TARE means liberating from samsara. This samsara means these aggregates: the aggregate of form, or the physical body; of feeling; of recognition; of karmic formations; and of consciousness.

TARE shows that Mother Tara liberates living beings from samsara, from true suffering, or problems. You can relate this to the particular sufferings of human beings: birth, old age, sickness and death; meeting undesirable objects and experiencing aversion; not finding desirable objects or finding them but gaining no satisfaction.
TUTTARE, liberates you from the eight fears. There are eight fears related to external dangers from fire, water, air, earth, and also from such things as thieves and dangerous animals. However, the main dangers come from ignorance, attachment, anger, pride, jealousy, miserliness, doubt and wrong views. These eight disturbing thoughts that you have in your mind are the main dangers. By taking refuge in Tara and doing Tara practice, you are liberated from these eight internal dangers, these eight disturbing thoughts. In this way, you are also liberated from external dangers, as these external dangers come from the inner disturbing thoughts.

TURE, liberates you from disease. Now, of the Four Noble Truths, TURE shows the cessation of suffering, which is the ultimate Dharma. In terms of liberating from disease, the actual disease we have is ignorance not knowing the absolute nature of the I, and all the disturbing thoughts that arise from this ignorance. These are the actual, serious diseases that we have. With cessation of all these diseases of disturbing thoughts, all the true sufferings, all the resultant problems, are also ceased. By liberating us from disease, TURE actually liberates us from the true cause, disturbing thoughts, and also the true sufferings.

The rough meaning of these three words TARE TUTTARE TURE is: “To you, embodiment of all the Buddhas’ actions, I prostrate always—whether I am in happy or unhappy circumstances—with my body, speech and mind.”

The final word SOHA means establishing the root of the path within your heart. In other words, by taking refuge in Tara and doing Tara practice, you receive the blessings of Tara in your own heart. This gives you space to establish the root of the path, signified by TARE TUTTARE TURE, in your heart. By establishing the path of the three capable beings within your heart, you purify all impurities of your body, speech and mind, and achieve Tara’s pure vajra holy body, holy speech and holy mind, which are signified by OM. Your body, speech and mind are transformed into Tara’s holy body, holy speech and holy mind. This is the rough meaning of OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA.

Om is another variation of the romanized spelling for Aum. It is made up of the three syllabus of A, U and Ma, the universal trinity. You can do more research on this on your own.

Soha, Svaha and Swahah are just variations in Romanized spellings. It also means ‘so be it’ or ‘hail’.

If you don’t know the meaning at first it is fine. IN FACT, most people don’t go too deep into its meaning in literal sense. The true meaning comes when one attain certain level of realizations/absorptions through the Sadhnas. Let the real meaning come through time and experience. Where and how do lamas get their meanings in the first place? :-) As with all kinds of meditations, realizations and experiences goes beyond any conventional words to be described.

It won’t be pointless for a start if our practices comes with the right intention (understanding) along with effort and realization. It would only be pointless if one does not know the purpose of the mantra and personal intentions on reciting it :-)

You are Loved ~~ May this song be a rememberance of the Divine Feminine in you
May you rest in that sacred place where there is only love ~ A love that shines forever in the glittery, starry,infinite heart of the ONE
