Maha Yogi Gorakhnath

Pranams at the lotus feet of Gorakhnath Maharaj!

Chapter -19

Gorakhnathji with his preceptor Mathsyendhranath and with his disciples conducted their spiritual journey through Prayag Raj, they arrived in a wood where they could hear the sounds of Panchakshara Mantra was reverberating in the whole wood, and soon they found a boy who was reciting the Manthra requested Mathsyendhranathji to accept him as his disciple.  He was accepted as a disciple to the lineage of Nath and he learned knowledge of scriptures from Gorakhnathji.  He joined with the saints; they have decided to return to Prayagraj after twelve years.

Lord Indra decided to conduct Somayaga, he discussed with Devaguru Brihaspati and revealed his desire to include the powerful saints of  Nath traditions to attain an abundance of the meritorious reward of the performance of Yaga.  Indra was advised by Rishi Brihaspati to appeal to Maharishi Narada about the method to invite the Nath saints to participate in the Somayaga.  Narada described that Yogi Mathsyendhranath is a prominent disciple of Lord Dhaththathreya, therefore UparikshaVasu is appropriate to invite Mathsyendhranath if he accepts the invitation of Vasu, all the Nathpankthi saints would take part in the Somayaga, and thus he can accomplish the Yaga fruitfully.   Lord Indra went to meet Upariksha Vasu.
