Harper Collins 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.
