[Advaita-l] What is the difference between Maya and avidhya ?

[Ramachandra Achar]

Sir,

       Advaita don't accept the existence of Maya ,as it is the result of
agjnana.....

But they have to accept the existence of agjnana ,as a result there exists
two things jgnana (brahman) and agjnana (Maya)....

So, advaita or non-duality is lost right?
