it was interesting to read about the basic tenets of Nath Sampradaya following Nath cult originally propounded by Guru Gorakhnath Ji. He has a temple named after him in Gorakhpur which was his seat of divinity.
The kanphatiyas have their ears pierced and then wear a ring just to prepare themselves for the rigours of yogic processes ahead.
Guru Gorakhnathji propunded Hath Yoga, which has several processes which if one follows truly one attains the divine bliss and becomes a Yogi. A wandering Yogi is untouched by any materialistic desires and has transcended any temporal limitations that ordinary people have. He attains Samrasya i.e. spiritual unity of all existences in the nature of the Supreme Spirit, he then transcends the difference between matter(jada) and spirit(chit), body(deha, pinda) and soul(atma, pada), finite(santa) and infinite(ananta), the temporary(anitya) and the Eternal(nitya), the changing(parinami) and the changeless(aparinami), plurality(vahutwa) and unity(ekatwa), duality(dwaita) and non-duality(adwaita).
Great thing it is to become a Yogi but a very-2 difficult one.
