[Advaita-l] What is the difference between Maya and avidhya ?

[Venkatraghavan S]

Namaste Sri Ramachandra,

When in paramArtha, where is the question of 'coming to' vyavahAra? The
question itself is invalid. Hence the conclusion 'that there must therefore
be avidyA in paramArtha' is invalid too.

Regards,
Venkatraghavan

If Maya is avidhya kalpita,then u accept the existence of avidhya right?

@subbu sir,
agnana is not only vyvaharika,because to come from paramarthika to
vyvaharika also.....there is need of agnana....So,agnana is not only
vyvaharika
