Mohā

Mohā (Sanskrit: मोहा), a Sanskrit word often rendered as “delusion," refers to the Hindu and Buddhist concept of ignorance that prevents the understanding of Truth. Bhagavad Gita, Verse 2.52, explains this delusion (moha) as infatuation or attachment to maya.

In Ayurvedic classics, hallucinations and delusions are referred to as false perceptions (mithyājñāna), illusions (maya), infatuations (moha), or confusion (bhrama).

In Yoga philosophy and Hatha Yoga Pradipika, moha is described as a delusion that clouds the mind. It has been cited as one of the causes of perjury. It is one of the Shadripurs.
