Tara Illuminated Study Group – #Dark 8 Red Destroying Tara
May 16, 2024 with Shubha Melissa Abbott
author of “Tara Illuminated The Mandala of the 21 Taras” and the “Tara IIluminated The Mandala of the 21 Taras” Practice Deck
Dark Red Destoying Tara is the 8th emanation of the 21 Taras and she is one of the subjugating Taras which means she can subjugate all that keeps a practitioner from becoming enlightened or aware. In Tibet, she is known as Zhengyi Migyalma.
She eliminates the destructive power of self-doubt, granting you faith in yourself, assurance in your ambition, and the perseverance to progress in your pursuit. She blasts through procrastination and things that divert you from your focus.
So, in essence, if you feel shame, are untrusting of yourself, and lack confidence in your abilities, ideas, or path, this Tara can help you elevate your negativity and destructive thoughts.
In Western culture, strong feminine images of enlightened consciousness or divinity have been repressed or absent for thousands of years. However, as these ancient forms, such as Tara, reemerge into our culture as icons of strength and power, they offer women and men alternative representations of enlightenment that are better suited to different personalities and spiritual needs. Tara’s feminine image provides a powerful and accessible symbol of enlightenment, one that is welcoming and nurturing. Her qualities of compassion, wisdom, and courage are particularly important for those who have been marginalized or oppressed in society, offering them a sense of belonging and empowerment.
Through taking refuge in Tara, one can tap into the rich tradition of the feminine divine, which has been celebrated in cultures around the world for millennia. This tradition recognizes the importance of nurturing and sustenance, of relatedness and interconnectedness, of openness and compassion. By embracing these qualities, individuals can find a deeper sense of purpose and meaning in their spiritual practice, and can begin to transform themselves and the world around them.
