Day 2 of Durga Puja – Goddess Bharmacharini

By | September 22, 2017

 

On the second day of Navaratri, Hindus worship Bharmachaarini, whose name means “one who practices devout austerity.”Her austere penance gained her the name of Bharahmacharini by all the devtas and Gods who were awestruck by her reverence. She enlightens us in the magnificent embodiment of Durga with great powers and divine grace. Bharmachaarini holds a rosary in her right hand, representing the special Hindu prayers recited in her honor, and a water utensil in her left hand, symbolizing marital bliss. Hindus believe she endows happiness, peace, prosperity, and grace upon all devotees who worship her. She is the way to emancipation, called Moksha.Goddess Brahmacharini is a lover of simple food and offerings. Devotees serve a bhog of sugar and fruits to Goddess Brahmacharini.
