Navratri 2nd day Maa Brahmacharini: On the second day of Navratri, Maa Brahmacharini, the second form of mother, is worshipped. Mother’s form is very bright and grand. On the second day of Navratri, the mind of the seeker is situated in the Swadhisthana Chakra. Mother Brahmacharini performed rigorous penance to get Lord Shiva as her husband.

By worshiping Mother Brahmacharini, evil tendencies like laziness, ego, greed, untruth, selfishness and jealousy go away. Remembering mother brings concentration and stability.
