The importance and reason of saying Ardas in the ear of Nandi Lord Shankar’s beloved gan and his vehicle

Worshiping Lord Shiva in the month of Sawan fulfills every wish. As innocent as Shiva is, he is also mysterious. Their form, their symbols and their ganas are all Shivamay.

Nandi Bhairav, Veerabhadra, Manibhadra, Chandis, Shringi, Bhrigiriti, Shail, Gokarna, Ghantakarna, Jai and Vijay are also one of the main Ganas of Lord Shiva. It is believed that Nandi was the author of the ancient books Dharmashastra, Arthashastra and Mokshashastra.How Nandi became Lord of Shiva After severe penance of Shiva, sage Shilad found Nandi in the form of a son. Shilad Rishi imparted the knowledge of entire Vedas to his son Nandi. One day two divine sages named Mitra and Varuna came to Shilad Rishi’s ashram. Nandi served those sages well with the permission of his father. When the sage started leaving, he blessed Rishi Shilad with a long life and a happy life but not Nandi.

Then Shilad Rishi asked him why did he not bless Nandi? On this the sages said that Nandi is short-lived. Hearing this, Shilad Rishi got worried. Knowing his father’s concern, Nandi asked what is the matter, father. Then the father said that the sage has said about your short life, that is why I am worried. Hearing this, Nandi started laughing and said that if you have found me by the grace of Lord Shiva, then you will also protect my age there, why do you worry unnecessarily.
