ABOUT SHRI VIRENDRA QAZI

This limitations which constitutes the essential nature of the finite self is called MALA, which means impurity or taint. It is a manifestation of divine free will and is of three kinds. Anava Mala is the primary or innate ignorance of the individual soul. It reduces the universal consciousness to a limited aspect. Mayiya Mala is the limited condition brought about by maya. Karma Mala is the limitation in the power of action. Anava Mala leads to Karma Mala, e.g. good or evil actions. This leads to Mayiya Mala which brings about the experience of pleasure, pain, birth and death due to the vasanas or habit energies of good and evil actions. It is the force of the vasanas that carries the jivas from one life to another.
