The Great Divine or Divine Powers Dasa Maha Vidya

is a transpersonal transformation system with tools consisting of:

Yantra
Mantras
Symbolic iconographic representations – which can be used as a mandala or a meditation icon
and an associated metaphysics.

These practices have the ultimate goal

supreme realization, salvation, moksha, spiritual liberation, in order to achieve the passage of the being from the finite to the infinite,
from ignorance to knowledge, from what is transient to what is impassable,
from immanence to transcendence
starting from love, passion and concern or, even, attachment to the
world, what is still limited.

These are in fact aspects of the natural life of man which,

Although still a “man of desire”, he seeks limitlessness, salvation or … God,
starting from the experience of the Knowledge of the world.

Vidya means knowledge

and this will mean, in the end,
the knowledge or living of identity
with the Supreme Being or God, the Lord God or the Supreme God. That is why it is said that these Maha vidyas in number are with one end in immanence, in manifestation or in the natural life of man and with one end in non-manifestation, in transcendence
or in God or the Supreme One being.

They represent a complete system

These 10 so-called Goddesses represent the “360 degrees”,
the complete circle of human experiences that can lead the authentic
Seeker from immanence to transcendence. Therefore, regardless of the resemblance of any Maha Vidya
to one or the other of the Hindu goddesses,
she is absolutely different from them
by the specific role she has within
the system of the 10 Mahavidyas or Dasa MahaVidya.

They are different facets of the same one goddess

God in his feminine hypostasis and, therefore,
any of them contains all the others,
but manifests more or less easily certain specificities. It is as if we look at a goddess from the left, from the right, from above or from below,
observing and worshipping first certain aspects and not others
that are, in that situation, further and smaller in our vision.

TARA – The Great Divine Power of Compassion is the second of the Dasa (the ten) Mahavidya

It is mainly a manifestation of the compassion and quick help offered by the goddess to the one who adores and invokes her.

The Great Divine Power Tara or Supreme Goddess of divine compassion is, in fact, a personification for the worshipper’s use of the facet of the power of divine compassion of the one God or the one Supreme Being.
This universal compassion generates a salvation, a salvation, a help that is not of the magnitude of the merit or possibilities of the one who appeals to this grace, according to the principles clearly enunciated:

“If a man takes a step towards God, he takes ten steps towards man,
but it is necessary that man necessarily take at least that one step.”
God gives you but he doesn’t put it in your bag.”
” Man proposes and God disposes”

However, not every request, desire or aspiration is fulfilled or supported because regardless of its nature, it is necessary to be sincere,
to be at the limit of personal power in that direction and to be in accordance with the Universal Order.

In India Tara is a particular form of manifestation of Durga the beautiful and terrible goddess that gives full control over inferior human passions.

The oral tradition gives a special origin to the goddess Tara

The legend begins with the “beating” of the primordial ocean for the extraction of the divine nectar (which was then to be divided between the deva-and the-asura-and) and the universal poison.
Then Mahadev, in order to save the world, drank the poison, and his throat became indigo or blue because of that poison.
Only He could swallow the poison without consequences, earning the name Nilakantha.
He thus saved the world from destruction, but fell into unconsciousness under the powerful effect of the poison.
Mahadevi Durga appeared as Maa Tara and took Shiva on her lap.
He sucked the milk from her breasts to counteract the poison and recovered. This legend is related to the one in which Shiva stops the unleashed Kali by manifesting herself as a child.
Seeing the baby, Kali’s maternal instinct also comes to the fore when she feeds him with the milk from her breasts.
Like Shakti Mahabhagwat, she is the one who created the first seed from which the entire universe was born in the form of Narayana – Vishnu.

We will refer here to Tara in its Buddhist version

Tara is a tantric goddess worshipped by practitioners of Vajrayana Buddhism, the facet of the One Supreme Being or God, in order to develop certain inner qualities and to understand both external and inner and secret teachings about compassion and nudity.
Tara is actually the generic name for a number of similar-looking Bodhisattvas.

The most famous facets of Tara are:

– THE GREEN TARA, (Syamatara) known as the Buddha with illuminating action;
– THE WHITE TARA, (Sitatara), also known for compassion, long life, healing and tranquility; it is also known as- the satisfactory wheel of desires or Cintachakra;
– THE RED TARA, (Kurukulla) a fierce aspect associated with that which is good for all who are part of the spiritual group;
– THE BLACK COUNTRY, associated with power;
– Yellow TARA, (Bhrikuti) associated with well-being and prosperity;
– The blue TARA, associated with the transmutation of anger;
– Tara chants, a widely worshipped variant in gelugpa tantric Buddhism, portrayed as green and often confused with the green Tara;
– Khadiravani TARA (Acacia Forest Country), which appeared to Nagarjuna in the Khadiravani Forest of South India. There is also recognition, in some schools of Buddhism, of twenty-one manifestations of Tara.
A text glorifying the 21 manifestations of Tara is recited in the morning in all four sects of Tibetan Buddhism. Within Tibetan Buddhism, Tara is regarded as a Bodhisattva of compassion who provides a sthenic state characterized by activity.
She is the feminine aspect of Avalokitesvara.
