Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Dear devi bhaktas, The great saint of Natha Sect apart from Shri Minanatha is Shri Gorakhnath who falls in the 2nd category of Nava (9) Natha Order. Like, his guru Minanatha, there are several legends around the birth of Gorakhnatha. As per *Yogi Sampradaya Vishkruti*, Gorakhnatha migrated from dakshina desa called *Chandragiri*. As per *Goraksha Sahasranama Stotra*, he is said to have born in dakshina desa called *BaDav* which can be seen from the following lines: asti yAmyAm dishi kashchid desa baDava samjnakah tatrAjani mahabuddhirmahamantra prasAdatah // Now, whether these 2 gorakhnathas are same or different, it cannot be concluded. Also, some scholars are of the view that the author of Maharthamanjari ie., Maheshwaranandantha is same as the Gorakhnatha. Whatever may be his identity, Baba Gorakhnath had authored several works on Yoga Shashtra as per the Natha Siddhanta in sanskrit and prakrit bhasha. Given below is the list of his sanskrit works: The works of Gorakhnatha - the 2nd Guru among Nava (9) Nathas: 1. Amanaska 2. Amaraughashasanam 3. Avadhuta Gita 4. Goraksha Kalpa 5. Goraksha Kaumudi 6. Goraksha Gita 7. Goraksha Chikitsa 8. Goraksha Kavacha 9. Goraksha Paddhati 10. Goraksha Shatak 11. Goraksha Shastra 12. Goraksha Samhita 13. Chaturashityasana 14.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Namaste Seeing The Name of MahaYogi GorakhNatha gives Immense joy and cheer for his Great works's on our Spiritual culture. The Ideal of MahaYogi Goraksha Nath more popularly known as Yogi Gorakhnath and the Nath School of thought is said to be described in one Supreme word " SAMARASYA " . The One Word " SAMARASYA " includes the process of unification between purusha and prakriti or Siva and Shakti. Attaining of this Ideal is said to be the unity of Param Siva where Siva and shakti are one and inseparable MahaShakti according to Shaktas and " Samarasya " according to Natha Sampradaya. The Sampradaya of GuruPaduka the Highest Expression is Samarasya again. it is said Swaprakasa sivamurtih rekika tadvimarsa tanurekika tayoh . samarasya vapurishyate para paduka parasivatmane guroh . In the Initial Stage the padukas symbolise siva and shakti and the Higher Paduka is the Union or Integration in the form of Samarasya of the two in the Supreme unity also known as Poorna Diksha's in some Dakshina Amneya School's. The works of MahaYogi Gorakhnath as mentioned by our Brother Sriram are many in number and many other works were left in doubt without attributing them to the Mahayogi for they were written in some regional langauges and so on. Among these works Siddha Sidhanta Paddhati occupies a Special Position as a Authority for many other books latter to follow in this school that is Siddha yogi Sampradaya. Goraksha Siddhanta Sangraha is another important work which gives the Philosophical and religious views of the MahaYogi. Gorakhnath and his Direct followers and supposed to be expert teachers in Yogic Methods and were very powerful preachers of Siva-Shaktism. His works were universal in approach and preached the Importance and the greatness of the Vidya's of Bharata Varsha. They were Non-Controversial with other school's or religion. The Ideal of Samarasya by the Mahayogi is the perfect adjournment and harmony and unification in our entire life and experience. We have to realise " SAMARASYA " in all our walks of life. Whatever may be the diversities and differences in which we may happen to be we have to experiance and enjoy samarasya (unity) which is Sachidananda. Taking such Mahayogis as inspirations we have to acquire the power to maintain balance and tranquiltity (Samarasya can be the art of composure) in our hearts and spread love to the whole world and playing our part in relation to all our differences joyfully with the samarasya in our mind that we all belong to the One universal soul (Jagadamba) which we all collectivly call as Yaa Devi Sarva Bhutesu Maatru rupena samstita namaste namaste namaste namo namah (My Pranams to the forthcoming Navaratri's) Regards Diwakar (the above lines are dedicated to the Authors of the books written on The MahaYogi from which I was deeply Motivated.)
