Tara of the Suryagupta Tradition - Updated
The Suryagupta Tradition of Tara is best known for the set of Twenty-one Taras. It is certainly one of the earliest of the systems of Twenty-one along with the Atisha and Sadhana-samucchaya sets, followed later by the Tibetan systems of the Longchen Nyingtig and Choggyur Lingpa.
The unique iconographic feature of the Suryagupta twenty-one Taras are their individual appearances, expressions, number of faces, arms, and colour. The Twenty-one are generally practiced in the style of Kriya Tantra while the Seventeen Deity Tara is an Anuttarayoga practice with full explanations of Generation and Completion Stage Yogas.
