नंदी की सवारी चले भोले भंडारी ~ बोलो बम बम बम भोले! शिव का सच्चा और परम भक्त सिर्फ़ एक ही है, नंदी, शिव का वाहन। 💀🐂👁🐂💀

Nandi, True Devotee of Shiva, Who loves Shiva more than himself and Serves Shiva without any conditions. Nandi is the mount of Lord Shiva, and when the Lord dances he plays the Madhalam. He has an acute sense of rhythm, and is well versed in music. Some people have elevated him as an equal to Lord Shiva thus bringing a sense of jealousy in Parvati. Most times Parvati treats Nandi as a Bull, a Carrier, when she needs to take a walk with Lord Shiva, around Mount Kailash. Inwardly Maa Parvati relishes that Nandi is an obstacle to all the devotees of Lord Shiva, because in all Shiva Temples Nandi is present in front of the sanctum sanctorum just as a Gate Keeper. So most devotees pray first to Nandi, that there should not be any obstacles while praying to Lord Shiva in his abode. One another reason why the idol of Vignavinayaka is placed prominently in all Shiva Temples. In the Tamil language "Nandi" is a metaphor for a person blocking the way. In Sanskrit, the common bull is "vrisha", meaning : righteousness or Dharma. So bull represents Dharma Devata. Lord Shiva rides on the bull. This denotes that Shiva is the protector of Dharma, is an embodiment of Dharma or righteousness. So it is important to seek the blessings of Nandi first before one proceeds to worship Lord Shiva.! ✨💀🔱👁🐍🌙🐂🌿🕉🌷🔔🐚🎨🐂💀🌙👁🔱🐍✨
