It Is Possible To Gain Omniscience By Reciting “Tara Stotram”

In this article, I am describing Tarastotram, one of the ten disciplines of Dashamahavidya, the presiding deity of Jupiter “Nilasaraswati Tara Mahavidyashastra” itself, belonging to the Nilatantra. In the wealth of that knowledge, the infinite mercy of Devguru Jupiter is gained.

Indian Tantra did not have this lore.
That knowledge came to our Bengal from China through Tibet through the hand of sage Bashishtha. Although the exact date of composition of this stotram is not known. However, the name ‘Mahakalbhairava’ is found as the author.

There are a total of 24 chapters in the Nilatantra. According to Tantra researchers, this stotram was composed long after “Gandharvatantra” and “Durgasaptashati”. As a result of reciting this stotram, the power of poetry, the gain of ultimate knowledge, the gain of eloquence, the knowledge of all scriptures, the gain of Lakshmi, the attainment of pleasure, the increase of fame and the increase of brilliance, are abundant. I am going to reveal this to my reader friends.

After daily bathing, with burning incense sticks and earthen lamps lit, sitting facing north, reading only once, can assure the ultimate result, which is absolutely certain. However, as described in the stotram, it is obligatory to recite it in the
morning, noon and evening.
