Tara was once a princess named Yeshe Dawa who was deeply devoted to the Dharma. After achieving great spiritual insight through meditation, she was encouraged by monks to pray for rebirth as a man, since male incarnation was traditionally seen as more favourable for attaining enlightenment.

But Tara rejected this idea.

She declared:

“There are many who wish to become men, but none who wish to become women. Therefore, until samsara is empty, I shall remain a woman and work for the benefit of all sentient beings.”

Tara chose to embody the feminine principle of compassion and wisdom, proving that enlightenment is not limited by gender.

Tara is now revered as the “Mother of all Buddhas,” and her many forms (Green Tara, White Tara, Red Tara, etc.) reflect different aspects of enlightened activity

The Sri Yantra is considered the supreme Yantra and all Yantras are understood to be derived from it ... Some say it was divinely revealed. Yantra means tool or instrument ~ interestingly the human body is also considered a Yantra .....T.V. Kaplan Sastry notes basic requirements for working with the Sri Yantra: 🐉🦚

🌸1. You should be a worshiper of beauty and grace ... the ability to see beauty in everything ~ even those things others deem not beautiful. Your vision must go beyond the eye ...

🌸2. You should reject ugliness in all forms ... this does not mean external form but rather ugliness in thought, word and deed. Your integrity goes beyond the superficial ...

🌸3. You should not court poverty ...Money is an energy ~ plain and simple ~ money in and of itself is not evil ~ it is not the ownership of things that takes you away from the spiritual but rather the desire for more and more that does.

🌸4. You should be optomistic about life ... negativity is also an attachment ... keeping optimistic is the natural symptom of faith that the Universe; the Gods and Godessess provide divine order in your favor to improve your life.

🌸5. You should be clean in body, mind and spirit ... this is first and foremost not moralizing ... Tantra is a path of enjoyment in the experience of life and its relationship to the Gods and Godessess ... Life is to experience ...

🌸6. You should respect the Goddess in all her forms ... the first Guru is the Mother ~ all women are the Mother, the sister, the daughter ... The Goddess flees where Women are mistreated ... Anything you do to respect the divine feminine; regardless of identified gender ~ is respecting her.... including the gentle treatment of Mother Earth 🌎

🌸7. You should live life with sincerity ... personal integrity is devolved with sincere actions that align both our heart and mind ... when our feelings and our actions are misaligned there is a disconnect .... lead always with love of what you do ...

🌸8. You should understand the dance of Maya ... this is the dance of illusion to be able to see clearly both the enjoyment of the sensory world and the enjoyment of the hidden spiritual world ...... simultaneously ... 🤞

🌸9. Your mind should be quiet ... if the voice of the mind is too loud the spirit of the heart can not be heard ... intuition becomes clouded ... have a far reaching vision beyond what you may think is possible to never limit yourself ...

Tiny (weird) witchy thing:

If you venerate/work with a god who governs over knowledge, wisdom, or study; dedicate your next Wikipedia binge to them, talk to them about your special interest, or see how their domain may intersect. The pursuit of knowledge in any its forms can be an act of worship.

"Who are you, Mother,

clothed in nothingness

glowing in the deepest recesses of my mind?

Your frenzied laughter terrifies,

while your love, like lightning from a black cloud,

shocks the world with light."

~ Rāmprasād (on Kālī)
