Pranam to Guru Goraknath

Goraksanath (or Goraknath) is said to be an incarnation of Shiva. He is one of the nine immortal Naths, who incarnates to revitalize the science of Yoga on this plane. Yoga as a transcendental science is practiced on many planes of existence and its effects will affect all levels of your being. Yoga is the path back to Unity. It purifies body and mind and lets the light within the being shine like a million Suns.

Hatha Yoga Pradipika I.4“Yogi Matsyendranath knew the knowledge of hatha yoga. He gave it to Gorakhnath and others, and by their grace the author (Swatmarama) learned it.

"One comes to Me only by My grace. Kamalo, nobody can go beyond Maya, She eats everybody, but Guru Gorakh has eaten Her. Control your asana, your mind and your body, only then will you cross over the ocean of this world. -Babaji Gorakhvani

Sivasyabhyantare saktih sakterabhyantare sivah antaram naiva pasyami candra candrikayorival
In Siva there is Sakti, is the latter in the former; I do not find a difference between them.

Prasaram bhasate saktih samkocam bhasate sivah tayoh samyogakari yah sa bhaved yogayogirat
The expansion appears as Sakti, contraction as Siva.  One, who unites the two becomes the king of the Yogins in Yoga. -Siddha-siddhanta-paddhati

“Shri Mahendraji says: 

‘Kamalo, stay in the shelter of Gorakh,

do not be restless in your mind. 

Forget knowledge and science, 

Keep only the knowledge of the Name of the Lord.' 

Sri Gorakh says: 

I have shown you many paths before, 

Now I'll show you the path of devotion.

First bring love in your heart 

And call Me from that space of love.

My form is love, divine nectar. 

My colorful place is love, 

My asana is love.

My supreme place is love.

Rishis and munis received the divine nectar only through love. 

-Babaji Gorakhvani

"Do not try to churn the ocean,
Kamalo, churn your mind instead.
There is nothing outside,
everything is in the mind." -Babaji Gorakhvani

"Look attentively at Mahakal's wheel and his strange ways.
He does not care about beauty, about old age, young age or childhood.
He just turns his wheel and crushes everybody.
But whoever repeats the Name of the Lord cannot be crushed." -Babaji Gorakhvani
