Gorakhnath and the Kanphata Yogis c7.79

c7.79

Both groups worship Bhāiroṁ and other Hindu gods, attend the Hindu festivals, follow Macchendranāth and Gorakhnāth and use the trident and the liṅga. They keep images of deceased ancestors. They rank below Kunbis. Only low, unclean castes will accept food cooked by Rāvals. They accept *kacca* food from Kunbis, eat flesh, except beef and pork, and drink spirits. They are mendicants, but some are cultivators, weavers and tailors.
