🌺What is the importance of saying desire in the ears of Nandi and why it is done?🌺
Nandi is the chief devotee of Bhagwan Shiv. Nandi, who must be enshrined in the form of a bull, in front of Mahadev in any Shiva temple. Shiva rides Nandi and Nandi is very dear to him.
Bhagwan Shiv mostly lives in penance, so with closed eyes he looks after the entire world. Whereas Nandi is a symbol of consciousness, which expresses the latent things with open eyes and open ears.
According to the Puranas, there should not be any disturbance in the penance of Mahadev; hence Nandi is stationed outside his tapasthala in Chaitanya state. Whatever devotees bring their problems to Mahadev, Nandi stops them there.
By no means the penance of Bhagwan Shiv be disrupted, therefore, the devotees speak in the ear of Nandi and when Shiva comes out of penance, Nandi tells him all the things of the devotees as they are.
Devotees also believe that Nandi does not discriminate in bringing his word to Shivji and that he is the Chief Gan of Shivji, therefore Shivji also accepts his words.
Har Har Mahadev 🙏

🌺The Ramayana has a philosophical, spiritual significance and a deep truth in it.🌺
The words ‘rays’ and ‘radiance’ come from the Sanskrit root word ‘ra’. ‘Ra’ means light, ‘Ma’ means within me, in my heart. So, Rama means the light within me.
That which is radiant in every particle of the being is Rama.
Rama was born to Dasharath and Kousalya. Dasharath means ‘Ten Chariots’. The ten chariots symbolize the five sense organs and five organs of action. Kousalya means ‘skill’.
The skillful rider of the ten chariots can give birth to Ram. When the ten are used skillfully, radiance is born within.
Rama was born in Ayodhya. Ayodhya means ‘a place where no war can happen’. When there is no conflict in our mind, then the radiance can dawn.
Panchmukhi Hanuman Ji is worshipped to overcome distress and negative energy, to overcome problems due to spirits, black magic, ancestors’ subtle bodies, suffering due to Shani Dev, etc.

Hanuman Ji entered pathala loka in search of Prabhu Ram and Lakshman. He found that life of Ahiraavan was hidden in the five lamps which were placed in five different directions. He could be killed only by extinguishing all five lamps at the same time.

पुराणों में यह कथा मिलती है कि शिलाद मुनि के ब्रह्मचारी हो जाने के कारण वंश समाप्त होता देख उनके पितरोंने अपनी चिंता उनसे व्यक्त की। शिलाद निरंतर योग तप आदि में व्यस्त रहने के कारण गृहस्थाश्रम नहीं अपनाना चाहते थे ।
अतःउन्होंने संतान की कामना से इंद्र देव को तप से प्रसन्न कर जन्म और मृत्यु से हीन पुत्र का वरदान मांगा।इंद्र ने इसमें असर्मथता प्रकट की तथा भगवान शिव को प्रसन्न करने के लिए कहा। तब शिलाद ने कठोर तपस्या कर शिवजी को प्रसन्न किया और उनके ही समान मृत्युहीन तथा दिव्य पुत्र की मांग की।
महादेव ने स्वयं शिलाद के पुत्ररूप में प्रकट होने का वरदान दिया।कुछ समय बाद भूमि जोतते हुए शिलाद को एक बालक मिला।शिलाद ने उसका नाम नंदी रखा।उसको बड़ा होते देख भगवान शिव ने मित्र व वरुण नाम के दो मुनि शिलाद के आश्रम में भेजे जिन्होंने नंदी को देखकर भविष्यवाणी की कि नंदी अल्पायु है।
