Green Tara

Tara is one of the most ancient and renowned goddesses, with roots and branches in many different religions and countries. She is known as Tara in Indian Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, and Celtic Polytheism, and she is also linked to Grecian Aphrodite, Mesopotamian Ishtar, Pan-Asian Kuan Yin, and Finnish Tar. The Dalai Lama compared her to the Christian Mary, Mother of God. Her name means "Star" and she is known as "The One Who Saves." We call to her for help, and she answers. Lama Tsultrim Allione of Tara Mandala once spoke in a public teaching in Berkeley about Tara's miraculous ability to manifest in physical form when called upon by devotees. Astronomy, astrology, voluntarism, and meditation are all ways that you can connect to Tara's energy. Situated in the Mt Shasta Goddess Temple’s Siskiyou County landscape, Green Tara rises up on her lotus throne from the waters of Lake Siskiyou. In the distance, the sun is setting on Mt Shasta.
