Brahmacharini News

Rahul Roy and Sister Priyanka Roy: The brother-sister duo recently were spotted at Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde's Ganpati festivity. Let's dig out some information about her:

Mother Brahmacharini was born as a daughter in the house of King Himalaya in the past, at that time, after the teachings of Devarshi Narada, the mother had accepted Lord Bholenath as her husband. In such a situation, the mother had done severe penance to get Lord Shankar as her husband, due to this penance she was called as Tapascharini i.e. Brahmacharini.

The second day of Navratri is dedicated to Maa Brahmacharini. The nine days of Navratri are dedicated to worship Goddess Durga or feminine power Navratri begins on October 17 and end on October 25 this year.

On the second day of Navratri, Maa Brahmacharini is worshipped. 

Maa Durga is worshipped in nine forms and each day is dedicated to one of her avatars. 

Durga, who represents the feminine form, is worshipped during Navratri - Nav meaning nine and Ratri meaning nights.  

Dressed in white, Maa Brahmacharini is the unmarried form of Sati, King Daksha’s daughter, who was later married to Lord Shiva.

On the second day of Navratri festival we bow in reverence before goddess Brahmacharini, an embodiment of Maa Parvati. The ‘gorgeous’ form of Durga, the idol of Brahmacharini is presented to her worshippers with a Kamandalu in her left hand and rosary in her right hand. Brahmacharini is worshipped on the second day of Navratra and is most known as a personification of love and loyalty.
