There are numerous traditions of ascetics in India such as siddhas, nathas, yogis and during udasis Guru Nanak have a dialogue with them and the essence of this discourse is disclosed in his writings. Japu’s 28th to 31st pauri are mainly addressed to Gorakhpanthis or kanphata yogis as their symbols are described. According to him true Yoga is not about leaving home, wearing special clothes or performing difficult physical postures. Real yoga is inward controlling the mind, overcoming ego and remembering the Divine through Naam. For him true yogi is one who instead of escaping from Gristha lives in society and remains spiritually balanced. In japuji Guru Nanak explained the archetypal working behind the symbols of Yoga.
