Day 2 - Brahmacharini Maa

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
Her body has becoke extremely weak then her mother Maina was deeply pain after seeing her in such a state and she cried out "O Maa since Parvati maa also to be known as" Uma".

Later the news of such hard tapa had spread everywhere & In the end Bhramha ji appeared & told her
That no one had observed tapa the way she had & bles her she would marry Shivji in this life later following her tapa Parvati Ma also known as Brahmacharini Maa.

Later Shivji accepted her as his wife

In this avatar Durga Maa teaches penance, devotion& solitude.

Jai Mata Di🙏

अंग्रेजी का रिलीजन शब्द सनातन धर्म से थोड़ा भिन्न है रिलीजन से विश्वास का भाव सूचित होता है और विश्वास परिवर्तित हो सकता है l किसी को एक विशेष विधि में विश्वास हो सकता है और वह इस विश्वास को बदल कर दूसरा ग्रहण कर सकता है लेकिन सनातन धर्म उस कर्म का सूचक है जो बदला नहीं जा सकता l
उदाहरणार्थ ना तो जल से उसकी तरलता विलग की जा सकती है ना अग्नि से ऊष्मा विलक की जा सकती है ठीक इसी प्रकार जीप से उसके नित्यकर्म को विलग नहीं किया जा सकता, सनातन धर्म जीव का शाश्वत अंग है एवं जब हम सनातन धर्म के विषय में बात करते हैं तो हमें श्रीपाद रामानुजाचार्य के प्रमाण को मानना
चाहिए कि उसका ना तो आती है ना अंत जिसका आदि और अंत ना हो वह सांप्रदायिक नहीं हो सकता क्योंकि उसे किसी सीमा से नहीं बांधा जा सकता जिसका संबंध किसी संप्रदाय से होता है, सनातन धर्म को भी सांप्रदायिक मानने की भूल करेंगे किंतु यदि हम इस विषय पर गंभीरता से विचार करें और आधुनिक विज्ञान

▪Saraswati Mata represents Intelligence, Consciousness, Cosmic knowledge, Creativity, Education, Enlightenment, Power, and "Divine knowledge."

The four arms represent sides to human personality in learning: mind, intellect, alertness, and ego, by one interpretation.

1} Divine
knowledge is represented by the book in one hand;

2) The power of meditation and spirituality by the garland of crystal;

▪Rani Durgavati was a Chandel Rajput. She was born at the Kalinjar fort, Banda, Uttar Pradesh. Chandel Rajputs were the builders of the beautiful city of Khajurao,which had 85 magnificent temples, of which 22 still survive.

She inherited the Gond Kingdom after her husband,
Dalpat Shah died in 1550 A.D. As Vir Narayan, her son was too young at that time, Durgavati took the reins of the Gond kingdom in her hands.. Baj Bhadur after ascending the throne of Malwa in 1556 A.D., attacked the Gond kingdom but his army was routed. His defeat was so decisive
that he never dared attack Rani Durgavati’s kingdom ever again.

Thereafter, in 1564 A.D., the Mughal Emperor, Akbar decided to invade Rani’s kingdom and sent a cavalry of 50,000 with heavy artillery, under the command of Abdul Mazid Khan.
