Goddess Maya is considered to be the mother of
Buddha. According to the Hindu scriptures Goddess Maya is known as the Mahamaya
which means great Maya, or Mayadevi. In literature the meanings of Maya is
illusion of interaction of essence and Energy that gives an emotion stay
something is "there". Actually the Mahamaya stands for grandest dishonesty.
Together with Shakti and Prakriti, goddess Maya makes the dominant combination
of the three "incarnate" as great goddesses. In Hindu tradition the goddess Maya
is to be considered as the maiden-aspect of Kali. Hence she is the also known as
Mahakali and symbolizes the giver of awareness. It is fact that anything's in
which added to the reality is illusion or Maya, and this covering power of
illusion is able to make the contradiction in between 'me' and 'mine', or 'thee'
and 'thine'. Goddess Maya always creates the unawareness of individual self.
Hence goddess Maya Shakti is the celestial power which brings out the evolution
of this present world. This makes possible by a relationship of the three gunas:
sattva, rajas and tamas. Extraterrestrial awareness becomes entity realization
by its own Maya.
