Maa Durga had taken birth in the home of the Parvat Raj Himalaya (Raja
of the Himalayas) Hence, this incarnation of hers got the name Shailputri.
The name of the King of the Himalayas was Hemavana. Hence, she also got the name Hemavati.
In her previous birth, she was the wife of Shivji & putri of Raja Daksha. So, she also has names like sati. Once,Raja Daksha organized a big Yajna event. He didn’t invite Shivji. But, Sati couldn’t resist it and she arrived there. During the Yajna, Daksha insulted Shivji. She
could not take it and jumped into the fire of Yajna. Later, she took birth in the home of Mountain deity as Parvati & married Shivji again.
Shailputri Mata governs the planet Moon in astrology. Worshiping her can eliminate all the bad effects of Moon.
In this avatar, Durga Maa embodies tapa.The name Brahmacharini is derived from two words “Brahma” refers to "Tapa" so Brahmacharini means Tapacharini so “Charini” means one who performs the tapa
Durga Maa took birth as the daughter of the King Himavan
She was name as Parvati.
Under the guidance of Devrishi Narada Muni, she practiced hard penances to be a soul mate of Shivji.For more than thousands yrs she only had fruits and dry leaves therefore eating only this she slept on the floor of the forest under an open sky
for years in order to successfully complete her tapa. Thus, she earned name Tapascharini or Brahmacharini which means one who follows the path of Tapa.
Finally she gave up eating fallen leaves as well & continued her tapa without food and water due to thousands of years of tapa
