Theos-Talk Archives (December 2002 Message tt00505)

Dear Mauri:

The venerable "Sri Swami VP" quoted by L M is correct as the word
"Maya" used in Indian several languages including the Sanskrit is
"mother."

The Mother of Gautama Sidartha, Buddha, of Kapilavastu was also named
Maya.

But philosophically it is also "ILLUSION." [see T. Glossary, p. 211
top ].

Or does your encyclopedia say it differently?
