Interesting Question!
Isn’t it?
Don’t be so frustrated…. about the history of Gorakh.
I am going to tell you straight away.
Unfortunately, not even historians have yet found the history of Gorakh.
It is said that an Indian Saint from medieval period Sri Gorakhnath had extensively influence on people of all castes, sects, and classes etc. He made his influence on people by his Yogic power.
Locally it is believed that Gorakh is derived from word “Gurkh”. Actually Balochi word “Gurkh” is falsification of Persian word “Gurg” which means a wolf. On the subject to this, it is said that Gorakh Hill and its surroundings were abode of wolves. So, first it was called Gurkh but as time went in ticking, afterwards its pronunciation was changed to Gorakh.
On the one hand lot of speculations, assumptions and proclamations about the history of Gorakh but on the other some local intellectuals and historians say that-----------
Taj Sahrae, a renowned researcher and historian writes in his book “Lake Manchhar” that “Gorakh peak derives its name from one of the twenty four Tirathkarans of Jainism, Sri or Guru Gorakh Nath. According to Hindu mythology he is popularly known “Being an incarnation of Shiva and historically he is a yogi, who founded shiviate cult in 11th century A.D”. Further he writes that “before partition Hindu yogis generally used to visit this peak. On a way to it there is yet another place of worship called Tirath kumb. There was a small temple on the top of hill standing over that kumb (spring). Hindus generally visited the temple and kumb and performed their religious rituals”.
