Mother Arya Tara is the action-hero of the Buddhas. She is described as the activity of all the Buddhas. Principle Green Tara represents all activities, the activities of the Karma family. White Taras are for pacifying. Red Taras are for magnetizing, attracting and controlling. Yellow Taras are for enriching. Blue or Black Taras are for powerful activities. Why though are there several red, yellow, white and blue Taras?

Each Tara is a specialist. To practice any of the 21 Tara mantras, we usually begin with a short Green Tara practice. We have a short recite-along practice linked at the information icon.

Then, we focus on the activity we are supplicating, such as healing, enriching or influence. Here, we decode each of the 21 Tara mantras. Although it is taught you do not have to know the meaning of a mantra for it to be effective, it can be helpful to understand.

All 21 of the mantras begin with Om Tare Tuttare Ture and end with Svaha, so the entire Tara mantra is contained within each of the longer 21 mantras. Even without the supplemental activity supplication, Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha is already both her Praise mantra and also a supplication to save from the 8 fears and dangers.  All Tara mantras have this supplication included:

Om is homage to the Body Speech and Mind of Tara. Tare, liberates and saves us from suffering in Samsara Tuttare liberates us from the 8 dangers of lions, elephants, fires, snakes, robbers, prisons, floods and demons, which also mirror the poisons of pride, delusion, hatred, jealousy, wrong views, greed, desire, attachment, doubt. Thus, Tuttare liberates us from every outer and inner danger. Ture, liberates us from disease. Svaha, is the root of the path, and means “be it so” or “well said.”

To this, each of the 21 Taras Mantras adds an extra specific layer of intention-setting and supplication.
