Chapter -20


One of the disciples asked Gorakhnathji “ Guruji,  I have a qualm in my mind, kindly clear it.  Are we human superior to all the creatures on the Earth?  Seeing the atrocities of the people on the Earth I feel the Supreme Lord had made a mistake by giving intellect to the human who had become a curse to all other living creatures.  Human beings are selfish, cruel, wicked, and ruthless; the whole world has become a field of their atrocities.  Humans have proved themselves that they are not deserved to be called human.  They are supplemented with pride, jealousy, cruelty, lust, desire, wickedness and ego which is difficult to witness in other creatures on the planet, a human can only be deceitful to his blood relations and parents.  Humans do not think twice to kill human, therefore he is not deserved to be addressed as human, he is a burden on the Earth, and he is a dishonest, selfish, and most intolerable creature on the planet. ” Gorakhnathji said “Son, this Kali era has possessed all the evilness, twice-born will sell their knowledge in order to fill their stomach, they will become selfish, dull, and dishonest.  In fact, this is the appropriate time they have to use their intellect to elevate their soul; even the Supreme Lord must have shedding tears on the wickedness of his creatures, just like parents who shed tears of shame and guilt on immoral children.”    The disciple said “ Guruji, supreme Lord has given intellect to human,  he is engaging in various malpractice and vicious acts, he exhibits himself  as a thief and murderer, he performs shameless deeds, it is rare to find pious people in this Kali era, there are a very few could be called honest and righteous.  If he had supreme consciousness, he would have followed disciplines, right conduct, spiritual and religious rites, Varna and Ashrama Dharma, strict celibacy and he would have control over body and mind which could help him win over senses and death as well, then he would be deserved to be called honorable and intellectual.”  Gorakhnathji said, “ Son, it is the beginning of the Kali era, much more atrocities are waiting to pop up,  whatever unpleasant deeds you are witnessing are nothing,  Son, a human should act  dreadful like demons otherwise the hell  will remain empty.”  Disciple asked, “ Gurudev, You mean to say humans are going to  turn more vicious in the coming ages?”  Gorakhnathji describes the evil effects of Kali era on human, “They keep accumulating sins and  perform all the immoral acts, they  harass women, they sell sisters and mothers, they kill their parents mercilessly, they perform every wicked deeds with swollen pride and arrogance, they act shamelessly, they kill their sisters and take a dip in Ganga, they eat the meat of cow, they follow lies and produce false witnesses to protect them, they disgrace their mothers, they steal the possessions of others without any guilt, they do not follow any Dharmic, Varna or Ashrama rites, they  not even follow the basic manners, they disgrace the worship places and destroy its sanctity.”

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.

Gorakhnathji and Chauranginath arrived in the place where he has kept the mortal coil of his preceptor Mathsyendhranathji.  Gorakhnath met the female cowherd, he asked about the mortal coil of his preceptor; she informed that the Queen of the Kingdom came to know the truth of Mathsyendhranathji.  She was in a fury ordered her men to severe the mortal coil of Mathsyendhranathji and feed it on animals in the forest, and she is not aware of the body of his preceptor.  Gorakhnathji was in a blazing rage screamed at her “You have committed severe sin.” Gorakhnathji was in a vehemence conducted the search for the body parts of Mathsyendhranathji in the forest, but they did not find any body parts.  They have decided to go to Mount Kailash to get resolved this problem.  On the way, they met Lord Surya and informed all about Mathsyendhranathji.  Lord Surya said the body of Mathsyendhranathji is with the Ganas of Lord Shiva.  Lord Surya invoked Veerabadhra and ordered to return the mortal coil of Mathsyendhranath to Gorakhnathji who is a great Yogi.  But Veerabadhra was not willing to go against the instruction of Lord Chandra.  Lord Surya said then you have to fight against these two great Yogis, Lord Surya said “ Veerabadhra, if you want to fight with these great Yogis, better you should go to Prithvi Lok, not in the sacred mountain Kailash, because it will not withstand the battle between you two.”  Chauranginath and Veerabadhra invoked weapons with their Manthrasiddhi and entered in a vicious battle, it resulted in the Shiva Ganas fight between them, Gorakhnathji brought dreadful demons to life, seeing them Lord Indra got horrified.  Finally Lord Shiva arrived to put an end to the battle between Yogis and Veerabadhra, ultimately Yogi Mathsyendhranath’s life was restored in his body.

Chapter -17


Gorakhnathji was traveling through the forest all tired of hunger, there was nothing eat or drink, he arrived near the agricultural field, where he could see a child preparing to consume his afternoon meal.  Gorakhnathji requested him to give something to eat, the child reverentially offered part of his meal to Gorakhnathji who was so pleased with the humility of the child, he instructed child to ask for a boon, the child said “Baba, you do not have anything to offer, you have to go for begging alms, how can you give me what I desired, therefore please do not offer any boons. You can continue the journey.”  Gorakhnathji offered a boon to the child and left.



Gorakhnathji on his way met Chauranginath who was undergoing penance in a cave under the instruction of Mathsyendhranathji.   He taught lessons on Asthra and Shasthra to Chauranginath and both of them arrived in his Kingdom.  Gorakhnathji said he should exhibit his skills to his parents, they should regret their treacherous act towards their son, he followed the instruction of his preceptor.   Chauranginath threw sacred ashes with Mantra Japa King’s on men who were safeguarding the fortress, immediately they had fallen unconscious.   It created trepidations among King and his men, they conducted a rigorous search to find the reason for the unforeseen incidents taken  place in his Kingdom, soon they found it was the curse of an illustrious Yogi.   King guessed that it must be Mathsyendhranathji and Gorakhnath, he decided to surrender at the feet of holy men, otherwise, these   Yogis would burn the whole Kingdom into ashes.  Soon he arrived looking for Yogi Mathsyendhranath and Gorakhnath,  King was followed with his men into the dense woods.  Gorakhnathji instructed Chauranginath to once again exhibit his skill to his father, he threw some ashes reciting Manthras, the King’s were raised in the sky and fallen on the ground with a heavy thud.   King pleaded before Gorakhnath “ Why do you want to punish us? What did we do wrong?”  Goraknathnath said “ Maharaj, It was not punishment, it was the skill of your son,” King was shocked to see his son alive, Chauranginath prostrated before his father at the instruction of his preceptor.  Gorakhnathji said, “ It was the same son who was thrown out of the Kingdom, severed his hands and legs by you.” King begged for pardon to his son and embraced him.  Chauranginath said, “ I have no intention to return to your Kingdom, my step-mother ill-treated me and you have trusted her and imposed punishment upon me, I was always been true to my words, but you have trusted her,  and will  always follow the path of truth.”  King instructed his men to bring the wicked Queen before Gorakhnathji.  Chauranginath said, “ You can impose whatever punishment upon her in the palace itself, you need not bring her here.”  Gorakhnath said “Whatever destined to happen has happened several years before, now you cannot rewrite it, therefore get married once again and you will have virtuous offspring.  We are saints; we are not supposed to stay in a place for long.  We are leaving your Kingdom.”  Gorakhnath blessed the King and left with Chauranginath.
