INO Glossary: Chakra-Raja

The Sanskrit word Chakra-Raja may be translated as Lord or King of the circle. This is intended to indicate that the individual identified as Chakra-Raja is in a position within their circle, of supreme authority.

Inside the International Nath Order, each zonule holder is considered the Chakra-Raja of their individual zonule. In the case of some public events, authority is often deferred to a visiting Guru or Nath of higher rank and standing within the Kula.
