Navnath

October 21, 2023

The Navnath (Sanskrit: नवनाथ), also spelt as Navnatha in vernacular languages, are the nine saints, Masters or Naths on whom the Navnath Sampradaya, the lineage of the nine gurus, is based.[1] They are worshipped collectively as well as individually.[2]

Nine gurus Edit

 
Jalandharnath

Some members of the Nath Sampraday believe Rishi Dattatreya, an incarnation of the Hindu trinity Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva was its first teacher.[3][1][4] Other traditions hold that Matsyendranath received initiation directly from Shiva, also known as Adi Nath. In many modern Nath groups, worship of Gorakshanath and Shiva is primary. The nine teachers, collectively known as Navnaths, are considered representative of great teachers in this tradition or parampara.[4]

Several lists are known:

Nisargadatta Maharaj Edit

According to Maurice Frydman, the translator of Nisargadatta Maharaj's I Am That, "the most widely accepted list"[5][4] and Suamitra Mullarpattan is as follows:
