NANDI GANA

Photo: NANDI GANA

Nandi had been declared by Shiva as the chief Denizen, The Top Gana.
Nandi was his best friend, His loyal devotee, and also his vehicle for transport, all rolled in one.  He was Shiva’s ride, so to speak, but even when they were not journeying, Nandi would seat himself at the outer gates of Shiva’s chamber, He was the most formidable obstacle, though he thought of himself as a guard. He was never off duty. Once when Shiva joked with him about His snores that were louder than the roar of many creatures, Nandi had replied “ Even when I walk the streets of dreamworld,  I proclaim  Shiva as the supreme master of the Universe, and whose chosen Gana I am”
