GORAKHNATH

She pointed: "There, on the rubbish heap."

Matsyendranath went to where the rubbish was, and prayed for a while.

Then he called: "Son, come here!"

From out of the heap came a boy of twelve years.

Seeing him, the lady fell at the feet of the Yogi and begged for forgiveness.

Matsyendranath took the boy away with him.

This boy was Gorakhnath.

"Go’ is Sanskrit means earth. ‘Rakh’ means to protect. Since the earth protected the boy, he was called Gorakhnath.

Gorakhnath became Matsyendranath’s disciple.
