Send us a textWhat’s in a name?My father who was a stoic Vedic scholar choose the name “Vijaya Maya” which means victory over and beyond Maya.In Sanskrit “Maya” has a vast cosmic meaning (often misunderstood) as illusion). At the time of my initiation as a Vedic Monk we are necessarily given another name stripped as it were of our past ancestral vasanas. My Guru renamed me “MayaAtitaAnanda”, a spiritual name translated as “Beyond Maya, in service to the full Conscious”. Both fathers had arrived at the same conclusion. As although I had since renounced my path as a Vedic monk, what remains is a path aligned in consciousness, true to my destiny. Before we unfold this mysterious principle of creation, it is important to note that your name in any language is ultimately a variation of Maya’s cosmic principle. your name holds both ancestral and cosmic power. Whether you like it or not the name given at birth is meant to be your personal mantra throughout life. whether chosen sentimentally, or by astrological science or by chance your name holds and protects the meaning.of your karmic journey. Your name that is repeated hundreds of thousands of times in your lifetime- each call resounding memory, a call to remember. Let’s reveal the core essence of Maya.She is the cosmic force that contains both the power to conceal your true nature( tirodhana), and the power that reveals it, (anugraha.) In her aspect of tirodhana, she performs as the cosmic wielder, manifestor of the material world - the space in which we perceive the One as many , the false reality of separation. In her aspect of anugraha, the blessing we experience is her Power that lifts the veil to reveal your pure identity - Oneness, the multitudes folding into One. Each experience in life teaches us to own consciousness- we lift the veil bit by bit to catch glimpses of long forgotten reality. We move through innumerable experiences over billions of lifetimes - each rebirth healing into a greater degree of awareness. This is the journey from commodities to consciousness. Most of humanity exists in the state of tirodhana where we feel tethered, shackled to the material force the common collective perspective of wants, needs, greed, and competition that stimulate and bind us to commodity-awareness which only reinforces separation from source. In every life, there comes a turning point. That ineffable moment when fear and veil are removed, when we meld into the realisation of love, oneness with all things. Paradoxically, the same power that creates the illusion of separation is the very power that lifts the veil, the power of anugraha, grace. Once the grace is felt we can never return to the. veil. Our spiritual journey begins. Every breath reminds us to turn toward this light, the power to relentlessly seek - not material things - but the grace of revelation, the lifting of the veil of our own forgotten Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey~www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com [email protected] Get Maya’s New Book: I Am Shakti: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shakti Amazon.com Bookshop.org
