Yogamaya
The divine power that both conceals and reveals
📜Understanding Yogamaya
Yogamaya is the divine power through which God both conceals and reveals Himself. Unlike ordinary maya (illusion that binds), yogamaya is the Lord's own energy used for divine purposes - including making transcendent truth accessible to limited minds.
