Yogmaya, Lalita Tripurasundari, and Maha Vishnu are closely connected in Hindu cosmology and Tantra.

Let’s explore how in this Thread 🧵Image

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.Image
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. Image
