Biography of Shri Gurudev Mahendranath
Shri Gurudev Mahendranath (1911–1991) founded the International Nath Order in 1978 to preserve and disseminate ancient wisdom discovered through his own experience and practice of Kaula-Nath teachings. An initiate of Indian tantric traditions, he synthesized Eastern and Western esoteric practices, advocating a non-sectarian approach to spiritual development and growth. The INO compiled The Scrolls of Mahendranath from his essays, poems, and instructions, including the Twilight Yoga Trilogy and Levogyrate Tantra, publishing editions in 1990 and 1991.
Mahendranath’s teachings continue to inspire a global community of practitioners through the International Nath Order’s efforts to preserve and share his experiential wisdom and knowledge. His emphasis on direct experience and personal attainment remains influential, guiding initiates and researchers in exploring initiatic practice. The INO’s ongoing publications and community outreach sustain this legacy for future generations.
