Nandi is referred to as ‘Meditation Bull’

 


Nandi is referred to as ‘Meditation Bull’
The representation of Nandi as a meditative bull has several interpretations. One interpretation suggests that Nandi’s meditative posture represents his state of constant meditation and devotion toward Lord Shiva. He even became a guru of meditation after getting divine knowledge from ShivaShakti. He is the guru of the eight disciples of Nandinatha Sampradaya namely,
Sanaka,
Sanatana,
Sanandana,
Sanatkumara,
Tirumular,
Vyagrapada,
Patanjali, and,
Sivayoga Muni.
Another interpretation suggests that Nandi represents the ideal state of mind for a devotee, which is calm, focused, and free from distractions. Nandi has the ability to remove obstacles and help devotees attain spiritual enlightenment. Therefore, worshiping Nandi and meditating on his form is considered to be a means of attaining inner peace and spiritual growth.
