2nd day of NavRatri — Mother Brahmacharini : The Swadhishthana

2nd day of #navratri is of #yogic #radiance and majestic manifestation of #love & #loyalty, #wisdom & #knowledge. It’s a day of #brahm #tapa … it’s a day of mother #Brahmacharini … the one who holds a #rosary in her right hand and a #kamandal in her left hand … one inspires to hold on to #ethics and march on the path of #karma irrespective of circumstances or environments… one who governs the #swadhisthana #chakra … As mentioned in the navratri 1st day post (previous), the #muladhara chakra is the storeroom in which experiences and karmas lie. The activation of these karmas occurs in the swadhisthana, and it is here the opportunity is to purify them … it is here exists a valuable opportunity to develop #consciousness to a higher level … to bring our baser instincts under control, transform them and ultimately transcend them … letting everything go so that #kundalini can rise up …

… my prayers to mother — तपश्चारिणी त्वंहि तापत्रय निवारणीम्। ब्रह्मरूपधरा ब्रह्मचारिणी प्रणमाम्यहम्॥ शङ्करप्रिया त्वंहि भुक्ति-मुक्ति दायिनी। शान्तिदा ज्ञानदा ब्रह्मचारिणी प्रणमाम्यहम्॥
