How Powerful Is Nandi Bull

To know about Nandi Maharaj’s power, we have to dive into Puranas like Shiv Mahapuran. So according to Shiv Mahapuran.

A “Diggaj warrior” known to have strength of 10,000 elephants. For example, Bhima of the Pandavas from Mahabharat was classified as a “Diggaj warrior” because Bhima had the strength of 10,000 elephants. Now try to understand how powerful is Nandi bull of Mahadev.

Airavat (Indra’s elephant vehicle) have strength of 10,000 Diggaj Warriors.

Paundrak, the bull of Yamraj, possesses the strength of 10,000 Airavatas.

And the one who has the strength of 10,000 PAUNDRAKS is our beloved Nandi Maharaj (most loyal devotee, God Of Gods, Shiva himself).

If we go by this logic, Nandi Maharaj holds the power of 100 trillion elephants—an extraordinary measure of divine strength that’s hard to even imagine.

That’s a lot of strength and power. Its also written in Shiv Puran that when Nandi Maharaj carries Lord Shiva on his back and goes here and there, the earth shakes violently from Nandi Maharaj’s footsteps.

The proof of Nandi Maharaj’s immense strength can also be found in Valmiki Ramayan. According to Valmiki Ramayan, once Ravan went to meet Lord Shiva at Kailash.

At that time, Lord Shiva was deep in Samadhi, and he instructed Nandi Maharaj to ensure no one disturbed him during his meditation.

So when Ravan went to Kailash for meeting Lord Shiva, Nandi Maharaj stopped him. Ravan, full of ego and pride, insulted Nandi Maharaj by calling him a stupid bull and demanded that he move out of his way. But Nandi Maharaj did not listened.

Nandi Maharaj said that his Lord Bholenath is in Samadhi and the Lord ordered to not let any disturbance happen when he is in Samadhi. But Ravan, full of ego and arrogance as always, didn’t even try to reason with Nandi Maharaj and once again mocked him by calling him a stupid bull.

Ravan kept throwing insults at Nandi Maharaj and even warned him to get out of the way, or he’d chop off his head and offer it to Lord Shiva as a sacrifice. But Nandi Maharaj did not moved from Ravan’s way no matter what.

Ravan lost his temper and, in a fit of rage, kicked Nandi Maharaj with all his strength. The force of that single blow made the entire Kailash Mountain tremble. Huge avalanches came crashing down, and the earth split open beneath the impact.

But nothing happened to nandi maharaj and he did not even moved an inch from ravan’s powerful kick.

At The End – Ravana Shocked!

Ravan was completely stunned. How could a mere creature survive his powerful kick, one strong enough to shake the mountain and crack the earth from the sheer impact? Ravan scoffed and told Nandi Maharaj he was lucky that his divine sword, Chandra Hasa, wasn’t with him, otherwise, he would’ve sliced off his head right then and there. With that, Ravan turned around and stormed back to Lanka.

Such is the immense power of our beloved Nandi Maharaj—so great that even the mighty Ravana had to turn back and retreat to Lanka. Nandi Maharaj remained standing even after getting hit by Ravan’s full power kick and did not moved even an inch.
