GREEN TARA MANTRA
Om Tare Tuttare Ture Mangalam
Shri Maha Pani Svaha
I invoke Tara, swift savior and mother of compassion. Grant me blessings, divine fortune, and supreme grace. So be it.
A dear friend of mine sent me this mantra. While working on it, I thought of her, and the feeling of eternal love is woven into this track. I imagined her as a modern Tara: soft, with a blend of Chinese, Indian, and American essence. I wanted to create an atmosphere of gentle beauty. I also wanted the voice to gradually transform into a ney flute—and after some time, I managed to make it happen.
Essentially, this is a hybrid mantra, blending Tibetan Buddhist structure with Hindu-style invocations.
1. OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SVAHA
This part is the standard Green Tara mantra. Green Tara is a female Buddha associated with compassion, swift protection, and the removal of fears and obstacles.
OM – The primordial sound; the vibration of the universe; sanctifies the mantra.
TARE – Calls on Tara for liberation from suffering and mundane fears.
TUTTARE – Liberates from more subtle fears, especially internal blockages and emotional obstacles.
TURE – Represents final liberation, enlightenment.
SVAHA – Means “so be it” or “hail”; a traditional ending to many mantras, sealing the energy.
2. MANGALAM
Sanskrit for auspiciousness, good fortune, or blessing.
Adds a benevolent, prosperity-bringing quality to the mantra.
Can imply a wish for the wellbeing of all beings or for a specific intention.
3. SHRI MAHA PANI
This phrase is quite rare and requires interpretation:
SHRI (Śrī) – An honorific indicating divine beauty, grace, abundance, or wealth. It is associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, but is also used more broadly.
MAHA – Means great or supreme.
PANI – In Sanskrit, “pāṇi” means hand, but depending on context, it could also refer to a holder or giver.
Putting it together, “Shri Maha Pani” could be interpreted as:
“The Great Hand of Divine Blessing,” or
“Supreme Giver of Auspiciousness.”
Hope it brings you happiness.
May all beings be liberated from suffering.
