SVS 175 [Mahamayo -172] (18.8)

172. OM MAHAMAYAYA NAMA: महामायाय नम:
Screens Himself by Maya, from those not surrendering unto Him.

We are in Sri Rama temple in Narasimhapuram, popularly known as Chenaparatti [செனபரட்டி]. It is situated on the banks of river Amaravati, in Karur district and near Puliyur, where Sri Vradaraja is gracing. Temple is in a very dilapidated condition. Maha maya means possessing astonishing capacities. Athindriya suggested that He could not be realized by senses; but only by Vedas. Those who do not worship Him, can not see Him, as a screen maya is preventing from realizing. Maya is prakruti. The Lord lifted up Govardana hill for seven days. It is beyond our imagination. In Sri Nrusimha Avatar, He was [and is] in everything. He was born with Four Arms with conch, discus and mace, to Devaki as Sri Krishna. Yet, Devaki was mesmerized to realize the Child as the Lord. He is larger than Universe, yet smaller than atom!
