Om tare tuttare

Deva Premal's 'Om tare tuttare' is a deeply spiritual and meditative chant that invokes the presence of Tara, a revered figure in Tibetan Buddhism. Tara is considered the female counterpart of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. The lyrics are a mantra, a sacred utterance believed to have spiritual and psychological power. The repetition of 'Om tare tuttare ture swaha' serves as a form of meditation, aiming to connect the chanter with the divine qualities of Tara.

The mantra itself is rich in meaning. 'Om' is a sacred sound and a spiritual icon in Indian religions, often considered the sound of the universe. 'Tare' is a call to Tara, while 'Tuttare' is believed to remove all fears. 'Ture' is said to grant success in spiritual practice, and 'Swaha' is an offering or homage. Together, these words form a powerful invocation that seeks to embody the compassion, strength, and wisdom of Tara.

Deva Premal is known for her soothing and ethereal musical style, which often incorporates ancient mantras and chants. Her rendition of 'Om tare tuttare' is no exception, providing a serene and contemplative atmosphere that allows listeners to immerse themselves in the spiritual experience. The music serves as a bridge, connecting the ancient wisdom of the mantra with contemporary seekers of peace and enlightenment. This song is not just a piece of music but a spiritual tool, inviting listeners to explore deeper levels of consciousness and compassion.
