CHORANGI NATH

The patpanthi story of the Siddh Caurangī-nāth, who also known as Pūran Bhagat and Pūran Mal, or simply Pūran, since long time was the favorite theme of the folklore songs singed by the wondering minstrels all over India, especially in its Northern states from Punjab to Bengal. The tale of the young prince who was falsely accused by his zealous step-mother, and who was thrown into well after his hands and legs were cut away, was the theme of the numerous ballads and the folk-theater plays, touching the hearts of the people all over India. 

In the legends about him, he is traditionally connected with the Guru Gorakh Nath (guru bhai), Matsyendra Nath (his guru) and another legendary Natha personage Raja Rasalu, who was his younger brother born from the same step mother which unfairly has accused him. There existing so many variations of the legend depicting the life story of the Siddh Chorangi Nath that sometimes it becomes difficult to decide, which of them is more resembles his actual biography. Along with the numerous versions of his life story in Hindi, there exists one more account about his life, which has appeared amongst the stories of the Eighty Four Great Siddhas written from the point of vie of the Buddhist Vajrayana Tradition. The original Sanscrit manuscript of the book known as Caturaśīti-siddha-pravṛitti has been lost, and only Tibetan translation of the text has survived. At the present moment, it is the oldest written account of his life, which is nearly one millennium old.

ADESH ADESH!!!


He have got his name Chorangi-nath in accordance with the Nath tradition of India, and Chorangipa in accordance with Tibetan tradition of Mahasiddhas because his limds were cut away. Cīrā literally means an incision, a cut or a wound, and aṅg means a limb, therefore Cīrā-aṅgi means ‘whose limbs were cut away.’ Similarly he called Pūran Bhagat, Pūran Mal or simply Pūran becouse he got his body restored to its previous condition. Pūrā means entire, complete or whole, therefore Pūran can be translated as ‘whose body was restored in its previous conditon and become entire as before.’ ?
He became great yogi and realised mahasiddha in both traditions as indian as well as Tibetan. Although Tibetan version of legend about him found in CSP says that he had no disciples, Nātha sect presently has one pant presumably founded by him that is Pagal panthi
