Taaryati AgyanaandhTamasha Samriddhiyati
Bhaktaan Yah Sa Tara
One who relieves and the one who takes Her devotees towards the light of knowledge and bestows name, fame, prosperity etc. is none other than Mother Goddess Tara.
The origin of the Goddess Tara is documented in the text Tara Rahasya. The legend begins with the churning of the ocean between the Devas and Asuras. When the Halahala poison emerged forth, it had such a powerful impact on the world that it threatened to destroy all Gods, demons, innocent beings and the entirety of the world. Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and everybody present there, all requested Mahadev to save the world. Acting on the request of his devotees, Lord Mahadev entered the Ksheer Sagar ocean, and took the powerful blue poison in his hands. However, before consuming the poison, Mahadev invokes his Shakti, his consort Parvati to help him in this time of adversity. Living in Kailash, Parvati who received her husband’s prayer, her eyes broadened and turned blood-red. She transformed herself into Goddess Tara. She ran as fast as she could to rescue her husband. Back at the spot, Lord Brahma and Vishnu and all the Gods and demons all watched intensely as Mahadev finally consumes the deadly blue Halahala poison. However, as he consumes the poison, he could not fight its powerful effect as it was making his face turn dark blue.
Lord Brahma and Vishnu were starting to worry about Mahadev not being able to fight the poison’s deadly effect as his face could tell very clearly that he was in a lot of serious pain. Then, the Gods and demons all heard a horrific bloodcurdling scream from miles away, it was none other than Devi Tara. Running as fast as she could to Ksheersagar, the Goddess’s footsteps made the whole world shake, quiver and tremble with fear. Finally, Tara arrives at Ksheersagar at the nick of time, providing relief to all. An upset Mahadev, with his face turned dark blue, was relieved to see his wife Parvati as Goddess Tara, knowing that she will help him free him from his pain from the dreaded poison. Enraged on seeing her husband about to fall unconscious and pass out, goddess Tara grabbed Mahadev’s throat with both of her strong hands and prevented the dangerous blue Halahala poison from going beyond his neck. She would not stop choking him until the Halahala poison had completely vanished from his face and the poison then reappears in his neck, unable to go beyond Mahadev’s throat. Mahadev was finally liberated from the pain, and praises Tara for protecting him.
