Tara
is the Great Mother of India and Tibet. She is the goddess of
divine compassion and offers protection to all who turn to her.
The
first tears of compassion formed a lake, from which a lotus grew.
When the lotus bloomed, Tara was born. As a bodhisattva,
she has vowed to always reincarnate in a female form and hence
represents the liberated female principle of enlightenment.
She
is known to help all those who call upon her in times of need.
She helps find clear direction, respite, stillness and personal
strength.
