 | | Gorakhnath is the traditional author of the first treatise on Hatha Yoga, now lost, and is called the founder of Hatha Yoga. |
 | | The Goraksa-sataka, Hundred Verses of Goraksa (Goraksanatha is a Sanskrit form of Gorakhnath), is a basic Hatha Yoga text and describes the six 'limbs' of yoga: asana, postures, pranayama, control of the breath, pratyahara, sense withdrawal, dharana, concentration, dhyana, meditation, and samadhi, cosmic consciousness. |
 | | Gorakhnath disguised himself as a dancing girl and rescued Matsyendranath from his enchantment through the words of his songs. |
