-: देवी मंत्र :-
!! शरानागता दिनार्ता !!
!! परित्राण परायाने !!
!! सर्वस्यारती हरे देवी !!
!! नारायणी नमोस्तुते !!
" Salutations be to you, O Mother, You who are intent on saving the downtrodden
and distressed that come under your refuge , Oh Devi! you remove the suffering of everyone"
The 2nd day signifies Durga Brahamcharini. Brahma is who observes penance(tapa) and good conduct. Here "Brahma" means "Tapa". The idol of this Goddess is very gorgeous giving the message of love to the whole world. Brahmacharini wears a white and baby pink saree and looks very calm in nature. There is rosary in her right hand and Kamandal in left hand. She is full with merriment. One story is famous about her. In previous birth she was Parvati Hemavati the daughter of Himvan. Once when she was busy in games with her friends. Naradaji came to her and predicted seeing her Palm-lines that, "You will get married with a naked-terrible 'Bhole baba' who was with you in the form of Sati, the daughter of Daksh in previous birth. But now you have to perform penance for him." There upon Parvati told her mother Menaka that she would marry none except Shambhu, otherwise she would remain unmarried. Saying this she went to observe penance. For undergoing strict meditation she was known as Brahmacharini or Tapasyacharini. From that time her name Uma became familiar.
This form of Durga gives the devotees everlasting success. Worship of this appearance enriches the faculties of sacrifice, honesty and self-discipline. In times of utter distress the worship of this form gives success and the willpower to come out victorious.
On the third day of Navratri, Goddess Chandraghanta will be worshipped.
