Hinduism - What Is Mahamaya In The Devimahatmya?

 


 ("[she] has enormous illusionary power") The Devimahatmya, the oldest and most significant literary source for the idea that God is feminine, has an epithet of the Goddess.

This epithet indicates her status as the universe's only and ultimate force, despite the fact that she wields the power of illusion to keep this reality hidden from human perception.

See Goddess for further information.
