About the International Nath Order

About the International Nath Order

INO Logo

The International Nath Order was founded in 1978 by Shri Gurudev Mahendranath. The INO is for people who want and will work for:

  • Spiritual Development toward Awakening.
  • The development of Occult attainment (Siddhi).
  • A new, better, and more enlightened Social Order based on our Pagan past.

Nath or Devi of the International Nath Order is not bound by the rules of Asian sadhus and may work for gainful employment, marry and live the normal way of Western patterns. While there is a wealth of wisdom and magic within the INO, we have no rules, prohibitions or dogma which must be blindly accepted by its initiates. One key word of the International Nath Order is THINK. We look to a new awareness and patterns of thinking which are free from the superstitions and sterile formalities of the past.

INO Lineage

The INO is a modern, English-language expression of the ancient Kaula-Nath tradition, blending initiations from many lands into a mind-spirit transmission. Rooted neither in Hinduism nor Buddhism, our lineage passes wisdom through direct experience.
