Maya Machhindra is a 1932 Marathi/Hindi Black and White film, produced by Prabhat Films, directed by Shantaram Rajaram Vankudre. This film is based on Mani Shankar Trivedi's play Siddhasansar with music scored by Govindrao Tembe.
This film based on the Tantric legend about the guru Machhindranath (Tembe) and his disciple Gorakh (Master Vinayak) on the subject of 'maya' (belief in the illusory nature of worldly temptations). The guru appears to his student to have entered the kingdom of man-hating women, married the queen (Khote) and abandoned his commitment to celibacy and pure thoughts. Gorakh sets out to rescue him but the entire experience turns out to be an 'illusion' set up by the master.
