Jul 9, 2018 at 7:33 comment added user9072 The knowledge of delusion as delusion is Gyana, which dispels Maya; until which, we are bound in Maya. On the contrary V.Advaita, and Dvaita consider that "delusion" to be "real" and whatever we see are in a way real.
Jul 9, 2018 at 7:30 comment added user9072 @Pandya Exactly, thats what makes me a bit confused. Advaita says that Maya is a power within Brahman. Because it is a power inherent in Brahman and, thus, essentially none other than Brahman in the same way that the wave is nothing other than the ocean, Maya is beginning-less. But Maya is the deluding force which makes us see the snake in the rope and things like that, henceforth the Mayic limitation is not real, and perception reveals mere being, not the difference and not the delusion. The delusion has to be understood as a delusion. Until that it remains as delusion.

Jul 9, 2018 at 6:57 comment added Pandya I think Vishishtadvaita considers Maya to be a real whereas it is unreal according to Advaita
Jul 9, 2018 at 5:51 comment added Swami Vishwananda Dasgupta in his "History of Indian Philosophy" vol. 4, p 12 (archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.208813), points out that there are several verses which has Advaita overtones.

Jul 8, 2018 at 11:07 comment added user9072 I also wanted to know Sri Vaishnavas and interpret that line in bold based on Ramanuja's conception of unreality and Maya in contrast to Adi Shankara.
