Original: As the star is seen as a beautiful but perpetually self-combusting thing, so Tara is perceived at core as the absolute, unquenchable hunger that propels all life.
Simplified: In Hinduism, the Goddess Tara (Sanskrit: T r, Devanagari:) meaning "star" is the second of the ten Mahavidyas or "Great Wisdom (Goddesse) s", Tantric manifestations of Mahadevi, Kali or Parvati.
