If you are a Shiv Bhakt, you must have practiced saying your prayers in the ears of Nandi Ji. Bhagwan Nandi Ji is one of the dearests and closest ones to Bhagwan Shiva. Outside every Shiv temple, we can see Nandi Ji patiently waiting for his Aradhya. The word Nandi comes from a 
Tamil rooted word Nandhu which means to grow, to flourish, or to appear, symbolizing the appearing of Nandi Ji or other white bulls. The Sanskrit word Nandi means joy, happiness, and satisfaction, which are the properties of divine Shiv-Nandi. Every Shiv temple showcases
Nandi Ji looking towards the entrance of the main shrine. Nandi Ji is a symbol of eternal patience and waiting. In Indian culture waiting is considered one of the greatest virtues. The one who knows how to simply sit and wait can achieve anything on a spiritual level and can
naturally meditate. Nandi Ji does not expect Shiv Ji to come tomorrow, he is just simply waiting without having expectations of his Aradhya to appear in front of him. He can wait forever. This quality of Nandi Ji is the true essence of respect. Before entering a Shiv temple,
if you just sit without expecting anything for yourself then only you can truly devote your prayers to the supreme Bhagwaan. People have misunderstood the true meaning of meditation. They think that meditation is an activity. However, it is just a simple quality you need to adapt
It is the willingness to listen to god rather than trying to talk to him. This is the quality of Nandi Ji, he sits alert, not sleepy, but listens to everything that is told to him. This is true meditation.
