Mahayogi Gorakhnath, the Pravartak of the Nathpanth, has a revered place in the saint tradition of India. In the spiritual tradition of India, the credit of spreading the knowledge of KriyaYoga to the people goes to the Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath and Nath Yogis. Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath , the pravartak of the Nathpanth, is considered to be an Yug-Pravartak saint. Mahayogi Gorakhnath, the forerunner of social change in India, gave a unique formula of health and worship to man along with the purification of human body-mind-brain and soul. The Nathpanth, promoted by Guru Shri Gorakhnath, is a guide to Nishkam Karmayoga, considering the service dedicated to the welfare of the people as a spiritual practice.

Shri Gorakhnath Temple is the place of penance of Mahayogi Shri Gorakhnath Ji. It is a popular belief that the Mahant of Shri Gorakhnath Temple and Shri Gorakshapeeth is the representative of Guru Shri Gorakhnath Ji.

The establishment of Maharana Pratap Shiksha Parishad in the year 1932 was the beginning of this ideological establishment. Brahmaleen Mahant Digvijainath Ji Maharaj, who created educational and training institutions from primary to higher education, paved the way for the establishment of Gorakhpur University, Gorakhpur.
