Goddess  Brahmcharini

Maa Bramhacharini is the goddess who is worshipped on the second day of Chaitra Navratri. Maa Bramhacharini’s depiction shows her walking on bare feet, carrying a japamala in her right hand and a kamandal in the left one.

Goddess Bramhacharini  is one of the unmarried forms of Maa Durga. She is dressed in a white saree, Maa is believed to have appeared in this avatar to perform intense penance( Tapasya) to please Lord Shiva, win his attention, and marry him.

This incarnation of  bramhacharini governs Mangal (Mars), the planet that represents good fortunes. Therefore, devotees worship her to negate the ill effects of Mangal from their lives.

Puja Vidhi and Puja Muhurat

Pray to Lord Ganesha (Vighnaharta) and seek his blessings for a hurdle-free Navratri vrat. Light a lamp (with ghee or mustard or sesame oil) and place it on the altar near the Goddess’ idol/image. Maa Bramhacharini’s idol must be dipped in honey and milk. A teeka must be applied to its forehead. Flowers, sandalwood, curd, milk, and rice must be offered to the Goddess during puja. Hibiscus and white lotus can be used on this day.

 Then, invoke Maa Bramhacharini by chanting the following Mantras

Jay Ambe Brahmacharini Mata,(जय अम्बे ब्रह्मचारिणी माता,)

Jay Chaturaanan Priya Sukh Daata.(जय चतुरानन प्रिया सुख दाता।)

Brahma Jee Ke Man Bhaatee Ho,(ब्रह्मा जी के मन भाते हो,)

Gyaan Sabhee Ko Sikhalaate Ho.(ज्ञान सभी को सिखाते हो।)

Brahama Mantra Hai Jaap Tumhara(ब्रह्मा मंत्र है जाप तुम्हारा,

Jisko Jape Sakal Sansaara.(जिसको जपे सकल संसार।)

Jay Gayatri Ved Ki Mata,(जय गायत्री वेद की माता,)

Jo Man Nis Din Tumhen Dhyaata.(जो मन निस दिन तुम्हें ध्याता।)

Kamee Koi Rahane Na Pae,(कमी कोई रहाणे न पाए,)

Koi Bhi Dukh Sahne Na Pae. (कोई भी दुख सहने ना पाए।)
