Nath

We are the first generation of western Naths. In life we often stick apart, here we can come together in virtual space to create our new world.

The tale of the Indian Naths stretches back a thousand years and more, a story full of saints, miracles, Kings and fools. In India today many Naths are either in jail, or worse, in politics. Mahendranath, the English saint and hermit, spent his life in India as a naked Nath. He sought and found many of the essential concepts that sustained the Naths through the millennia. He wrote tantras and poems and stories to convey what he had discovered to the western world. He was called Paramahamsa, the Great Swan, because he was able to extract the milk of pure intelligence and leave behind the water of cultural usage and local context. This site is dedicated to Mahendranath. It is also dedicated to that water in which the knowledge held by the Naths can flower again.

Sometimes twilight language uses an outright lie, an assertion […]
