Why does Nandi always sit towards Lord Shiva?

Just as Nandi's eyes are towards Lord Shankar, in the same way our eyes should also be towards the soul.

Whenever we visit Bholenath's darshan, our focus is on Shivlinga and then our eyes are on the artwork of the temple and other things later. In the temple, we have seen Nandi cow and before reaching Shivling, we bow our heads in front of Nandi and bow down to him?

But have you ever wondered why Nandi is always made to sit in front of Lord Bholenath's temple and why his mouth is always towards Shivling?

In the temple of Lord Shankarji, the statue of His Ravari Nandi is installed in front of him because Shivaji's vehicle is considered a symbol of Nandi Purushharth i.e.e. hard work and dedication.

The belief is that just as Nandi is the vehicle of Lord Shiva, our body is the vehicle of our soul. Just as Nandi's eyes are towards Lord Shankar, in the same way our eyes should also be towards the soul. Means every human should look at his faults and at the same time always keep good feelings towards others in his mind.

Bhagwan Shankar's ride Nandi's signal is that only when the body focuses on the soul, every person can be completely sacred by character, conduct and behaviour that means that every human being should have his mental, practical and You should always examine the qualities and faults of speech and with this, like the Lord Shiva who does good and welfare of others should be kept in your mind. Keeping all these things in mind, Nandi always sits towards Bholenath.
