The Blessing of Nandin: A Surprising Encounter with a Sacred Bull in India

As I was admiring the Shiva Bulls in all their magnificence, I couldn't help but notice one in particular - Nandin, the white bull who carried Lord Shiva, stood out from the rest. Nandin was not just any ordinary bull, but the embodiment of Dharma and justice. I was captivated by his regal demeanor and the bells and garlands of flowers that adorned him. As I took his picture, Nandin seemed to look me in the eye, as if he wanted me to remember him.

Two days later, I saw Nandin again, this time harnessed to a car. I took another photo and continued walking, when suddenly I felt a sharp blow to my face. Nandin had hit me with his garland of rings. I wiped the blood from my broken lips as a villager walked up to me and released another bull into the street, asking me something. I pointed to Nandin, and the villager called out his name in disbelief, falling at my feet.

Within moments, a crowd had gathered, and a boy translated into English that being hit by the bull of Shiva was a great blessing. I changed my paper handkerchiefs, stopped a rickshaw, and headed to the ashram. The driver suggested I go to the hospital, but I knew my wounds would heal quickly.

Once at the ashram, I washed my face and sat down at a stone table in the courtyard, where I began to write in my notebook. My nose was a bit broken, and my upper lip and left cheek were swollen, but under the holy mountain Arunachala, events are measured by the heart.

As I reflected on my encounter with Nandin, I realized that bulls and cows in India are gentle creatures. Nandin had likely hit me with his garland to rid himself of the flies, and in doing so, he had awakened me to the eternal life that exists beyond the physical realm.
