Tara Stotram
Tara Stotram is a powerful hymn dedicated to Devi Tara, the second of the Dasha Mahavidyas. As the 'Savior Goddess', she protects devotees from dangers, grants spiritual wisdom, and helps in crossing the ocean of samsara (worldly existence). Tara is both fierce and compassionate, embodying both Mahakali’s terror and Saraswati’s wisdom.
- Removes fear, danger, and obstacles
- Grants wisdom, clarity, and liberation
- Protects from death, disease, and evil forces
- Enhances meditative and spiritual power
