VEDIK GYAN:
The story behind having Nandi sitting in front of Lord Shiva in all our temples 🐂
During the time of Samudra Madan(Ocean Churning) for Amrit. Initially Poison (KALAKUTA Vish) was ejected. The Devas prayed to Shiva and hoped that he would come to their rescue for the poison was the most effective fiery substance, which no one except Shiva could swallow.
Lord Shiva held this poison in his throat and saved the mankind. The poison was so powerful that it turned lord Shiva’s throat in to blue color. From then he was also known as Neela kanta.
Coming back to Lord Shiva blue throat. The poison in the throat is always a burning sensation for lord Shiva. Lord Shiva loves to spend time in meditation (Dhyanam). But this burning throat is not allowing him to do his meditation. Then he ordered Nandi to sit in front of him and blow some air on to his throat. The air blown on to his throat relieves him from the burning sensation. From then Onwards, Lord Shiva does his mediation with the help of Nandi.
LEARN Sanskrit
भोगा न भुक्ता वयमेव भुक्ताः
तपो न तप्तं वयमेव तप्ताः ।
कालो न यातो वयमेव याताः तृष्णा न जीर्णा वयमेव जीर्णाः ॥ –
bhōgā na bhuktā vayamēva bhuktāḥ
tapō na taptaṃ vayamēva taptāḥ ।
kālō na yātō vayamēva yātāḥ tṛṣṇā na jīrṇā vayamēva jīrṇāḥ ॥
*भावार्थ:* भोगों को हमने नहीं भोगा, बल्कि उन्होंने हमें भोग लिया। तपस्या हमने नहीं की,बल्कि हम स्वयं तप गए। काल कहीं नहीं गया बल्कि हम चले गए । तृष्णा नहीं गयी बल्कि हम जीर्ण हो गए।
Meaning : Desires were not devoured but we ourselves were devoured, penance was not observed we ourselves were made to suffer, time did not pass we ourselves became aged, hungers were not sated we ourselves were digested.
