The illusory energy that modifies the universe is called Maya in Sanskrit.Maya means--- That which is NOT. Like a mirage in a desert, Maya builds the mundane universe with the help of eight elements 5 gross and three subtle. The gross external visible material body is made of earth water fire air and ether-- the 3 subtle elements of the astral body are called mind--- intelligence-- and false ego.The progression of this spectrum goes from the denseist earth -- to the most subtle false ego--in Sanskrit Ahankara.It is with the help of these eight building blocks that Maya creates the whole show of what is called The Phenomenal World.Although the mirage appears to be external -- the source of the energy comes from inside of you within your own energy vortexes -- chakras.Maya means a hard struggle for existence for winning over on the stringent laws of Material Nature.This struggle is an illusion-- everyone of us tries to live in bliss and happiness alwaysbut Maya keeps interferring by putting misery in our lives.There are the small continuous everyday struggles which can be summarized in birth-disease- old age- and finally death.We all say --- well that's part of life--you just have to accept.Well that's true we have no choice on that BUTwhat we can do is realize the illusion.Why are we struggling with something that seems beyond our control?We all want to live a life of happiness eternally but Maya won't let us.This struggle can immediately be stopped by revival of our original consciousness.Before we became distracted by the five gross and three subtle elements.Through the love and devotion of the Goddess- She will surely help us.Thats what this group is all about. Asato ma sad gamaya, Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya, Mrtyor mamrtam gamayaLead me from the unreal to the real,from darkness to the light,from death to immortality.Shanti Shanti Shantipeace Peace Peace
