In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Sacred Texts: Hymns to the GoddessTāriṇī (तारिणी) or Tara is the name of a Mahāvidyā.—The Matsyasūkta, Tārārṇava, and Nīla Tantras deal with particulars or Tārā or Tāriṇī, one of the Mahāvidyā, whose bīja is Hrīm Strīm, Hūm (Kurccha), Phat. She is called Nīlasarasvatī, because She playfully gives the power of speech. She is called Tārā on account of her being deliverer or saviour (tārakatvāt). She gives both pleasure (sukha) and liberation (mokṣa). She is called also Ugratārā, because She saves from formidable and horrible calamities. Ṛṣi Vasiṣṭha [Vaśiṣṭha] is said to have cursed this vidyā, and then raised the curse so that siddhi might be gained from Her by japa of the Bīja Hrīm, Strīm, Hūm, Phat, after which She again became glorious.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: archive.org: The Indian Buddhist IconographyTāriṇī (तारिणी) or Tārā is the Śakti, or female counterpart (spiritual consort) of Amoghasiddhi: one of the Dhyāni-Buddhas, according to Vajrayāna or Tantric Buddhism.—Her colour is green; and her symbol is utpala.—According to a Dhyāna found in the Pañcākāra section of the Advayavajrasaṃgraha, [Tārā] belongs to the Karma family to which evidently the Dhyāni Buddha Amoghasiddhi is also associated. The green colour of Tārā also suggest that she is the spiritual consort of Amoghasiddhi of green colour.
Tāriṇī’s form and nature are given in the Advayavajrasaṃgraha:—“In the īśāna corner on the orb of the moon there is Tāriṇī originating from the germ syllable Tāṃ of golden green colour. Her recognition symbol is a green night lotus. She is the embodiment of the element of Air. She belongs to the Karma family and is full of jealousy”.
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
