Nandikeswara Ashtotharam

Nandikeswara  Ashtotharam

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(Nandi in the form of a bull   is the Vahana of Lord Shiva. He was son of a saint called Silada.  Saint Silada wanted an immortal son and did Thapas addressed to Lord Shiva for one thousand years. The Lord granted his wish and  wanted him to do a Yaga as a prelude it.When he ploughed the land from that land came a boy with three eyes and resembling Lord Shiva. His body was covered by an an armour made of diamonds  ,However the astrologers told that Nandi would have short life.Nandi then did thapas aimed at Shiva who appeared before him   and gave him necklace , wearing which Nandi became immortal.Lord Shiva  made him his Vahana and told that he would be  always worshipped along with Shiva.  He could take a form of a bull while carrying Shiva and take a man –bull form at other times. He is considered as the chief of Lord Shiva’s army and the head Guru of all Sidhas. In several places  huge statues of Nandi as a bull has been made and are worshipped. Devotees of Shiva believe that , if their wants are told in Nandi’s ears,  He would tell it to Lord Shiva and their wishes would be fulfilled. He is of pure white colour.
