Guru–Shishya Parampara
In the Nath Tradition, sadhana is not self-taught. Mantras, disciplines and practices are received from a living Guru, practised under supervision, and passed on only when the seeker is prepared. गुरु–शिष्य परंपरा में साधना पुस्तकों से नहीं, गुरु से प्राप्त होती है।
This is why mantras and rituals described on this website are presented for understanding and reverence, not as instructions for independent practice.
