sadly. Enoch tried to bring some things back, however it seems he got a bit distracted and then written out of the bible lol.

Hi team, You have prepared a nice video on Maya for beginners, Thanks for working on such videos. As many will inherit this knowledge from your videos, kindly get them reviewed by 1 or more before releasing them. Be it Images or words. Here are 2 which I could identify. At 0:23 - You showed the Image of Lord Brahma in place of 'BrahmaN'. Brahman has NO FORM. Instead, You could have shown a Glow of light...! At 2:58 - You Showed & pronounced Brahmasi in place of "BrahmasMi". Kindly correct them if possible...!

Ignorance(Maya), I often forget about my mother, the Universal mother, mother of all mothers; she is in the from of my ego, she is in the form of my mother, my father, my mentor, my brother, my wife, my Kid, my thoughts and everything perceivable through my five senses; how can i ever be, untill I am Confined to the body made of five elements, just the way the Cosmos in made. She keeps teaching me again & again, she is an excellent teacher (Guru), she never lets me down, she never lets me, unitill I learn.....unlearn, she holds my hands, takes me to the destination, the One which l am unaware off, what all I can know is my mother and only to that extent as much as she reveals herself to me .....how to address You Oh! mother, I have no words.....🙏

@tookie36

Different language is used but it seems as if the nature of god is the answer. God is love, infinite, and this also means god is creative. One aspect of this creative force is the illusion/leela. And illusion doesn’t mean not real. Creation is real. It’s one of god’s forms which we are currently experiencing under maya with the sense of seperateness

"Maya" literally means "to measure", "to evaluate". Who am I? What is the universe? What is the source of all the phenomena, of all that appears? The evaluation depends on knowledge, which is always incomplete. Therefore, the evaluation, the measurement, is "what is not". If one takes the idea, the concept, as the truth, one is living under illusion. That is why the word "maya" is related with illusion. Without this illusion, there in absolutely no separation, no division. The form and the non-form, the manifest and the unmanifested are the same life-consciousness.

What is the meaning then?

Maya is absolutely real. Maya is the cause of illusion but it does not mean Maya = Illusion. Maya is the creative shakthi of Shiva. Without maya or shakthi, shiva is shava (corpse). In other words, Shiva and Maya (intelligent energy) always exist together for the perpetual duality cycles to happen. Ma means to create or produce in Sanskrit.

Example: You are in the night dark room yet your vision of your u have a Maya experience casts a shadowy being that isn’t there in your room and say it appears as a shadow of a skinny woman, and turn on the lights but nobody is there and few seconds or minutes later your sisters friend a stranger unexpected visit opens the door who happens to be a skinny woman. You know it’s a lie when you told yourself that the person was in your room but there wasn’t but happened until after that you saw that it came true. Illusion is a word with much definitions and meaning it isn’t simple to some people. an illustration is also an illusion because the cartoon for example isn’t real it’s just something to express its character to capture behavior or exaggerate detail that makes them stand out. So the illusion can be from God something that can happen after yet a lie at first glance until revealed that it was something that will happen. In Spanish Illusion is used in term of hope also as a lie also it is a versatile word.

this video is so much misspelt and wrong in terms of actual teachings, Sanskrit slokas are manipulated, the kings are British Kingdom based and it's not brahmasi, or soham, it's aham 'brahmasmi', and 'shivoham' 🤷🤷
