Yogmaya, Lalita Tripurasundari, and Maha Vishnu are closely connected in Hindu cosmology and Tantra.
Let’s explore how in this Thread 🧵
🌺।।Yogmaya – The Divine Illusion and Power of Creation।।🌺
Yogmaya is the primordial Shakti, the Mahamaya who manifests the universe through her illusion and power.
She is Bhagwan Vishnu’s inner energy (antaranga shakti) — the one who enables him to create, sustain, and dissolve the cosmos.
In the Bhagavata Purana, Yogmaya is invoked by Vishnu to facilitate his divine incarnations. She arranges his births, hides his divinity, and protects dharma.
She is both Maya (illusion) and Yoga (spiritual power) — binding and liberating beings according to divine will.

After the great Kurukṣetra war, Bhīṣma Pitāmaha lay on a bed of arrows, awaiting his death. During this time, Yudhiṣṭhira, burdened with sorrow and doubt about his duties as king, approached Bhīṣma to seek divine wisdom on dharma (righteousness), mokṣa (liberation), and the path to peace.
Bhīṣma, full of devotion and divine knowledge, answered Yudhiṣṭhira’s many questions about dharma, yoga, karma, and devotion.
When Yudhiṣṭhira asked:
“By chanting or remembering whose name can man overcome all sorrows and attain peace and success?”
