Maya's renderer is not capable of calculating true GI.
You need to sort out MentalDelay, PRMan 11, AIR 3 or BMRT.

Faking it is very common thing to do. And to get you going, there's a great plugin called GIJoe from Pixho: http://www.pixho.com

There's tons of others you can find from highend3d.com too, just search for something GI-related
