When she incarnated as a Himalayan daughter in her previous life, then influenced by Narada's instructions, she did terrible meditation to get Shiva as her divine companion. She was called a Brahmacharini because of her supernatural penance. She spent a thousand years, just on fruits and beetroots. She spent hundreds of years eating vegetables of leaves.

Celebrating complete fasting for quite a while, she experienced the torrential rain and burning sun and ditching cold under the open sky. After such a tough routine she lived on the dry bill leaves that fell on the ground for three thousand years. She was busy worshipping Shiva for twenty-four hours. She stopped eating these dry leaves after that. For several thousand years she went without food and water. She was one of her specialties as Aparna because she quit eating dry bail leaves.

Her body became very thin and thin after thousands of years of hard penance. She just landed in the skeleton. Mother Mena was very hurt seeing her pitiful condition. She urged to divert her attention with hard penance - 'u' 'ma' means 'oh! Nope, nope, nope'. Since then, Brahmacharini Devi was named Uma. This happened in her previous avatar.

Her penance, when it was, created a huge movement in all three worlds. The whole world shook. Angels, sages, saints, sages all praised her penance as an unprecedented sacred act. Finally Father Brahman addressed her through Devavani in a very pleasant manner - Oh Goddess, no one has practiced such hard penance till now. Only you could have done that. All four sides are praised for this wonderful work. Your wish will be fulfilled. You will surely have Shiva as your divine companion. Now stop doing penance and go home. Your dad will come soon to pick you up.
