Navratri Aarti Day 2: The second day of Navratri brings us nearer to Maa Brahmacharini – the Goddess of penance and devotion. The sacred festival of Navratri celebrates the nine different forms of the Goddess Durga. Each day has a special meaning for those seeking spiritual growth and blessings.
Maa Brahmacharini is the form of Parvati who has not been married. She represents love, loyalty, and wisdom. On the second Navratri day, devotees can achieve peace, prosperity, and spiritual enlightenment through her worship. Devotees can connect with the Divine Mother by understanding the correct Navratri puja vidhi and aarti.

Maa Brahmacharini Aarti Lyrics:
जय अंबे ब्रह्माचारिणी माता।
जय चतुरानन प्रिय सुख दाता।
ब्रह्मा जी के मन भाती हो।
ज्ञान सभी को सिखलाती हो।
ब्रह्मा मंत्र है जाप तुम्हारा।
जिसको जपे सकल संसारा।
जय गायत्री वेद की माता।
जो मन निस दिन तुम्हें ध्याता।
कमी कोई रहने न पाए।
कोई भी दुख सहने न पाए।
उसकी विरति रहे ठिकाने।
जो तेरी महिमा को जाने।
रुद्राक्ष की माला ले कर।
जपे जो मंत्र श्रद्धा दे कर।
आलस छोड़ करे गुणगाना।
मां तुम उसको सुख पहुंचाना।
ब्रह्माचारिणी तेरो नाम।
पूर्ण करो सब मेरे काम।
भक्त तेरे चरणों का पुजारी।
रखना लाज मेरी महतारी।
