“She Is Lord Vishnu’s Mystic Sleep, Maa Maha Kaali, Whose Energy Is tamas, Whom lord brahma, seated on the lotus, praised that She Might Destroy madhu and kaitabha.”
– Vaikritika Rahasya (2), An Anga Of The Devi Mahatmya
Maa Maha Kaali As Maa MahaMaya Symbolizes The Divine Mother’s Deluding Power, which causes The Infinite Divine Consciousness To Appear As the seemingly real universe.

As “AvidyaMaya”, Maa MahaMaya Symbolizes The Veiling Power Of ignorance that binds one to the limiting sense of individuality, ego, and worldly existence. “AvidyaMaya” Produces entangling passions such as anger and greed, which keep one veiled in ignorance. Maa MahaMaya Hurls even the so-called wise into the dark whirlpool of attachment. Having Seized their minds, Maa MahaMaya Binds them to this transitory existence (saṁsāra) and all its woes.
As Her Second Aspect, Maa MahaMaya Is The Supreme Knowledge And The Eternal Cause Of spiritual liberation. Thus, As “VidyaMaya”, Maa MahaMaya Symbolizes The Power that leads to knowledge, which liberates devotees by breaking every bond of worldly attachment. “VidyaMaya” Produces qualities such as kindness, purity, and selflessness that can lead to spiritual liberation. Maa Maha Kaali As Maa MahaMaya Is The All Encompassing Power Of liberating knowledge and veiling ignorance, She Is Radiant Splendor And Terrifying Darkness, And Is The Ineffable Bliss Beyond all duality.
