Re: The Bull
From the Bhakti List Archives

Hari Om. Om namo Venkatesaya. In addition to what has been written, it may
not be out of place to mention that the Lord of the Seven Hills is also
often compared to a bull. In dreams it seems (my mother used to tell me) He
appears as a black bull. One of the names for the hills is Vrishabhadri,
where an Asura got the grace of the Lord by penance and a fight with Him.
And Sri Nandeeswara is worshipped and venerated by followers of Sri Siva
also. So, whether a Vaishnavaite or Saivaite, a bull is sacred to one and all.
Om namo bhagavathe vasudevaya.
Swarna Venkateswara Swamy
