Oh, well. Chalk up another failed experiment. Hope you have fun with your history books. As you know, a Guru such as Shri Gurudev Mahendranath was has the Guru's prerogative to change naming conventions. As a Nath Guru, whatever he established is a true Nath lineage. Call the sub-sect he created what you want, it is a valid continuation of the Nath tradition. You never could cooperatate and work with others to build community, so it is no surprise that all you can do is criticize and attempt to invalidate others. It says nmore about you than about anyone else. Have fun with the new org you are too chicken to take charge of! It’s amazing that you think it worthwhile to question your own source of initiation.

He was the only hope of finding any corroboration of legitimacy for the Adi nath name. I have searched for years in India and in the literature for any mention of Adinath meaning a separate panth among the nath panths. I have found nothing. Once again the name Adinath has been used to mean Lord Shiva's Naths meaning all the panths, all the naths. I have edited Nath Fundamentals in view of new info. Dharam is not a "sub-sect" . It is one of the 12 great nath panths recognised by all. I am glad you are, once again speaking for the INO. ..not neo-naths eh?? Although there are western Naths with proper initiation, guru, marks, signs, passwords and followers of the muriata code etc the members of INO are not among them. INO and ANS are like Elvis impersonators or tribute bands..you wish to honour the master but have no more direct link than wishing you had been there.."Mahendranath Sampradaya"...excuse me while I wipe the tears of laughter from my eyes. Thanks for the laughs, lal Aditya,

He's been writing a Wikipedia article on Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath. Turns out that he is simply using Adinath Sampradaya as a synonym for Nath Sampradaya. HHe is not of the Adi Nath sub-sect but rather of the Dharam Nath sub-sect of the Gorakhnath Sampradaya. Thought you'd like to know. Dadaji was still the final guru of Adi Nath sect. And speaking for the INO, we are not neo-Naths but Naths of the Mahendranath Sampradaya... Actually, I’ve been in communication with Hamsacharya Dan of the HYS.
