Views of some Scholars[edit]

This section is almost entirely Original Research and personal interpretation. It should probably be removed, but I'm leaving it there for a while so that any subject matter experts may take a look first. --Latebird 16:14, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just for clarity's sake, the article no longer looks like Original Research. --Bhuto (Talk | Contribs) 08:16, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 21 May 2017[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Soft moved - This has been treated as an expired technical request since no other editor commented. A new RM can be started immediately to overturn this close if necessary. (non-admin closure) Yashovardhan (talk) 08:39, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Gorakshanath → Gorakhnath – My issue is with this particular page titled 'Gorakshanath' which should actually be named, 'Gorakhnath'. If you read the rest of the page, you'll see that it is about an individual named Gorakhnath, and not Gorakshanath. Understandably, this is a sinister political shenanigan that is an attempt to impose the right-wing ideology of go-raksha (cow protection) down our throats. Please change the name at the earliest, if you can. It is a serious issue. Prateekpaul7 (talk) 13:26, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding DOB of Guru Ghorakhnath Ji[edit]

Raja Bharthari was a disciple of Guru Ghorakhnath Ji. He left his kingdom Ujjain ( currently in M.P. State India ) and crowned his younger brother as king of Ujjain. He joined Nath samprada whose religious head was Guru Ghorakhnath. Their group of Naths visited shahtalai ( in Himachal Pradesh India) and tried their best efforts pressurise Baba Balak Nath to join their group and accept the religious supremacy of Guru Ghorakhnath Ji, but failed.

All these are interconnected. So dates of their births or their survival period should be close to one another.

But Wikipedia shows very large gap in between their existence. Rajesh jaswal2000 (talk) 06:56, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
