TRINAYNA TARA SADHNA 

There is no need to elaborate on the significance of the *Mahavidyas* within the realm of *Tantra*. These *Mahavidyas* are regarded as embodiments of immense power, acting as the driving forces behind the dynamics of the universe. Among them, the name of Goddess Tara is widely revered by spiritual practitioners (*sadhakas*). The worship and spiritual practice (*sadhana*) of the Goddess have been performed by various great adepts (*Mahasiddhas*) in diverse forms since time immemorial. It is impossible to fully fathom the extent of the Goddess's power; she constantly bestows well-being upon seekers through her myriad manifestations. Various methods of her worship exist, encompassing both the *Dakshina* (Right-hand) and *Vama* (Left-hand) paths. Her primary form is *Mahatara*; it is from the various facets of *Mahatara* that the worship of her distinct forms—such as *Neela*, *Ekajata*, and *Chaturbhuja*—has evolved and gained popularity among practitioners. Her various forms are also prevalent in Buddhist *Tantra*, where she is known as *Dolma*. Additionally, a profound form of her worship is practiced as *Mahachina*. The foundational methodology of *Mahachina* is known as *Chinachara*—a practice that the adept Vashishtha learned from Lord Tathagata in Tibet. Furthermore, the Goddess manifests in various forms based on specific attributes and elemental qualities—such as *Shveta Tara* (White Tara), *Hiraka Tara* (Diamond Tara), and *Rakta Tara* (Red Tara)—comprising a total of twenty-one such forms. Worshipping the Goddess is significant in many respects; Goddess Tara possesses the capacity to grant any kind of accomplishment to seekers, though most worship Her to find relief from financial troubles. The Goddess manifests in various forms, each profound in its own right. One such form is 'Trinayana' (The Three-Eyed One). 'Trinayana' signifies the One who bears three eyes. These three eyes symbolize the Sun, the Moon, and Fire. They also represent the three powers—Action (*Kriya*), Knowledge (*Jnana*), and Will (*Iccha*)—and reflect the Goddess's fundamental attributes: *Sattva*, *Rajas*, and *Tamas*. Furthermore, this form symbolizes the Trinity of Goddesses: Mahasaraswati, Mahalakshmi, and Mahakali. It also signifies Her mastery over the three dimensions of time—past, present, and future. The form of Goddess Trinayana is so profound that words fall short in describing it. Worshipping Her fulfills one's desires; Her dominion over time allows Her to remove obstacles arising from the passage of time, while the solar and lunar influences of Her eyes refine and enhance both the inner and outer personality of the devotee. To perform this *sadhana* (spiritual practice), the seeker should begin after 10 PM on a Friday. It is highly beneficial to perform the practice before the *Yantra* (sacred diagram) of Goddess Tara. The clothing and the seat used for the ritual should be pink or white. After this, the seeker should chant the following mantra 21 times with pearl rosary or quartz rosary:

 ​​Om Strim Trinayana Tritradhim Detri Namah. 

ॐ स्त्रीं त्रिनयना त्रित्रधिं देत्रि नमः 

This sequence should remain for 21 days. This sadhana is also best for fulfilling the wishes of the seeker.
