OTHER MEANINGS Gurunath is also a commonly used term when praising what is considered by devotees the ultimate source of compassion, love and truth - irrespective of sectarian divides whether they may be devotees of Shiva , the Lord of Transformation in the Hindu pantheon ( Shaivaite ) or of Vishnu , the Lord of Preservation and Sustenance in the Hindu pantheon ( Vaishnav ) or any other devotee ( Bhakta ) of a Hindu God or Goddess. The the first part of the refrain "Bolo Sri Sat Gurunath Maharaj ki" is chanted by the leader of the Kirtan or Bhajan , devotion chanting of religious scriptures or highly devotional compositions made by individuals respectively, or devotional discourse. Then the congregation then responds in unison "Jai!". This refrain, which is normally chanted at the end of a Bhajan or Kirtan , may be translated from Sanskrit as "'Say'/'Chant'/'Proclaim' (Bolo) the name of the Spiritual Mentor who is the essence of Truth (Sri Sat Guru) who is Lord (Nath) and King (Maharaj)...'Yes'!"

Personal correspondence, 1 Jan 1987 in '' The Open Door ''. International Nath Order, 2006. Shri Gurudev Mahendranath believed that the word ''Gurunath'' was not previously attested ''as a title'' in India, though it has been used as a proper name (see above). The usual title for a Guru is ''Gurudev'', which is typically applied to a Sannyasin or renunciate. In creating a sect of lay or householder Nath s, Shri Gurudev Mahendranath felt that he needed some title other than Gurudev to designate the Guru-status of his Sishya s or students when they had attained it. The use of the word ''Gurunath'' was his solution. Shri Gurudev Mahendranath bestowed this title on at least two members of his lineage, Shri Gurunath Lokanath (1986) and Shri Gurunath Kapilnath (1989).Mahendranath, Shri Gurudev.
