In Lord Atisha’s practice Lineage of the 21 Taras, 8 of the 21 Taras are red or red-black. The Red Taras are the Power mantras, the magnetizing, attracting, influencing and enchanting mantras. Tare 1 is the Swift Heroine of Glory and Tara 5 is Kurukulle, both powerful magnetizing Taras. Also red are Tara 10, 17 and 21. The Red Black Taras (6, 8, and 13) are also Power and magnetizing Taras but slightly more “wrathful” — the irresistible force of Tara’s activities. Below the playlist, you’ll find all the mantras for chant along! May all beings benefit.
