Hindu Gods and their vehicles

Mar 30, 2026

Did you know Hindu Gods don't ride ordinary vehicles? They choose companions that teach us how to live better lives 

Ganesha - The mouse (Mooshak)

  • Even though He is big and strong, Ganesha rides a tiny mouse
  • Meaning: Like the mouse, our mind can be restless - but with wisdom, it can be guided in the right direction

Hanuman - The wind (Vayu)

  • Hanuman doesn't ride on animal. He moved with the wind - swift and powerful
  • Meaning: The mind may wander, but with faith, it can move with strength and purpose

Shiva - The Bull (Nandi)

  • Lord Shiva rides Nandi, the strong and devoted bull who wait patiently at His feet
  • Meaning: True strength is quiet - rooted in patience, discipline and inner stillness

Krishna - The peacock (Sometimes Garuda)

  • Krishna is often shown with the peacock feather. He is also connected with Garuda, the mighty celestial being
  • Meaning: Like Krishna, bring beauty and kindness into everything you do
