Video narration
Navratri ke doosre din, kalpana kijiye - Himalaya ki rajkumari Parvati saamne hain. Man mein keval ek sankalp: Shiv ko apne jeevansaathi ke roop mein paana. Lekin yah ichchha jald poori hone wali nahin thi. Parvati ne rajmahal ki sukh-suvidhaen chhod diin aur van mein jaakar tapasya shuru ki. Kathin mausam, bhookh aur ekaant ke beech unka dhyaan nahin toota. Samay beetta gaya. Kathinaaiyan badhti gayin, phir bhi Parvati apne sankalp se peeche nahin hatin. Yahin katha badal jaati hai. Shiv se vivaah ki ichchha ab keval vyaktigat chaah nahin rahti; vah bhakti, sanyam aur adig saadhna ka roop le leti hai. Isi tapasvini roop ko Maa Brahmacharini kaha jaata hai - arthaat, dhairya aur sanyam se saadhna karne wali shakti. Maa Brahmacharini hamein sikhaati hain: sacchi shraddha aasaan dinon ki bhaavna nahin, kathin samay mein bhi tike rahne ka sankalp hai.
