The primordial energy is called as Mula Maya or Mula Prakruti

(The root space appears in three forms and these three forms are called as Maha Maya).

The primordial energy is called as Mula Maya or Mula Prakruti, which is in the form of space. When this is condensed, it appears in the form of light etc. When this is further condensed, it appears in the form of matter through illusion as explained above. When the primordial energy or its form works in a special technology, such work is called as awareness. Therefore, awareness as work form, light etc., as condensed form and matter as intensively condensed form are the three forms of primordial energy. These three forms are called as Maha Maya.

The forms of Maha Maya together constitute Maya

78) Mahaamaayaakaaryagunavarnarupaani maayaa .

(The forms of Maha Maya are quality, color and shape, which together constitute Maya).

The forms of Maha Maya constituting awareness, condensed light etc., and most condensed matter are quality, color and shape respectively. These three forms of Maha Maya are called together as Maya. A quality is just a specific design of awareness. A color is just a specific frequency of light. A shape is just a specific design of matter.
