The Gorakhnath Enlightenment: The Path to Om

by Jayraj Salgaokar

The Gorakhnath Enlightenment seeks to explore the teachings and philosophy of Gorakhnath, which form the backbone of yoga and the quest for immortality. While yoga is accessible to all, the path to becoming a true yogi is known only to a few. An esoteric practice, it requires years of learning, dedication, willpower and the thirst for a connection with the universal consciousness. This mystic science owes everything to two esoteric cults the Siddhas and the Buddhas, to Hatha Yoga and Buddhist Tantra. The philosophies, paths and deities of these two cults are intimately connected. A blend of these two paths can escalate an individual s consciousness and help one realise one s true potential. There are striking differences and similarities between these two cults, bound together by the heterogeneous spiritual thread of Gorakhnath, who devoted himself to the prolific knowledge of yoga and emerged as the greatest yogi ever.

History w meaning

I chose to give this rating, just shy of perfection, for the enormous amount of work that was out into the creation of this book. It is a read of will, not of want. It's dry. It's educational. Siddhis should be granted for the completion of this book! No person can deny the dedication it took to complile and produce this history and ideological labor of love.

Really well put together. Very educational. Only down fall is at times it can get dry.

Would’ve liked more information about the Nath Sampradaya and the Navnaths within the realm of Sanatana Dharma, instead of digressing into Buddhism repeatedly.
The author here is more of a compiler than the former.
Expected more from this work. A tad disappointed in this regard. Also, it is offensive when the author refers to Hinduism as a cult.
