Nandi... Lord Shiva`s
bull
Kamadhenu is the mother of all cows according to Hindu
mythology. Once, as she started giving birth to a lot of calves, the milk flooded
Shiva`s abode and disturbed his meditation. Furious as He was, Lord Shiva struck
the cows with a bolt of fire from his third eye. So, to calm him down, the gods
offered him Nandi, the son of Kasyapa and Kamadehnu. Nandi is believed to be
the protector of all animals.
