Gorakhnath, also called Gorakshanatha, (flourished 11th century?, India), Hindu master yogi who is commonly regarded as the founder of the Kanphata yogis, an order of ascetics that stresses the physical and spiritual disciplines of Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga is a school of Indian philosophy that uses mastery of the body as the means to spiritual perfection.
The details of his life are obscured by the numerous legends that have grown up around his alleged miraculous powers. Gorakhnath either was born in the Punjab or spent a good part of his lifetime there, traveling widely. He was said to have met with such other religious teachers as Kabir, an Indian mystic and poet, and Nanak, the first Guru and founder of Sikhism; in fact, however, it is chronologically impossible for him to have met the latter. He was also thought to have popularized the practice of Yoga throughout India. Although Gorakhnath is traditionally regarded as the disciple of Matsyendranatha—understood by Natha yogis as the first human guru in their teaching succession—Matsyendranatha probably preceded Gorakhnath by at least three centuries. Nevertheless, the reported connection between the two points to an important transition that Gorakhnath instituted in the esoteric rituals and techniques of tantric practice, diverting its erotic, mystical heritage in the direction of austere Hatha Yoga, even while tantra somewhat eroticized Hatha Yoga. Tantric worship involving the use of sexual fluids is taught in several Sanskrit works attributed to Gorakhnath under the title Gorakh Samhita (“Collections of Gorakh” [13th century?]), alongside alchemy and Hatha Yoga. Vernacular poetry attributed to Gorakhnath, anthologized under the title Gorakh Bani (“Gorakh’s Utterances”), emphasizes Hatha Yoga.
