Description
Tara holds a very high position in the Buddhist pantheon, she is regarded as the most powerful and popular goddess. Tara also means Mahashakti, the great power. She is also known as Mahamayuri, the queen of magic arts and the chief of the female protector deities. She is worshipped for longevity of life. Tara (Tib. Dolma) is worshipped for her assistance in aiding the believer to overcome obstacles on the path to enlightenment. She is found in a variety of forms (twenty one are represented).
White Tara (Sveta Tara) is regarded as companion of Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. She was born from one of his compassionate tears. She is the manifestation of wisdom and as the embodiment of prajna, or insight she is praised by the highest Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and worshipped by lamas and laymen. She is generally portrayed as seated, dressed and crowned like a Bodhisattva. Her right hand is in Varada Mudra (Boon Granting Gesture). Her left hand is in Jnana Mudra (Teaching Gesture) or holding the stem of a lotus.
