NANDI GAN

NANDI GAN
Nandi was His most faithful attendant. He had the body of a human but the head of a bull. To make matters more intricate, the human part was built like a bull; the finest and most steely physique, and the bull head could think in the wisest manner possible.
It was like magic. But then, that’s what the Denizens of the jungle were. Magical creatures.
And 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 dream world, I proclaim Shiva as the Supreme Master of the Universe, and whose chosen Gana I am.”
“ You are one tough chap aren’t you?” smiled Shiva
“ Yes Master, I am a toughian” said Nandi, flexing his chest .
Shiva laughed at the Vocabulary of the beast, he thought it was most unbeastly and human. And he did not miss the fact that Nandi followed into an immediate expansion of whatever Shiva said for him.
