Few days ago my wife wanted to go to a temple and whisper something into the ear of Nandi Bull.
Few days ago my wife wanted to go to a temple and whisper something into the ear of Nandi Bull.
She whispered with intention into one ear .
She has matched more than 40 bridal horoscopes for my elder son , and nothing had worked out.
Within 3 hours a call came where the girl had “purvajanma bandham” – which means as per astrological horoscope the girl was a wife in the past to my son.
My own wife was the 123 rd horoscope my parents matched , and her horoscope too had “purvajanma bandham “—meaning she was my wife in the hoary past.
I , my wife and my 2 sons have “ shuddha Jatakam “ ( pure horoscopes ) – which means the Karma load balance is negligible, for the entire family of 4 – which is rare .
There are NIL doshams in a Shuddha jatakam. Doshas are formed by malefic or inauspicious combinations of planets in horoscopes.
Some wannabe gora Hindus or Indians of other religions or foreigners may smirk—so be it.
My wife then charges her hands on the sanctum enclosure granite wall, like how you charge your mobile phone battery .
The last time she did it 3 months ago, her right hand became numb in less than a minute and she had to remove her hands.
This time she completed the process and when she removed her hands from the stone wall ( inside this inner sanctum is the deity ), after two minutes , she was literally intoxicated with scalar energy absorbed and unsteady on her legs .
We all have seen the Nandi Bull at the doorway of Kedarnath temple , recently on TV right?
Below: Nandi bull facing the doorway at Kedarnath .
So what is the lore behind whispering into the bull’s ear?
Once Lord Shiva was in deep meditation , and a great calamity was about to befall. Everybody tried to shake off Lord Shiva from his deep Turiya meditation—and we unsuccessful.
Shiva’s son Ganesha used his initiative and whispered into Nandi’s ear and Shiva was woken up. It shows that Nandi is a medium to reach Shiva.
Today if you look into the internet , free encyclopedias like Wikipedia , and Indophiles ( white men pretending to be experts on India ) constantly quote Devdutt Pattanaik on matters of Hindu faith.
He has written several books on Hindu mythology, injecting poison into all of them.
He is the chief belief officer of Rothschild remote controlled Future Group, one of India’s largest retailers and he is also a newspaper columnist .
He is also a story consultant to Rothschild agent controlled Indian television network Star TV and also Ernst and Young .
Times of India too has a daily post on Hinduism—all injected with poison. Hey, for a change why don’t they inject some poison into Islam and see how their heads of the reporter and Editor gets cut off.
So let me give an example of what Devdutt Pattanaik has to write about Nandi bull , whom Hindus worship. He injects poison and allows his readers to put poisonous comments . He will NOT delete them , he has approved all of them.
ARTICLE -- Published in Devlok, Sunday Midday, August 08, 2010
I recently visited a brand new modern Shiva temple complete with a neon sign post and a billboard. The patron of the temple wanted me to see the USP of his temple: a gigantic Nandi bull placed in the courtyard facing the main shrine.
Nandi is the mount of the hermit-god. The statue made of concrete was an impressive one. As I walked around it, I asked the patron, “Is this a bull or an ox?” “It is Nandi,” he replied. So I clarified myself, “Is Nandi a bull or an ox?”
This baffled the patron. It dawned on me he did not know the difference between a bull and an ox. A true blue city-slicker, with no understanding of animal husbandry practices, he was!
I had asked the question as I noticed that the scrotum (the bag of skin containing testicles) of the gigantic Nandi bull could not be seen at the back. In any traditional Shiva temple, one is often shocked by the importance placed to Nandi’s scrotum. It hangs down prominently and some devotees, including the priest, make it a point to touch it before entering the shrine of Shiva.
Modern images of Nandi, made using concrete and marble and plastic and plaster of Paris, shy away from doing so. “Because,” explained one craftsman who I interrogated, “people feel embarrassed by it. They find it very vulgar. So we don’t show it anymore. Some even assume Nandi is a cow!”
We are becoming an increasingly prudish people. Prudishness laced with ignorance is a dangerous combination. Showing the scrotum of Nandi is critical. The point is not to titillate. The point is to inform all devotees that Nandi is male (not a cow) and that he is not castrated (not an ox or steer or bullock).
This means he is not domesticated. Nandi cannot be used to pull ploughs or carts. He is no beast of burden. To show Nandi without his scrotum is to take away his identity.
When I explained this to the temple patron, he came up with an ingenious answer to save face, “Actually the scrotum is there, hidden under his body.” I smiled as no one can make a bull of concrete stand up.
In mythology, Shiva refuses to get married and be a householder. In other words, he refuses to get domesticated. But the Goddess appeals to him to marry her.
Unless Shiva participates in worldly affairs, unless he serves her as a husband, children cannot be conceived and the world cannot be created.
Shiva reluctantly agrees. He becomes the groom of the Goddess, but he is never the head of her household. He lives with her but is not the bread winner.
He fathers children, but is not father to the children. Shakti becomes the autonomous matriarch. She becomes the cow, nourishing the world with her milk.
He remains independent in spirit, refusing to be fettered by the ways of the world. This aspect of Shiva is what Nandi portrays as he sits benignly at his master’s doorstep.

COMMENT
mk • 3 years ago – ( COMMENT APPROVED AND PUBLISHED BY Devdutt Pattanaik in Midday newspaper )
let me share an interesting and amusing anecdote as why nandi sits in front of Shivaś lingam and why we all touch his scrotum... .In the jungles of Ratnagiri, a folktale talks of lore long forgotten, there is tribe that sings the lore every shivrathri. it lore goes as below...
Shiva after getting married to Parvati was enjoying his blissful wedded life. Parvathi after some time felt longing to visit her parents place and decided to go. after many years still she did not return.
Shiva it seems was very lonely and could not continue to control his urge of sex. Lo as his phallus became stiffer, he decided to use Nandis help.
Nandi allowed shiva to ravage his body on a condition that he would do once shiva has finished his urge.
Once Shiva was over with his appetite, he ran away from nandi and sat in a small room turned himself into a phallus thus avoiding nandi.
nandi could not the small room sat outside waiting for shiva and thus has been seating ever since.
Since then, all devotees of shiva touch nandiś scrotum before we worship shiva as a reminder to nandi of shivaś promise.. so goes the tale.
I have heared this story myself among the tribals of western ghats when trekking near these remote places. So whether you guys rebuke me or not the story made every sense for me as to why touch Nandiś balls everytime.
Nandi, the white sacred bull with a black tail is the vahana ( Vimana ) of Lord Shiva. Almost all Shiva temples have the Nandi humped bull reclining on a raised platform and facing the entrance door of the shrine gazing at the Lord in his symbolic Shiva Lingam form.
After Samudra Manthan the whole sea polymerized due to a deadly poison catalyzed by Cobra Vasuki’s venom. The planet was now in imminent danger . Lord Shiva came forward as only he could salvage the grave situation.
Shiva scooped up the poison into his hand and drank it. Fearing that her husband would die, Parvati constricted his neck and the descent of the poison was in turn stopped at his throat. The poison started spilling out of his mouth and Nandi jumped forward and lapped it up.
The devas and asuras watching were shocked and wondered aloud what would happen to Nandi. Lord Siva calmed their fears saying, "Nandi has surrendered into me so completely that he has all my powers and my protection".
Nandi is of Shiva’s gatekeeper.
Nandi is of Shiva’s gatekeeper.
Mahakala is NOT a gatekeeper , along with Nandi as said by many. Mahakala is Shiva himself as Lord of Space / Time . The Mahakala Shiva Temple in Ujjain is counted third among the twelve Jyotirlingas.
In Hindu mythology, Nandi is the guru of eighteen masters (18 siddhas) which also includes Maharishi Patanjali who wrote the Yoga Sutras.
Digression: People do NOT know that Yoga asanas primarily help to shift lymph fluids around your body in ways that you would not ordinarily be able to achieve in daily life . Lymph nodes are the filters along the lymphatic system. Their job is to filter out and trap bacteria, viruses, cancer cells, and other unwanted substances, and to make sure they are safely eliminated from the body.
Approximately 70% are superficial lymphatic capillaries located just under, the skin. The remaining 30%, which are known as deep lymphatic capillaries, surround most of the body’s organs. The deep ones can be stimulated only by Yoga.
Yoga diaphragmatic breathing and many yoga positions open up the chest cavity, while poses like shoulder stands, enlist gravity to help lymph fluid get where it is supposed to go.
Since there is no pump, the lymph movement relies on contraction of smooth muscle tissue lining the walls of lymph vessels. Movement of skeletal muscles is also important for driving lymph along the systems network of vessels to lymph nodes and from these to lymph ducts where the lymph tissue joins cardiovascular circulation.
The lymphatic system is a closed pressure system and has one-way valves that keep lymph moving towards the heart.
Triple Sri Ravishankar’s SOO HUM hyperventilation does NOT do this.
Yogas keeps the human body and mind healthy .

The Shiva Purana states that Nandi is the intermediary between humans and Lord Shiva.
Before worshipping Lord Shiva , devotees first seek the blessings of first devotee Nandi . Nandi is so devoted to Shiva that his every thought is directed to Him. Nandi is always represented as quiet and benign. Nandi is also considered to be the guardian of four-legged animals.
In Shiva temples, there is always a reclining bull placed in front of the chief shrine or just outside it, with the head turned away from the deity/ lingam but the gaze fixed on it. Its free animal nature is pulling it away from God, but His grace pulling it back to him.
In Hindu mythology, Nandi is the bearer of faith, controlled strength / virility and protector of Dharma ( truth / righteousness.)
Spiritually, Nandi represents an individual jiva (soul) and the message that the jiva should always be focussed on the Atman (Paramatman).
Stone carvings and seals of Nandi bull were unearthed at Indus valley and Harappa.

In Egypt the Apis bull ( Nandi ) is the incarnation of the god Ptah ( Shiva ) , the creator of the universe and master of destiny.
Later the white historian made Apis ( Nandi bull ) the incarnation of Osiris, god of embalming and cemeteries, while Ptah was relegated to funerary characteristics and became associated with Osiris.
The river ‘Nile‘ bears the Sanskrit name (Neel) indicating her blue waters.
Lord Shiva’s son Lord Kartik who was a great warrior learnt how to to fight from Nandi.

MYSTERY OF STONEHENGE SOLVED VADAKAYIL
The worship of the Apis bull ( Nandi ) was continued by the Greeks and after them by the Romans, and lasted until almost 500 A.D.
Above: Alexander the great performed a sacrifice to Apis ( Nandi ) before he set out for war with the Persians.
Neolithic bull-horned stone altars have been found in Cyprus. The Canaanite (and later Carthaginian) deity Moloch IS Nandi the bull. In Greek mythology, Taurus the bull was identified with Zeus.
Nehemiah 9:18"even when they made an idol shaped like a calf and said, 'This is your god who brought you out of Egypt!
Above is the Biblical episode wherein an idol of the Golden Bull is made by Aaron and worshipped by the Hebrews in the wilderness of Sinai (Exodus)—which got Moses so much pissed off that he broke his stone tablets.
The Golden Calf (Exodus 32:1-32:45)
After the Israelites had crossed the Red Sea they journeyed to Mount Sinai, it was here that God gave Moses the 10 Commandments and the plans for his dwelling place, the tabernacle. While Moses was at the top of Mount Sinai, the people of Israel were at the bottom of the mountain and they made a golden calf to worship. Moses had been gone for several days and we can only imagine how Moses felt when he came down the mountain after just having received the laws of God, and the fact that God had forbidden graven images.
Exodus 32:19-24 - And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt [it] in the fire, and ground [it] to powder, and strawed [it] upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink [of it].
And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them? And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they [are set] on mischief. For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for [as for] this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break [it] off. So they gave [it] me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
When Moses went up into Biblical Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments (Exodus 24:12-18), he left the Israelites for forty days and forty nights. The Israelites have calculated the 40 days by mornings and not by evenings and thus came to a wrong return date of Moses. When they saw that Moses did not return in time they demanded that Aaron make them "Gods" to go before them (Exodus 32:1).
Aaron gathered up the Israelites' golden earrings, constructed a "molten calf" and "they" that demanded "gods" declared: "These [be] thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt." (Exodus 32:4) The plurality of gods depicted or honoured on the ear-rings became a united image of a calf, fashioned by Aaron with a "graving tool", a plurality in unity.[2]
Aaron built an altar before the calf and proclaimed the next day to be a feast to the LORD.
So they rose up early the next day and "offered burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play." (Exodus 32:6) God told Moses what the Israelites were up to back in camp, that they had turned aside quickly out of the way which God commanded them and he was going to destroy them and start a new people from Moses. Moses argued and pleaded that they should be spared (Exodus 32:11-14), and God "repented of the evil which He said He would do unto His people."
Moses went down from the mountain, but upon seeing the calf, he became angry and threw down the two Tablets of Stone, breaking them. Moses burnt the golden calf in a fire, ground it to powder, scattered it on water, and forced the Israelites to drink it. Aaron admitted collecting the gold, and throwing it into the fire along with cutting wood, and said it came out as a calf.
Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said: 'Whoso is on the LORD's side, let him come unto me.' And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. And he said unto them: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.'
And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. (Exodus 32:26-28).
