DEITIES AND TARAS
SERIES
The vision of this Deities and Taas Series came to me many years ago through dreams and was inspired by the Buddhist and Hindu cultures. 2 cultures that changed my life completely and transformed me into who I am today.
But I was so scared to begin this series for some years. I just didn’t feel ready until, many signs were shown to me through people I met, books I read, and some other visions. It was like a call I couldn’t ignore anymore.
This is the first one in a series that is waiting for me to bring to life this year. Each deity will symbolise a different characteristic and will express a different feeling.
This particular one, Yidam, is about meditation. She’s a reminder for us to go inside and find the peace, the tranquility and the connection with one’s self/soul inside.
Yidam is a meditational deity that serves as a focus for meditation and spiritual practice. Yidam is considered to be a manifestation of enlightened qualities and a means to connect with specific aspects of the enlightened mind. The Yidam is visualized during meditation in intricate detail, with the aim of internalizing its qualities and attributes. This practice is intended to facilitate the practitioner’s transformation and realization of their own innate enlightened nature. It is believed to help purify the mind, accumulate positive karma, and ultimately lead to the realization of emptiness and the nature of reality.
