He is mentioned with reference to Adi Shankaracharya who lived in the eighth century whereas some believe it to be anytime from 8th century to several centuries later. There are innumerable legends about Guru Gorakshnath, though there are no records of when he was born and where he hails from. This Nath Sampradaya spread, through the centuries, all over the world. Guru Gorakshnath Ji had Nav Naths and 84 Siddhas (accomplished beings) as disciples, human forms created by his own yogic powers to spread his message of yoga and meditation to the world. He believed that God existed in oneself, the five elements of jal (water), vayu (air), akash (sky), agni (fire) and prithivi (earth), by which the body is made, become a part of the cosmos through meditation and proper conduct. Goraksh Nath literally means a person who has mastered his indriyas (senses) and has complete control over the five vikritis or negative characteristics in human nature - that is kaam (sexuality), krodh (temper), mad (ego), lobh (greed) and moh (worldly attachment).īy doing so, wants and desires get stabilized, leading to peace and contentment within. Gorakshanath is the founder of the Nath tradition. He takes incarnation in the form of Goraksha nath to teach & expand the knowledge of yoga whenever people forget about it or whenever yogic beliefs and practices get distorted. Lord Shiva stated that it was his own yogic manifestation. It is said that seeing Guru Gorakshnath in samadhi, Mata Parvati asked Lord Shiva about the yogi. Different legends ascribe different stories about his incarnation and the period of his worldly existence, and they vary greatly. The legend states that Guru Gorakshnath, the eternal sage and traditionally associated with Hatha Yoga (one of the branches of Yogic practices), has been around for thousands of years watching the welfare of humanity. The Nath Sampradaya, among many others, reveres him as Shiva Goraksha. Saints, poets, yogis, scholars and historians of all ages have sung his praise. People having achieved elemental knowledge call him Mahayogi, Mahaguru, Aadi Nath, Siddha Yogiraj, Goraksha and so on.
There is no word that can describe guru Goraksh Nath and his charismatic exploits. Guru Goraksh Nath is the supreme manifestation of supreme divinity. Of all the Masters through the ages, there is one acknowledged Master who has been referred to in the ancient scriptures, in legends and mystic tales, in passing mention by many renowned masters and mentioned in the Puranas and other scriptures, he is known as Guru Goraksh nath.
