Maya also refers to asura Maya Danava (Mayasura) of the Mahabharata who is son of Diti (wife of Kashyapa a SaptaRisi).[1] He is said to have built the Mayasabhato the Pandavas. MayaAsura is mentioned in Uttar-kn?a of Ramaya?a and here he istold be the son of Diti (wife of Kashyapa a SaptaRisi).[2] Again according to Dr. Smith the entire Uttar-kn?a of Ramaya?a to many seems a later interpolation.[3]

In 2004 Sthapati started construction of a " monument to Mayan near Mamallapuram.[4]

Mamuni Mayan is credited with feats ranging from the composition of a primeval "Pranava Veda" to the construction of UFOs. In Tamil national mysticism, Mayans "Pranava Veda" is considered the original Tamil Veda, written some 10,000 years ago in Kumari Kandam, from which the Hindu Vedas are imperfect derivations.

Mayan is credited with the authorship of the Mayamata Vastu Shastra as well as the Aintiram (Aindra, a school of grammar connected with the Tolkappiyam). If there had been a grammatical treatise called Aintiram, it has been lost, but a text

called Mayan's Aintiram dealing with Vastu Shastra was published by Sthapati in1986, with the support of C. Aranganayakam, Tamil Nadu minister of education, and again in 1997 by the "Vaastu Vedic Research Foundation" with English commentary by S. P. Sabarathnam. MayaAsura is credited with the Surya Siddhanta,[5]

The 29 September 2003 edition of the Deccan Herald had an article on Mayan by R.R.Karnik,

The originator of all these ancient sciences is one known as Mayasura of the same tribe that constructed the mayasabha of Mahabharata. But the period is that ofRamayana some 16,000 years ago. He is the father of Mandodari and father-in-lawof Ravana. One of his niece was Sita, who had married Rama and [by] an error ofjudgement started the epic war. He was master in many subjects. Some of these a

Some Tamil mysticists think that all of human culture is derived from the "Mayonic tradition", including that of mesoamerican Maya civilization.[6] Intrigued bythe homonymy, G. V. Sthapati visited Central America and "traveled throughout that region visiting ancient monuments and meeting with modern Mayan representatives."
