Will, maybe you could give a little more info on this. As I don't know exactly what the meaning of Maya Veram is; I know it has something to do with illusions though.

Okay, I am willing to share with you. In my search I found a beautiful explanation of Maya, how it is viewed from the Hindu point of view and I find this to be a good starting point in seeing how it is summarized which makes it easier for me to perceive.

Maya isn't easily understood as the branches of it go in various directions and there are many blogs of thought concerning it. I found thoughts that speak of the higher and lower aspects of our nature, thoughts of how Wisdom is seated in the higher planes of our *Being n ess.* With Thoughts of our true essence, and of course descriptive narratives concerning various illusive measures (our many states of being) as well as to how we perceive darkness with perhaps suggestions of how to be a light in the darkness; how Maya extends itself, and in all of this with it’s arrival this indicates to me that Maya takes many forms which prevent us from knowing how to overcome all that shadows us from the Truth. The Hindu people have so much to offer concerning this subject as I see this; although I feel there is maze in ~ it's not impossible to sort through so we create thankfulness within. I am not quite sure of the ideal of Mothering in this, It would take me some time to sort through all of the info I located to give a better answer to myself. The site below explained better than others so I could begin to understood the concept of Maya, focusing on aspects which speak of illusion, answering questions on how the world is viewed; how conscious states of being arrive, how our sensory perceptions either free or trap us, what clouds over us even… shaping us (through our thoughts; what we adhere to, etc; even the state of dreaming, astral travel, virtual realities; sharing reasons why the world is unreal plus a glimpse into the illusion of the beings ~ the interplay of the ego against the soul, how the soul is freed from nature… etc. Going further by illustrating Buddha’s experiences. How transformations happen as we become aware of the play of maya… caused by the movements and appearances of forms and things.

I am very happy to have found a site which showered my mind, heart and soul with insights into Maya, how it functions, moves upon people, nations, and individuals overall ~ recognizing the subject is vast. Perhaps more will come and answer this question of yours as well. Hope this opens a door into a better landing... for us ~ The author of this site offers created for me an easement; a wonderful bridge into understanding a little more! I may be wrong here yet Faith tells me, that with a better knowledge we might learn from our Hindu friends... is in this' it raises questions such as>> have been loving ourselves wrongly? Seek and you will find has been a wonderful directive for me, as it fills in some of the gaps that I have experienced as well. Wisdom can be realized as we come out of false perceptions; as Wisdom has been planted in many fields ~ it's up to us to look as there are many treasures to be found as we willingly journey forth. I appreciate this question Will, thank-you for asking! Surely this raises a whole host of questions!
