The literal meaning of the word “Maya” is an illusion. Anything which is added to the reality is an illusion or Maya and this veiling power of an illusion is able to create the difference between “me” and “mine”, of “thee” and “thine”. Maya creates the ignorance of the individual self. “Sakthi” comes from the Tamil word which means “Power”. So “Maya Sakthi” is the divine power which brings out the evolution of this present world.
