Gorakhnath (also known as Goraksanath . early 11th century) was a Hindu yogi , saint who was the influential founder of the Nath Hindu monastic movement in India and Nepal .He is considered one of the two notable disciples of Matsyendranath . His followers are found in India, at the place known as Garbhagiri, which is in Ahmednagar in the state of Maharashtra . These followers are called yogis , Gorakhnathi , Darshani or Kanphata . He was one of nine saints also known as Navnath and is widely popular in Maharashtra, India and dumgaon, Uttarakhand (where there worshipers do difficult tapasya in himalayas for a month sometimes 6 months or more). Hagiographies describe him as more than a human teacher and someone outside the laws of time who appeared on earth in different ages.Historians state Gorakhnath lived sometime during the first half of the 2nd millennium CE, but they disagree in which century. Estimates based on archaeology and text range from Briggs' 15th- to 12th-century [7] to Grierson's estimate of the 14th-century. Gorakhnath is considered a Maha-yogi (or great yogi) in the Hindu tradition.He did not emphasise a specific metaphysical theory or a particular Truth, but emphasised that the search for Truth and the spiritual life is a valuable and normal goal of man.Gorakhnath championed Yoga , spiritual discipline and an ethical life of self-determination as a means to reaching samadhi and one's own spiritual truths. Gorakhnath, his ideas and yogis have been highly popular in rural India, with monasteries and temples dedicated to him found in many states of India, particularly in the eponymous city of Gorakhpur .

Vivekachudamani is a Sanskrit text written by the Indian philosopher Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century. The title translates to "Crest-Jewel of Discrimination" and the text deals with the Vedantic philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, which asserts that the individual self (jivatman) and the ultimate reality (Brahman) are ultimately identical. The text consists of 580 verses and is written in the form of a dialogue between a teacher and a student. The teacher explains the nature of the ultimate reality, the path to realizing it, and the obstacles that one may face along the way. The text also emphasizes the importance of renunciation and spiritual practice in attaining liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Vivekachudamani is considered one of Shankaracharya's most important works and has been widely studied and commented upon by scholars of Indian philosophy. It is considered a foundational text in the Vedantic tradition and has been highly influential in shaping Hindu thought and practice.
