The Maya word refers to a personal name (now common in Anglo-Saxon countries), a pre-Columbian civilization, a Sanskrit term of particular importance in Hindu philosophy. It can also refer to a Central American population, a group indigenous Australian, a Japanese word with multiple meanings, the name of the mother of Buddha. It may be a variant of the name and the name Maria Maia, referring then to the underlying meanings of "spring" and "Mother", and those derived from Greek mythology and Latin. search for the meaning leads to multiple sources in multiple locations. The widespread use of the term might seem random and without correlation. But appearances, as we know, often deceiving. Well worth the trouble to look better. All the more so if Sanskrit consider the meaning of the lemma in question ...
Maya in Sanskrit means (semplificando. ..) "illusion", "appearance". Citing Wiki " This is a" veil "metaphysical illusion that by separating individual beings by the knowledge / perception of reality, prevents them from having" moksha, spiritual liberation, so keeping them trapped in samsara, the continuous cycle of birth and death. "
This concept has also been recorded in Western culture, particularly from Schopenhauer.
Maya, in Hinduism, one of the names of Durga, one of the forms of Devi, the divine mother. Here are internally the same tradition, a link between "illusion" and "mother."
is also worth, as we met the deadline, make a small deviation from the post: Deva, male Devi is the Sanskrit word for "god", "deity." Curiosa the similarity of the word with the English ...? In Zoroastrianism the
"Deavere" are fiends.
Um, which side to take the good and evil ...? Nietzsche was right You're not going crazy trying to go "beyond" both ...?
back to Maya, from what I found online that is composed of the Sanskrit word "but" - not , and "ya" - (is) this : just illusion. If the premise is correct, it is interesting to note the name of "devas" of death Yama - this is not (it is). interrupting the illusion of what is not, it, the illusion dies. And we with you, at least on this plane and less than that in the meantime found "what is". Does anyone know Sanskrit and can tell me if any "should" contains within itself this meaning ...?
Maya is also the name of the mother of Gautama Buddha. In Japan Mount Maya is dedicated to her.
If we take into consideration the theories that see the names Mary and Maia a variant of the word in question is immediately evident also another famous mother.
dug between the etymologies of these two terms are only hypotheses, but between them is interesting to note that the origin of Greek Maia, one of the Pleiades - is identified in the term "mother". In addition, both the Greek and Latin Maia were considered a symbol of spring. Maya
In Hebrew means "spring" - one of the meanings that the lemma also takes in Japan - in addition to that, borrowed from the Aramaic word for "water" and "stream".
We therefore linked to the word Maya, a strong sense of creation, the mother, the spring is connected, in Hinduism, the idea that this - the creation, what we commonly call "reality" - is only an illusion.
fail to respond with the link name the most in vogue among the pre-Columbian cultures. This, at least for me, remains a mystery. It seems that too much has been destroyed in their tradition to trace the origins of the name that identifies them.
but I do not have data, in spite of this, the strong feeling that the fact that they have the name in common with the findings from this short trip is not a coincidence.
If this were true, it is the messengers of the Great Spring or Grand Illusion? ... or both?
