Nandi Devar
Nandi
Devar is one of the foremost of the 18 yoga siddhas. He has been directly
initiated by Lord Shiva himself and some of his contributions include medicine,
kaya kalpa & Alchemy. Some of his eminent disciples are Thirumoolar,
Patanjali, Dakshinamoorthy, Romarishi & Sattamuni.
There
was a sage named Shilada who underwent severe penance to have a boon — a child
with immortality. Lord Indra pleased of the austerities of Shilada appeared in
front of him to offer a boon. After hearing the request of Shilada and his
desire to have an immortal child, Lord Indra suggested he pray to Lord Shiva:
nobody else could provide such a boon. Sage Shilada continued his penance for
1,000 years. He was totally immovable for many years, so the termites settled
on his body and slowly started to build up their nest. Finally, his whole body
was covered up by them. The insects started to eat his flesh and imbibed his
blood. At last, only bones remained.
Lord
Shiva appeared in front of him and provided the boon for the child. Moreover,
Lord Shiva provided Sage Shilada his old form with a single touch. Sage Shilada
performed Yagna and a child appeared from the sacrificial fire. His body was
clad in armour made out of diamonds. The celestial dancers and singers
performed on this auspicious occasion and the deities showered flowers on the
child. The boy was named ’Nandi’ — who brings joy. Shilada brought the child
home. Immediately the boy lost his divine appearance to an ordinary child. The
child completely forgot all about his birth. Sage Shilada was worried about the
sudden change. He devoted his time for Nandi's upbringing his education etc. By
the age of seven, the boy was well versed in Veda and all sacred texts.
One
day the deities Mitra and Varuna visited Sage Shilada. At the first sight of
the boy, they commented: Though the boy had all auspicious signs, he would have
a very short life. He would not live after the age of eight. Sage Shilada was
mortified at this remark. Nandi could not bear his father's sorrow; he began to
pray to Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva appeared before him and blessed him. Lord Shiva
adorned the boy with a necklace and made him immortal. Lord Shiva blessed the
child and declared that he would be worshiped along with Him and become his
vahana (vehicle). Immediately the boy got all the divine powers and transformed
into half bull-half human. He and Shilada went to Lord Shiva's abode to live.
According
to one incident, Nandi took the form of a whale. At Mount Kailash when Lord
Shiva was explaining the Vedas to his beloved wife, Parvati lost her
concentration and Lord Shiva cursed her to be born as a fisher woman. Later
Lord Shiva repents for the mistake. Years later when Parvati reached her
marriageable age, Nandi took the form of a whale and started to trouble the
people. Later Parvati's father told that anyone who killed the whale will marry
his daughter. Later Lord Shiva took the form of a fisherman and killed the
whale. He married Parvati and returned to Mount Kailash happily.
In
one puranic story, it is stated that once Siva and Parvathi were playing a game
of dice. For any game there has to be an umpire, who has to declare who is the
winner. Siva and Parvathi agreed to have Nandi (the divine bull) as the umpire.
Nandi is a favorite of Siva, as he is Siva's vehicle. Although Siva lost the
game, Nandi declared him the winner. It is stated that Parvathi was indignant
over Nandi's partiality for Siva and cursed him that he should die from an
incurable disease. Thereupon Nandi fell at the feet of Parvathi and pleaded for
forgiveness. "Mother forgive me. Should I not show at least this amount of
gratitude to one who is my master? Is it not humiliating for me to declare that
my master has lost the game? To uphold his honor I no doubt uttered a lie. But
am I to be punished with such severity for so small an offence?" Nandi
prayed for forgiveness in this manner. Parvathi forgave Nandi and taught him
the means to atone for his lapse. She told him. "The Chaturdasi day in the
month of Bhadrapada is the day when my son's birthday is celebrated. On that
day you have to offer to my son what pleases you most (green grass)". This
means that one atones for one's sins when one offers to the Lord what is most
pleasing and enjoyable to him. For Nandi the most enjoyable and relishing food
is green grass. As directed by Parvathi Nandi worshipped Ganapathi by offering
green grass. Nandi was then relieved of his dreaded disease. His health
improved and by the grace of Parvathi he was redeemed.
When
the positive forces, the devas, and the negative forces, the asuras, joined
together on a rare occasion to churn the ocean with a mountain to obtain the
nectar of immortality they utilized Vasuki, the serpent, as the rope. The devas
pulled from one end and the asuras from the other. Lots of precious herbs and
gems were produced during the Churning and one of them was a poison (halāhala)
which became human karma. This "poison" was so dangerous that none of
the devas or asuras wanted to go near it. It was extremely sticky and coming
into contact with this poison, i.e., human karma, would drag the divinity down
to the realms of human suffering and ego. As everyone else ran away, Lord Siva,
followed by Nandi, came forward to help as he was the only one who could counteract
this deadly poison. Siva took the poison into his hand and drank it, the
descent of the poison was in turn stopped at His throat, by His divine consort.
Siva is therefore also known as Nīlakaṇṭha (the blue-throated one) and Viṣakaṇṭha (the poison-throated
one). Nandi saw some of the poison spill out of Siva's mouth and immediately
drank if off the ground. 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".
