The secret of Nandi's immortality | How did he become Lord Shiva's vehicle? | He is a part of Shiva!

99% of people consider Nandi to be Lord Shiva's vehicle... But very few know how Nandi became Lord Shiva's vehicle. The story begins with the great Shiva devotee, Sage Shilad, who performed severe penance to Lord Shiva to obtain a child. Shilad was blessed with a son who was not ordinary but an incarnation of Lord Shiva himself, and that divine child was named Nandi. But the story doesn't end there... When two sages, after examining Nandi's horoscope, predicted that Nandi would only live 8 years, his father, Shilad, was devastated. But Nandi was not afraid. Nandi loved Mahadev, not death. The rigorous penance performed in Nandivan, Nandi's complete dedication, and the emotional moment when Lord Shiva himself appeared, were the moments when death was defeated and devotion triumphed. This story teaches us that true devotion can defeat all three—time, death, and fear. 🙏 Request to Shiv devotee If you are a devotee of Mahadev then Do like the video 👍 Subscribe to the channel 🔔 And write in comment – 🕉️ Har Har Mahadev #mahakavya #nandi #lordshiva #mahadev #harharmahadev #shivbhakti #NandiKatha #ShivaStory #SanatanDharm #HinduMythology #indianmythology #ShivPuran #NandiMaharaj #ShivaVan
