Publisher's Synopsis
The Mask of Maya: Mahakala's Illusions and Realities
Time is an illusion. Reality is not what it seems. And Mahakala, the great dissolver, stands at the threshold between illusion and truth. The Mask of Maya is an exploration of the forces that shape existence-creation, destruction, transformation-and how Mahakala strips away illusion to reveal the eternal.
Drawing from Hindu and Buddhist traditions, this book delves into Mahakala's dual role as both destroyer and liberator. He is the force that erases time, yet he is also the guardian of ultimate wisdom. Through mythology, sacred texts, and esoteric teachings, we explore how Maya (illusion) binds us to suffering and how Mahakala, the great unmasker, shatters the veil that conceals reality.
The book takes readers through the cycles of time, the dance of destruction, and the path beyond fear, revealing how Mahakala teaches liberation through impermanence. From temple rituals to tantric meditations, from ancient parables to deep philosophical insights, The Mask of Maya serves as both a guide and a challenge-to see beyond what the mind perceives and embrace the eternal now.
For seekers, philosophers, and those drawn to the mysteries of time and transformation, this book is an invitation to confront the deepest illusion of all and step into the truth beyond time.
