NANDI
Nandi is the ever-faithful devotee of Paramashiva, seated forever before Him in meditation — the eternal example of the soul's complete surrender to the Divine.
Nandi is the ever-faithful servant and ardent devotee of Paramashiva. As a bull — the most untameable of beings — only one as supreme as Paramashiva could inspire in him such absolute devotion and surrender.
In every Shaivite temple, Nandi is always enshrined directly before Paramashiva, facing Him, absorbed in unbroken meditation on the Divine. He is the eternal example of what the soul is meant to be — completely turned toward Paramashiva, undistracted, unwavering, and immersed in the bliss of devotion.
