The holy month of Sawan has started.
Worship of Lord Shiva has special significance in this holy month. Worshiping
Lord Shiva in the month of Sawan fulfills every wish.
According to religious beliefs, worshiping
Lord Shiva in the month of Sawan brings vitality, wisdom, knowledge and wealth.
Along with this, by performing Jalabhishek of Lord Shiva on the first Monday of
Sawan, the seeker gets freedom from diseases, doshas and difficulties. But
along with the worship of Lord Shiva, the worship of Nandi Maharaj also has
special importance in this month.
Nandishwar in Shiva Puja
In this month, there is a tradition of
anointing and duly worshiping Lord Shiva. Nandishwar must also be worshiped in
Shiv Puja. Devotees say their wishes in the ear of the statue of Nandi. It is
believed that by doing this all the wishes of the devotees are fulfilled
quickly. It is believed that by telling one's wish to Nandi Maharaj in the holy
month of Sawan, the wish of the seeker gets fulfilled soon. This is because
most of the time Lord Shiva is engrossed in penance and Lord Nandi is in his
service. In such a situation, by telling your wish to Nandi ji, that thing
reaches Lord Shiva quickly.
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.
Nandi is the vehicle of Lord Shiva
Nandi is the most beloved of Lord Shiva.
Lord Shiva himself has said in Shiva Mahapurana that O Nandi, there is no
difference between you and me, the one who serves and worships you, gets the
result of worshiping me directly. It is said that Nandi bull is the vehicle of
Lord Shiva and without him Lord Shiva considers himself incomplete.
Nandi is the vehicle of Lord Shiva, the
snake around the neck, half-moon on the head and ashes on the body. But the
present Nandi is facing a lot of plight. The poor vagrants are forced to roam
the streets helplessly in the recent times. We keep seeing the plight of Nandi
in the streets around us. People also take care of mother cow because of milk
production, but Nandi is left outside as soon as he is born. Various kinds of
violence are done to them. Somewhere blood is oozing from their legs which were
broken due to the beating, and somewhere injured in the accident.
Come to Shree Krishnayan Desi Gaushala
and earn the virtue of serving Nandi
Today Nandi does not even get enough food.
This is the reason why when they wander here and there in search of food, they
find their food in piles of litter. Being distraught with hunger, they are
forced to eat whatever garbage they get. As a result, they ingest large amounts
of plastic, which damages their intestines. And then slowly they die.
Seeing this plight of Nandi, Shree
Krishnayan Desi Gaushala has taken a unique step. At present, more than twelve
hundred Nandis are being served by Shrikrishnayan Nandishala. They are being
given full food and service. Shrikrishnayan Nandishala has given special attention
in this matter very fast.
Our question is, is it enough to serve and
worship only the idol of Nandi? Should we have feelings only for idol Nandi? Isn't
it our duty to serve the Nandi who is around us while alive and in
consciousness?
So, just as you keep fast for the
blessings of Shiva in this month of Sawan, offer water to him, in the same way
serve Nandi, offer food to him and get the special blessings of Shiva, come to
Shrikrishnayan Nandishala and Uplift your life by serving Nandi according to devotion
and make your life auspicious.
Best wishes to all of you on the holy
Shravan Maas.
