Video
This is a supplication to Red Tara to crush and destroy (pramardhani) all maras, evils and enemies (“sarva mara”).
Meaning of Mantra by words including the sacred ten syllables of Tara:
OM , is homage to the Body Speech and Mind of Tara.
TARE, liberates and saves us from suffering in Samsara — the suffering of this world and all six worlds.
TUTTARE liberates us from the 8 inner dangers, 8 external types of dangers and 8 supernatural dangers. These are symbolically stated as lions, elephants, and so on, but represent every danger. Each external danger is a class of dangers:
- “Lions” means any dangerous animal or predatory threat;
- “Elephants” means any angry being who threatens us
- “Fire” represents any natural threat from fires, heat, drought or war, even bodily “fever”
- “Snakes” represent any threat from poison, diseases, epidemics, or environmental threats such as pollution
- “Robbers” represent any threat from crime or criminals, or even broader economic factors that rob us of livelihood
- “Prisons” refer to anything that imprisons our freedoms, any chains such as the prejudice of others, corrupt officials, and so on.
- “Floods” refer to any danger from the watery elements, not only floods, but oceans, storms, waves, drowning or any danger from water.
- “Demons” refers to any supernatural threat outwardly (and the matching internal demons, psychosis, and so on.
As explained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, these dangers mirror the “internal” poisons of pride (lions), delusion (elephants), hatred (fire), jealousy (snakes), wrong views (robbers), greed (prisons), desire (floods), attachment (demons), helping us to overcome them.
Thus, Tuttare liberates us from every outer and inner danger as well as supernatural, such as ill-intentions of others, curses, and evil magics.
TURE liberates us from disease.
SARVA means “all”
MARA “maras or demons or enemies, or evils”
PRAMARDHANI Crush and destroy them
SVAHA is the root of the path, and means “be it so” or “well said.”
