Shri Nila Sarasvati Stotram
Neela Sarasvati or Blue Sarasvati is a form of Tara devi in her fierce form.
Tara has an intense blue color. It is very similar to Kali and equally terrifying. Her hair is tangled and has snakes as ornaments. The tongue dangling and thirsty for blood, dances on a corpse, wears a garland of human heads and is dressed in the skin of a tiger. She has four arms holding a lotus, a sword, a scissors, a severed head or a drinking bowl.
The term Tara means liberator or savior, but also to cross, to go beyond, from the Sanskrit tri root, which means "to cross", like to cross a river, the ocean, a mountain or any difficult situation. Tara is the savior, she is the guide, it is the knowledge that saves.
Tara is also the unmanifested sound personified as a goddess. Tara is the saving force through the sound of the mantra. Tara is the OM that pervades all the creation, She is the primordial sound that is the origin of creation but also its dissolution.
Tara is also an important Buddhist deity consort of the Buddha Avalokiteshvara, she is the compassionate goddess towards all living beings. The mantra, both Hindu and Buddhist, dedicated to her as a prayer is ॐ तारे तुत्तारे तुरे स्वाहा - Oṃ tāre tuttāre ture svāhā (soha in Tibetan).
After Chanting Shri Neela Sarasvati Stotram it is required to show the Yoni Mudra to Goddess.
