Vasant or Chaitra Navratri Day 2: Please Maa Brahmacharini

The second day of Navratri is associated with worshipping Goddess Brahmacharini. During this Vasant or Chaitra Navratri, the second day will be celebrated on 26th March 2020.

Who is Maa Brahmacharini?

Maa Brahmacharini is second of the nine forms of Goddess Durga and represents the highest level of penance. Maa Brahmacharini is actually the unmarried form of Goddess Parvati who was born as the daughter of King Himalaya and Queen Maina. Upon receiving instructions from Her Guru- Sage Narada, Goddess Parvati went to perform 'Tapasya' (penance) in order to get Lord Shiva as Her husband.

During Her extremely difficult as well as long Tapasya, She ate only fruits & flowers for 1000 years. For another 100 years, She ate only leafy vegetables and for 3000 years, She only ate fallen 'Bilva' leaves. After going through such hardships, She stopped eating Bilva leaves and ultimately even gave up water.

Due to such extreme penance, the entire cosmos got disbalanced and Lord Brahma- the Creator appeared before Her and granted Her the boon of becoming the wife of Lord Shiva and asked Her to return to Her home. Later, She got married to Lord Shiva and because of Her extreme Tapasya, She is also known as Brahmacharini.

Depiction of Maa Brahmacharini

Maa Brahmacharini is depicted as a Devi with two hands having a Rudraksha Mala in Her right hand and a 'Kamandal' in Her left hand. She is shown wearing a white saree and walking bare feet. Maa Brahmacharini has a calm, peaceful and meditative look on Her face and is the very embodiment of Tapasya, sacrifice and highest knowledge. Her unparalleled radiance is the result of Her extreme Tapasya that She performed to get married to Lord Shiva and Her aura is infinitely brighter even that of the Sun.
