"Oh foolish woman, I gave you the boon of a son, and you threw him in the dung." These were the words of the great yogi, the great Guru Machchhindranath. Do you know that one of India's greatest yogis, Guru Gorakhnath, was not born in an ordinary way? It is said that he was not born from a mother's womb, but from a miraculous ash. If I tell you that a child born from a handful of ashes later became the great yogi of the whole world, would you believe it? This amazing story begins with a poor but extremely sad woman. [Music] A long time ago, a woman lived in a small village. She had everything in her life. Only one thing was missing: a child. She prayed to God every day, lit lamps in temples [Music], observed fasts, but her lap remained empty. One day, by chance [Music], the great Siddha yogi Machchhindranath arrived in that village. A crowd of villagers rushed to see him. That same sad woman also fell at his feet, weeping. "Gurudev, I just want one child." Machchhindranath heard her plight and took out a little miraculous ash from his bag and gave it to her. [Music] He said, "Accept this with faith. By the grace of Mahadev, your lap will be filled." [Music] But destiny had planned something else. Some women of the village scared that woman. "Who knows [Music] if this is some tantric ash? Do not eat it." Due to fear, that woman threw the ash in a dung heap. Time passed. Years [Music] passed. And then one day, when Machchhindranath returned to the same village, he asked the woman, [Music] "How is your son?" The woman panicked and told the truth. Then Machchhindranath, angered, said, [Music] "What disaster have you done? I gave you the boon of a son, and you rejected him." Then he went straight to that dung heap and called out loudly, "Alakh Niranjan, come out, Gorakh." [Music] And then, the sight that the people present there witnessed stunned everyone. From within that dung heap, a [Music] radiant child emerged. There was an amazing brilliance in his eyes. Machchhindranath said, "This [Music] is no ordinary child. He is a great yogi born by the grace of Shiva himself." That same child later became famous throughout the world as Guru Gorakhnath. Through yoga, penance, and spiritual [Music] power, he showed thousands of people the path to self-realization. Even today, his name is taken with reverence as the greatest guru of the Nath sect. It is said that one who has the grace of Mahadev and the Guru cannot be stopped by any power in the world. If you also believe that even the impossible becomes possible with the grace of a Guru, then according to the tradition of Nath yogis, definitely write "Aadesh Alakh Niranjan" in the comments.
