Guru Purnima 2026: UP CM Yogi Adityanath To Lead Special Worship At Gorakhnath Temple In Gorakhpur

Gorakhpur, July 27: Guru Purnima, the sacred festival that celebrates the Guru-disciple relationship in Sanatan philosophy and culture, holds special significance for Gorakshpeeth. Guru Purnima Mahotsav is the occasion when the Gorakshpeethadhishwar offers worship and obeisance to Shivavatar and Adiguru of the Nath sect, Mahayogi Gorakhnath, along with the revered Gurus of the Peeth who preceded him. Thereafter, he showers his disciples and the devotees of Gorakshpeeth with his blessings. Carrying forward this tradition of Gorakshpeeth, the present Gorakshpeethadhishwar and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will be seen in the dual roles of disciple and Guru on Guru Purnima (Wednesday, July 29).

The deep and inseparable bond between Guru Purnima and the Nath sect can be easily understood by witnessing the grand religious ceremonies organized at Gorakhnath Temple on this occasion. All Nath Yogis have upheld the dignity and prestige of this tradition with complete devotion and dedication. From Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath to Gorakshpeethadhishwar Yogi Adityanath, all have not only enriched this tradition but have also inspired people to honor the Guru.

Despite the numerous responsibilities of holding the important office of Chief Minister, Gorakshpeethadhishwar Yogi Adityanath makes it a point to visit Gorakhnath Temple every Guru Purnima to seek the blessings of his Guru and to bless his disciples. Continuing this tradition, he will once again remain present at the temple on Wednesday for the Guru Purnima worship.

Since the emergence of the Nath sect, the Guru-disciple tradition has remained inseparable from it and has continued uninterrupted. In the Nath tradition, there is no distinction between the Guru and God. The Guru is God, and God is the Guru. This is why Guru Purnima Mahotsav holds special significance for Gorakhnath Temple.
