In Hinduism, Lord Shiva's vehicle Nandi is also considered to be of great importance. As soon as you enter all Shiva temples, you find the idol of Nandi Ji facing Shiva. Nandi is considered to be Shiva's favorite Gan, who is always ready to serve him. It is believed that Nandi Ji serves Lord Shiva as the servant of Lord Shiva's gatekeeper. It is also believed that by saying your wish in Nandi's ear, it reaches Lord Shiva directly.
Lord Shiva loves Nandi very much and listens to everything he says. Therefore, worshipping Nandi is considered to be of special importance. It is believed that Lord Shiva had given Nandi a boon that if any person whispers his wish in his ear, Lord Shiva will definitely fulfill his wish. This has also been described in the scriptures.
According to mythological texts, Lord Shiva used to remain absorbed in meditation most of the time. To ensure that there is no disturbance in Lord Shiva's meditation, his Gan Nandi Ji always used to serve him as his guard. During Lord Shiva's penance, whoever came to meet him, would whisper his wish or desire in Nandi's ears and then leave. The words spoken by the devotees in Nandi's ears would reach Lord Shiva directly and Lord Shiva would fulfill them.
It is believed that this is the reason why even today devotees whisper their wishes in the ears of Nandi ji to fulfill their wishes. But there are some rules for whispering your wish in the ears of Nandi ji. Let us know what is the right way to whisper your wish in the ears of Nandi.
The right way and rule to say your wish in the ear of Nandi
- First of all worship Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati. After this, offer water, flowers and milk to Nandi ji. Now light incense and perform the aarti of Nandi.
- Although wishes can be expressed in any ear of Nandi Ji, but expressing the wish in the left ear is considered to be more important.
- Before saying your wish in Nandi's ear, pronounce the word "Om". It is believed that by doing this your wish reaches Lord Shiva quickly.
- While saying your wish in Nandi's ear, you should keep in mind that whatever you are going to say in Nandi's ear, no other person should be able to hear it. Therefore, say your wish very softly but clearly.
- While saying your wish, you should cover your lips with both your hands so that no other person can see you saying your wish.
- Do not wish to harm anyone or do any wrong deed and never say bad things about anyone in the ears of Nandi.
- After saying the wish, definitely say 'Nandi Maharaj please fulfill our wish'. Say only one wish at a time. Do not say many wishes at the same time out of greed.
