21 Taras powerful Dharani Mantras in Sacred Sanskrit as taught by Buddha, beautifully chanted

The 21 Taras Mantra Dharanis in Sanskrit, as taught by Buddha in the Kangyur, became popularized as the 21 Homages or 21 Praises to Tara. When chanted in the original Sanskrit, the 21 Praises to Tara are 21 potent and powerful Dharanis (long-form mantras). There is a short intro.

Although popularized as both a Tibetan and English 21 Praise chant, in its Sanskrit Holy syllable form, it is an original Dharani as taught by the Buddha. In its Tibetan or English form, it loses its sacred vibrational sound and the actual “meaning“ (translation) is significantly more simplified in other languages. The Dharani is nuanced and profound in Sanskrit. In its Sanskrit form it is a Dharani or mantra (or series of 21 Dharanis), but in other languages it becomes more of a “chanted prayer or praise“ or hymn. For example, Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha, the famous and powerful mantra of Tara, if translated to English, is simply, “I prostrate to Tara the liberator, mother of all the victorious ones“ — beautiful, but lacking the sacred sound vibrations of mantra, and missing the nuanced and layered meaning of each syllable. Credits: 21 Taras Paintings by Niels Petersen The 21 Praises to Tara are famous for blessing activity, protection, healing, long-life practice and wish-fulfillment — especially if chanted in original Sacred Sanskrit. Tara, the Mother of the Buddhas, emanates in countless forms to help suffering beings in our troubled world. Each of these forms specializes in one of these Enlightened activities: the various White Taras for peaceful activity, the Red Taras for magnetizing and enchanting, the Yellow Taras for auspiciousness and wish-fulfilment, and the Black Taras for wrathful power to overcome evil or negative forces and obstacles. Chanting Tara’s Praises daily — especially in the original Sanskrit — is a practice recommended by countless Buddhist teachers. Shakyamuni Buddha taught the 21 Praises originally in Sacred Sanskrit. Chanting the praise with the original Sanskrit vowels of Buddha is important as an empowering method, energizing the sounds with mantra and seed syllable vibrations.
