..the discussion of Maya (and Iswara) is found in the advaitan writings of Shankaracharya, Sureswarcarya (his disciple), Vidyaranya and Vivarana Sampradaaya..

..now, as i said i'm a student (of a few schools) ..initially it was the philosophy that caught my attention in Advaita Vedanta..
i should say that the danger of focusing on the conclusion alone is the very criticism made of 'Neo-Advaita'..to achieve lasting rather than transitory realisation of non-duality is, in the view of most traditional vedantans, a matter of work..it's a path..though not the same methods for all..

here is an article on Neo-Advaita by James Swartz
