Tara (Ta-rah) Society is a charitable organization that is not affiliated with any religion, however its name was chosen from the much-loved Tibetan Buddhist mother goddess, Tara. Monks and devotees around the world chant and evoke her energies daily, calling upon her for everything from world peace, to inner peace and protection. She is considered a goddess of action, great strength and special protective powers who wards off evil and shields from spiritual harm. Tara Society’s members hold many different beliefs and welcome people of all faiths. We are united by our common purpose: assisting women in times of need, increasing safety and choice by promoting economic security.
