Tara (Devi) In Hinduism , the goddess Tara ( Bengali :দেবী তারা মা )( Sanskrit : Tārā , Devanagari : तारा ) meaning "rescuer" (in feminine gender) is the second of the Dasa (ten) Mahavidyas or "Great Wisdom [goddesses]", Tantric manifestations of Mahadevi , Kali , or Parvati .
As the star is seen as a beautiful but perpetually self-combusting thing, so Tara is perceived at core as the absolute, unquenchable hunger that propels all life. Origin [ edit ] The oral tradition gives an origin to the goddess Tara. The legend begins with the churning of the ocean between the Devas and Asuras . Lord Shiva drank the poison ( Halahala ) that was created from the churning of the ocean (in the process turning his throat blue and earning him the epithet Nilakantha), thus saving the world from destruction, but fell unconscious under its powerful effect. Tara Ma appeared and took Shiva on her lap. Iconography [ edit ] The similarities in appearances between Kali and Tara are striking and unmistakable. Star Tattoos.
