The impact of Guru Gorakshanath and Nath saints on the literature and society

Nath Panth and its promoter Guru Gorakshanath ji and other Nath Siddhas have a prominent place in the spiritual practices of Indian religion and culture. Gorakshanath ji gave practical form to the theoretical aspect of yoga-sadhana and brought it to the common man. Guru Gorakshanath ji was the foremost Mahayogi who influenced not only the whole of India, but the border countries with his yogic spirit and with his character, thinking and behavior to a great extent. The religious man accepts him as the only Shiva form. The life character of Gorakshanath ji, who inspires to live a true spiritual life, is obtained from ancient times through popular legends, stories, miracles, beliefs and his creations.

Vamachari tantric practice was in full swing at the time of the declining and perverted condition of Indian religious-seekers-sects. Panchamkars were being used openly. Occultism was at its peak. The rules of conduct were not being followed in the instrument sects. The most pure and instrumental elements of Vamachar-Panchamkar are being misused. In such critical times, Gorakshanath ji proclaimed the purity of spiritual practice, the power of restrained life, character superiority and ostentatious life for the salvation of Indian culture, religion, society and means, as evidenced by his Sanskrit and Hindi compositions. The entire credit for the re-establishment of the importance of ancient tantric sadhana-tradition and its gradual gradual development can be given only to Gorakshanath ji. It is clear from the statements like “Dhan Jeevan ki kare na aas, chit na rakhai kamini paas” that the fearless and ruthless pious mentality towards Kanchan and Kamini are the distinctive parts of their personality. In the matter of various types of siddhis, he was of the opinion that it is preferable to use siddhis for the benefit of all. There was equanimity towards everyone in the conscience of Gorakshanath ji. His teachings regarding ethics were more practical than the theoretical Ashtanga Yoga of Yoga. All the characteristics of his personality are universal characteristics of the universal character ideal. These good tendencies and ideals were being neglected everywhere and most at that time. In this context, the social utility and importance of the contribution of Gorakshanath ji and the moral ideal of Nathpanth cannot be denied. Some scholars of Hindi literature, referring to the works of Gorakshanath ji and Nathpanth, disregarded external worship, pilgrimage, caste, etc. The propagation of sadhna by considering cycles, rivers, zero country etc., words like sound-vindu, surti-nirti, have described the characteristics of teachings. But did not pay attention to the characteristic restraint and virtue of Gorakshanath ji and Nath Panth. It is clear from the contemplation and contemplation of the entire saint's literature that Gorakshanath ji not only took iron from his own sect but also from other sects regarding ethics and restraint. Only then can sense control and "Yahu mind, Yahu mind sew, Yahu mind a living entity of the five elements." Ye man lai jai unman rahi, three lok ki vaata kahai.” As it was possible to establish the personality of Gorakshanath ji in the form of Sarvantaryami Aat Anagat Vindu form and as an ideal of restraint and virtue.
