<div style='text-align:justify;'>
<div style='text-align:justify;'>
Maya is a prominent and commonly referred concept in Vedanta Darshana. Maya is said to be an illusion. Avyakta, not manifested because it cannot be perceived by sense organ. In the sushuptiawastha (dreamless sleep), one did not know anything. We see many scenes in dreams but in awaken state, we realize that it was only our illusion. One understands that like a dream, the world never existed. This is known as “Vivartavaad”.

Vedanta darshan states that Bramha is the only truth and the entire universe is an illusion or myth. It is of the nature of all three gunas namely sattva, rajas, tamas. Maya is responsible for the evolution of entire universe which is known as “karanasharira” or ‘causal body of the atma’. Karana sharira is said to be 'avyakta’ because its knowledge is not perceived by senses.<ref>Joshi P. Sulabha Padartha Vigyana, Narendra Prakashana, Pune 2018, page no. 66</ref>

In Rigveda and Upanishads, general meaning of maya is ‘power’ while in Shvetashvatara Upanishad, maya is identified with prakriti and the meaning of maya is illusion. And in Bhagavad Gita, maya is referred as ‘magical power’.<ref name="multiple" />
