Understanding Gorakhnath’s spiritual significance helps grasp this transformation. Tilla Jogian (Hill of Ascetics) in Pakistan’s Punjab stands as another centre linked to Guru Gorakhnath that flourished under Mughal emperor Akbar. He recounts folklore by revered Punjabi poet Waris Shah (1722–1798), which tells how Ranjha, despite being Muslim, became a disciple of Guru Gorakhnath after losing his beloved Heer. Guru Gorakhnath guided him to the spiritual path. According to the authors, wandering Gorakhnath jogis perform them to soulful sarangi melodies, enriching Sufi and Bhakti traditions.
