Goddess Tara Devi is the second Dasha Maha Vidya. Tara Devi is similar in many respects to Maa Kaalika Devi. Tara Devi’s maternal instincts provide the devotee with the right posture with spiritual nourishment. Detailed Wikipedia article is found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tara_(Devi) . I love Tara Devi Ashtakam.

ReplyDeleteHello Unknown:
DeleteTara Devi has blessed me with peace in the heart. That feeling of clean, pure, unqualified love is a blessing in itself. Additionally, miraculously an Indian gentleman I met in the Frankfurt airport took me to a Swamiji in Chennai, who, of all Deities, gave Upadesha of Tara Mantram.
So She is All Loving !!
Sorry for a reply after a year and a half -- this is also HER doing !
