MAYAVADI

Those who believe that the effect as such is not the real transformation of it's material cause is regarded as mayavadins or vivartavadins, Advaitavadins are very often misunderstood and described by many schools as mayavadins.but this is an inaccurate statement.Vada or theory refers to reality.all the other communications which  we use are only tharkas, inference, etc.BUT  MAYA according to ADVAIDA VEDANTA IS neither real nor unreal. it's anirvachaneeya[cannot be explained through words] it's neither real or sat, nor unreal or asat. it's indescribable.IT'Snot real as it is  not permanent, and what is real cannot be negated also.IT'S not  unreal like the son of a barren woman, as it's  effect . world appears and is percieved, so maya is not relly a theory. IT'S an account of an appearence.THAT'S WHY THE ADVAITINS are found to say"VAYAM BRAHMAVADINAH, NATU MAYAVADINAHA.[WE BELIEVE IN THE THEORY OF BRAHMAN AND NOT IN THE THEORY OF MAYA.]IMPLICATION IS THAT ADVAITINS accept non-dual Brahman  as the only reality and everything is false.
