Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 A while back, the group discussed this particular Tara mantra: /message/29441 /message/29443 /message/29446 /message/29447 If you google tara mahavidya sadhana and tara mahavidya mantra you will find other Tara mantras (with rather suspect-looking transliteration) along with oddball advice and various warnings. So there are other Tara mantras. --- " univmama/sarada " <univmama wrote: > > i think tara is the goddess associated with the cemetery! her > mantra is tare tuttare ture swaha. if u wsh to recite her > mantra fr curing diseases it can be modified to tare tuttare ture > sarva vyadhibhyo raksham kuru swaha or to defeat enemies, tare > tuttare ture sarva shatrubhyo raksham kuru swaha, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 When I tried googling Tara Mahavidya Mantra, I came up with a few different variations on the mantra. Om Aim Hrim Shrim Hoom Fat Om Hrim Strim Hoom Fat One had something like Tarayai added to the mantra. There were claims that Tara grants wealth and is associated in some way to Saraswati? Has anyone tried these mantras on a regular basis? Thanks, Shankari http://shankarikali.wordpress.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Dear Friends, For those you are interested in Maa Tara Sadhana here is my mail. First of all let me brief you, as per Hindu Tantra, Maa Tara has four personification they are a) Tara b) Ugra Tara c) Maha Ugra Tara & d) Neela Tara. Neela Tara is associated to Saraswati. Ugra Tara and Maha Ugra Tara are Angry Goddesses and hence doing her Sadhana requires thorough guidance from your Guru. Without Guru's blessing, protection and guidance, the Sadhana of Ugra and Maha Ugra Tara are very risky because, even a slight mistake in doing her Sadhana can pave reversal impact in Tantra Sadhana or one shall definitely not be in a position to complete her Sadhana. However, Tara and Neela Tara are Semi-Angry Goddesses and hence doing her Sadhana for us like devotees are also equally beneficial but indeed requires some procedures to follow. Maa Tara is a compassionate Goddess and guides/bless her devotees along the creative path. She is also the giver of wealth, peace and love. " STRIM " is the Beej Mantra of Maa Tara As regards to mantras posted by - Shankari Kali, they are the mantras for the Sadhana of Ugra Tara and Maha Ugra Tara. " OM NAMAHA TARAYAI SUNDARI NAMAHA " is the mantra I chant when I do the Sadhana of Maa Tara and am regularly chanting her mantra daily. I am one example to let you know that I have realized and gained lot of material wealth in chanting her Mantra besides peace and love in my family. Sadhana time for Ugra Tara and Maha Ugra Tara is at Mid Night between 00:01 to 03:00 Hrs wherein any time after 22:00 to 00:00 is also good for the Sadhana of Maa Tara and Neela Tara. I have come up with a 14 page pdf book titled " Sadhana – A Spiritual Process in its Most Basic Form " written by myself after adopting various methods. The methods as mentioned in the book, if followed with full faith and dedication, I am 100% sure, one can definitely succeed in their Sadhana. Interested friends can write me at december191968. I shall be very much glad to share the knowledge of Tantra Sadhana after all; we all seek love and happiness in our life. With regards, Jayaraj Menon , Shankari Kali <shankari_kali wrote: > > When I tried googling Tara Mahavidya Mantra, I came up with a few different variations on the mantra. > > Om Aim Hrim Shrim Hoom Fat > > Om Hrim Strim Hoom Fat > > One had something like Tarayai added to the mantra. > > There were claims that Tara grants wealth and is associated in some way to Saraswati? > > Has anyone tried these mantras on a regular basis? > > Thanks, > Shankari > > http://shankarikali.wordpress.com/ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Namaste Jayaraj: Thanks for the warning. I have had my share of experiences with the angry aspect of the goddesses. I have also been doing a practice to Saraswati for some time, so it would seem natural that I would be drawn to Neela Tara. Shanti Om, Shankari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Pranam. I believe that Tara is also called Neela Saraswathi. With Love Shankaree Let my every word be a prayer to Thee, Every movement of my hands a ritual gesture to Thee, Every step I take a circumambulation of Thy image, Every morsel I eat a rite of sacrifice to Thee, Every time I lay down a prostration at Thy feet; Every act of personal pleasure and all else that I do, Let it all be a form of worshiping Thee. " From Verse 27 of Shri Aadi Shankara's Saundaryalahari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
