The Nath Tradition is a spiritual and philosophical movement that originated in India, primarily associated with the teachings of the Nath Sampradaya. It emphasizes the importance of personal experience and direct realization of the divine through practices like meditation and yoga. The tradition is known for its focus on the mastery of the body and mind, often incorporating elements of Hatha Yoga. Central to the Nath Tradition are the teachings of various saints, including Gorakhnath and Machhindranath. These figures are revered for their contributions to spiritual practices and their emphasis on the unity of the individual soul with the universal consciousness. The tradition has influenced various other spiritual paths and continues to be practiced today.
