White Tara Mantra

White Tara Mantra. This is a beautifully layered mantra calling on White Tara for her Divine Love, compassion, wisdom, and protection: oṃ tāre tuttāre ture mama āyuḥ-puṇya-jñāna-puṣṭiṃ kuru svāhā. Ocean waves come in and out of the background in the spirit of her purification.

The combined contemporary practice of Dhāraṇā , Dhyana, and Samādhi refers to Samyama and is considered an instrument of achieving various perfections, or Siddhis .
