Second Day of Navratri : Worshiped on Goddess Bharmacharini

‘Bharmacharini’ is the second manifestation of Durga’s energy, meditated on the second day of Navratras. She represents the rigorously austere aspect of Mother Goddess in her incarnation as Sati. Since Mother Goddess spent countless number of years practicing severe asceticism to espouse Lord Shiva, She is also known as Tapa (penances) Charini (practitioner). Although She is widely worshipped for wish fulfillment; Her existence personifies love, loyalty, intense devotion to ones goal and renunciation of everything that’s materialistic.

 

Her disposition is very calm and warm. Her ornaments composed of lotuses and Rudraksha go very well with Her White clothing and ascetic character. She also holds a rosary and a Kamandalu (pitcHer) in her hands.

 

Her reign over Swadhishtan Chakra (the second last energy center in human body symbolized by a lotus with 6 petals) controls the sexual energy in human body.

 

If you worships goddess Brahmacharini, you will get a mind that remains unshaken even in the biggest hardships. No suffering will bother you if you worship goddess Brahmacharini on the second day of Navratri. She is believed to be the sign of devotion, sacrifice and determination.
