Core Insight:
According to Osho, Gorakhnath’s birthplace and birth time are unknown because the Eastern spirit values purana (timeless truth) over history (time-bound facts). Masters are remembered for their inner realization, not their biographical details. Gorakh wandered widely, dissolving into each region’s life, so many communities lovingly claimed him and spun stories. What endures is his Buddhahood-like essence; dates and places were irrelevant and thus unrecorded.
