In Hinduism, the goddess Tara (Sanskrit: तारा, tārā) is the second of the Dasa (ten) Mahavidyas or "Great Wisdom goddesses", and is a form of Shakti, the tantric manifestations of the goddess. The word 'Tara' is derived from the Sanskrit root 'tṛ', meaning to cross.[1] In many other contemporary Indian languages, the word 'tara' also means star.A version speaks of Tara's demon-slaying form; a demon called Hayagriva wrought havoc everywhere, banishing the devas from Amaravati (Heaven) and robbing them of their possessions. The devas approached Brahma, who in turn lead them to Kali. Kali created another goddess, Tara, from her third eye and sent her to defeat Hayagriva. In the ensuing battle, Tara slew Hayagriva.
A version from the Kalika Purana associates Tara with Matangi. According to this version, when the devas were defeated by the demons Sumbha and Nisumbha, they sought refuge in the Himalayas and began to propitiate Devi. At that time, Shiva's wife (in her dark-skinned form, Matangi) saw the devas and asked whom they were propitiating. Before the devas could answer, the fair-complexioned Mahasaraswati emerged from Matangi's body and replied that the devas were propitiating her. Since Mahasaraswati manifested from Matangi's body, the fair-complexioned, eight-armed goddess came to be known as Kaushiki (meaning "sheath"). In turn, Matangi's dark complexion caused her to be known as Kali and Ugratara.
In another (less popular) version, the Earth’s landmass was created from fragments of Madhu and Kaitabh's bodies. This did not cause the birth of life because there was nothing other than water and landmass on Earth. Hence, creation was still incomplete. After water and Earth, the Sun was required to provide life force. To create the same, Mahashakti had taken the form of Tara and Mahadev had taken the form of Lord dakhineshar. He and Goddess Tara were the reasons they had brought the sun into existence. Without the eternal sun, the Earth was just a mere orb covered in ice on which life could not have survived. That is why Devi Tara had appeared from whom the sun had to arise and supply light and energy to Earth. Tara has the capability to produce light, energy and heat. When the power met with the power of Akshobhya, their combined power became the source of the sun. When the combined powers of Lord Akshobhya and Devi Tara got integrated in the sea, many pulsating energy orbs were created, in which it led to the expansion of energy. Goddess Tara created a tremendous air flow from her breath which hit the energy bodies and led to their union.
Then the increasing source of energy inside the water started assuming the appearance of the eternal sun. Thus, the eternal sun appeared by the combined powers of Goddess Tara and Lord Akshobhya. Surya thanks Akshobhya and Taradevi for giving birth to him. Tara tells him that he has been born to give his life-giving sun rays to the world and give life to all beings. She requests Lord Surya to stay at his place andar provide heat, light and life sustaining energy to the Earth. He will lead to the creation of day and night and will lead to the circle of seasons on Earth. She advises him to leave and carry out his duties of giving life to everyone. Lord Surya assured both that he will fulfill his purpose as given by them both to keep balance in the universe according to the laws of nature and not go against any law as he knows from the knowledge that they both have implanted inside him, which may put the universe in a catastrophe.
Next, Tara had assumed the form of Goddess Shodashi to provide all forms of greenery and plants to the world. Devi Shodashi then placed a bamboo inside the earth and poured one drop of water from her waterpot, this gave birth to all plant life and then all forests, trees, plants and nature grew.
Sage Vashishtha first saw Goddess Sati's body part (eye) which turned into stone in West Bengal's Birbhum district and then he started worshipping her, later in his next life he bornt as Bam Dev Or Sadhak Bamakhapa. He became the intensity devotee of Goddess Tara.
Tara The Goddess as Guide and Protector, or Who Saves. Who offers the ultimate knowledge which gives salvation. She is the goddess of all sources of energy. The energy of the sun is also a grant from her. She manifested as the mother of Lord Shiva after the incident of Samudra manthan to heal him as her child. Tara is of a light blue complexion. She has disheveled hair, wearing a crown decorated with the digit of the half-moon. She has three eyes, a snake coiled comfortably around her throat, wearing the skins of tigers, and a garland of skulls. She is also seen wearing a belt supporting her skirt made of tiger-skin. Her four hands carry a lotus, scimitar, skull and scissors. Her left foot rests on the corpse of Shiva.
