Video: 21 Taras Five Activities Dharani Praise in Sanskrit 1 Hour: Pacifying, Enriching, Magnetizing, Wrath
Tara emanates in 21, 108 and 1008 Forms — suited to each individual’s needs, obstacles, problems and dangers. Even within the 21 Taras, there are four big systems of Taras, of which Surya Gupta is the most exotic and active. Tara appears in the five colors —
- White for Pacifying
- Black for Wrathful or Destroying
- Red for Magnetizing and Enchanting
- Yellow for Enriching
- and Green for All Activities.
Within those five colors, she has many forms. Each form addresses a different need or danger or problem. Each has it’s own mantra and each has its own Dharani verse. Traditionally, we chant the 21 Taras Dharani praise daily, especially in the original Sanskrit language, is a powerful, energizing practice. You can feel the vibrations as you listen or chant along.
