[Advaita-l] Skandapurana - One becomes many due to maya

[sreenivasa murthy]

 Dear Sri Subramanian, The title "One becomes many due to maya" is completely erroneous,because it goes against Sruti, SrI Shankara and anuBava.I am sorry to say this.With respectful namaskars,Sreenivasa Murthy

 The Skandapurana says: Brahman, being One only without a second, becomes
many, like an actor donning various roles, due to Maya.  This is admitted
only in Advaita.  The Taittiriya Upanishad says: bahu syaam, prajaayeya.
The Purusha suktam says: ajAyamAno bahudhA vijAyate. The Kathopanishat too
says this alone:  एको वशी सर्वभूतान्तरात्मा एकं रूपं बहुधा यः करोति।
तमात्मस्थं येऽनुपश्यन्ति धीरास्तेषां सुखं शाश्वतं नेतरेषाम्‌ ॥
