Vedantic Thoughts on Maya, Mithya, and the Brahman

The Upanishads, the Brahma Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita constitute the three component sources of Vedanta. Maya, literally means "illusion". It is unstable, ever-changing, impermanent, unreliable and never the same. According to Advaita Vedanta, this world is Maya. Mithya means "false belief". One example of Mithya is perceiving a rope as a snake in the in insufficient light or in dark. There is a famous Sanskrit verse: "Brahma Satyam, Jagat Mithya"; that means: Brahman is the truth. The world is a false belief. These concepts of Maya, Mithya, and the Brahman, as viewed by the Vedanta, are explained in details, in this book consisting of twelve chapters. The book is strongly supported by over 150 verses in Sanskrit (shlokas) along with their Roman script, translation and explanation in English language. This book is dedicated to Maharshi Badaraya?a, the Author of 'Brahma Sutras, a component of Vedanta.
