Peace of mind

Gorak Nath was a yogi and he lived in 6th century.(Another account of statement says he lived in 11th century ) The name Gorakhnath derives from the medieval saint, Gorakshanath a famous yogi who travelled widely all over  India..

It is said that Lord Siva told to all Sivaganas that ”I am giving all my yogic power to GorakNathsha  to teach & establish  the knowledge of yoga and spread the magnificent exercise to the mankind in the word…and whoever practice yoga they will have a nice health and long life …
The Sanskrit word Siva is an adjective meaning is "pure “and also  "The Auspicious One", The Lord is described as Maha yogi, who lives an ascetic life on Mount Kailash, as immersed  in deep meditation…

Goraksh Nath  means a person who has great power to control  his indriyas (senses) and has complete control of the five senses Kamam(desire)  krodhm (enimity),Kopam (anger), lobham (greed) and moham (worldly attachment).
Saint Gorakhnath, does not entertain to participate anything like meetings or formal assembly, as of representatives or delegates,
Goramath  who was the establisher of saint of 'Nath Sampradayam'.and who was an ‘Atta Yoga” specialist
The Nath tradition underwent its greatest expansion during the time of Gorakshanath. He produced a number of writings and even today is considered the greatest of the Naths. His very first writing book is called Laya yoga. Then he has written several books including the Goraksha Samhita, Goraksha Gita, Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati, Yoga Martanada, Yoga Siddhanta Paddhati, Yoga-Bija, Yoga Chintamani. He is believed to be the founder of the Nath Sampradaya and  It is said Guru Gorakshnath had Nava Naths and 84 Siddhas (accomplished beings) as disciples, human forms created by his own yogic powers to spread his message of yoga and meditation to the world.
 There is a district named after 'Gorakshnath' called Gorakhpur this place takes its name and fame from renowned, ascetic, A famous shrine 'Gorakhnath' was built in his honor on the same spot where he practiced austerities
Gorakhpur was a part of the famous kingdom of Koshal, one of sixteen mahajanpadas
Ancient Gorakhpur, in addition to modern, comprised the districts of KUSHINAGAR,
Today's Gorakhnath Math, centered at [Gorakhpur] in eastern Uttar Pradesh  is a religious institution that runs two Gorakhnath temples, one in Nepal in the district of Gorkha and the other a little south of Gorakhpur. The temple at Gorakhpur is said to contain the samadhi shrine (tomb) and prayer seat  of Gorakshanath. These temples constitute the center most of the saivates to do their religious activity in this region.
 Plenty of devotees crowed to these temples on the occasion of Makara Sankranti, and they offer kicchadi to the Gorakhnath swamy. At that day The King of Nepal visits any one of these temple during the festival day.
The Gorakhnath Math has a significant following in eastern Uttar Pradesh and also among wider circles across the Nath groups. It is widely believed that those who chant ShriGorakhnath Chalisa 12 times they are blessed with a miracle jyoti.Or following hymn also gives the same

DHARM RAKSHTI RAKSHTAH. SHREE GORAKHNATHO VIJAYTET RAMS. YATO DHARMASTATO JAYAH.
Really it is good to practicing yoga every day.  But we have to choose well trained and experienced teacher is a must.
