MAA BRAHMACHARINI The Second Manifestation of Maa Durga

The second day of navratri or dritiya day of shukla paksha of ashwin month is considered for the worship of maa Brahmcharini. Today the moon is in Chitra Nakshtra. Today you can say the day for Chandra darshan. We observe nine forms of Maa Durga for the accomplishment of different desires. On this very auspicious day we observe Maa Brahmcharini. We can ward off all the sorrow and tensions by worshipping Maa Durga and get the contentness.

Maa Brahmcharini has created the shashtra like mahabal and mahavidya in108 forms of Maa Durga. She is considered as the second most influentialgoddess. As Brahma is the founder of all Vedas and knowledge, Maa Brahmcharini represents all the Mantra and creation. She is the symbol of all knowledge in this perishable world.She holds a rosary in her right hand and Kamandalu in her left. She personifies love and loyalty. Rudraksha is HER most adorned ornament.To get the all attention and blessings of Maa Durga recite the following mantra--------

• YA DEVI SARVA BHUTESHU MAA BRAHMCHARINI RUPEN SANSTITHA
NAMASTASYE NAMASTASYE NAMASTASYE NAMHO NAMHA

“It means to say that Hey Maa you are present everywhere and you are famous and worshipped in the form of Maa Brahmcharini. I pray to you again and again.” There is a saying thatin previous birth Maa Brahmcharini was Parvati, the daughter of Himvan. One day she was sitting with her friends. Naradaji came there and anticipated that "You will get married with a naked ‘Bhole baba'. You were with Him in the form of Sati, the daughter of Daksh in your previous birth. But nowif you want to get Him as your husband you will have to perform penance for Him." Parvati told her mother Menaka that she would marry none except Shiv, otherwise she would remain unmarried. She started doing tapa that’s why she is also called tapacharini.
She is the symbol of power of tapa which tells us that without doing tapa it is impossible to get any happiness or siddhi. She flows the power of tapa in the body of Her devotees. This form of Maa Durga gives lots of blessings to her devotees and they develop the feelings of patience, sacrifice, tapa, varagya and sadachar. It is believed that on this very day we are in the swadhishthan chakra.
