BRAHMACHARINI

Known by the name of Bayo by the entire village, she belongs to a tribal community. The jungle is her home. She is brave, confident, knowledgeable, happy and a lovely person.

She fights for tribal women’s rights and has associated herself with several local organisations. She doesn’t only for tribal women but she sometimes needs to fight wild animals, since the jungle is her home.

She is deterministic just like Bramhacharini who is doing intense tapas to achieve her goal. On the second day of Navratri, Mother Divine takes the form of Brahmacharini. This is a quiet, beautiful, and yet powerful form of Durga Devi, where She undertakes severe penance to attain Lord Shiva as her consort.

Both Bayo and Brahmacharini teach us to be resilient and determined to face any obstacle in this world.
