Here I’m naming a well-known place in Northern India that is influenced by Gorakanathar. The famous Gorakhpur in UP and Gorakhnath Math – to which current UP CM (@myogiadityanath ji) belongs to, +

There’s a district in Nepal named ‘Gorkha’, which also is believed to derive it’s name from Gorakshnath. There is a cave with his paduka (footwear) and an idol of him there.

As other Siddhars, Gorakkar also contributed in Siddha medicine, Alchemy, Ascetics. Apart from that he also wrote texts on Hath Yoga,
It’s believed that Agasthya Siddhar gave Gorakanathar the duty to safeguard the secrets of Alchemy. Thus, even today, people pursuing Alchemy is advised to pray to Gorakanathar Siddhar in order +

சொல்லாதே யொருவருக்கும் தொசந் தோசம்
முறையாக விதையறிந்து நடந்தா யானால்

There’s so much to talk about Gorakkar Siddhar, however I’ve only included tidbit of information. Hope you enjoyed reading about Gorakanathar or Gorakshnath.

I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x
The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x
Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x
The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x
It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x
As someone\u2019s who\u2019s read the book, this review strikes me as tremendously unfair. It mostly faults Adler for not writing the book the reviewer wishes he had! https://t.co/pqpt5Ziivj
