‘Nandi was fearless…he gored all the powerful asuras to death in a fierce and swift motion…’ He was ever obedient, he was brave and he was the most favoured of Shiva’s followers. Nandi, the great bull and gatekeeper of Shiva’s abode, carried the Three-Eyed One across the universe. Always at Shiva’s side, he danced the mystical tandava with him, fought great battles and even drank a deadly poison to prove his complete devotion to his lord. Read his amazing story. . .
