About

The International Nath Order was founded on 1 January 1978 by Shri Gurudev Mahendranath. It is a householder path drawn from the Adinath and Uttara Kaula streams. It is not a Hindu or Buddhist sect.

The INO is for people who want, and will work for:

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

A Nath or Devi of the INO is not bound by the rules of Asian sadhus. They may work, marry, and live an ordinary Western life. There is no creed that must be required as belief. One key word is THINK. Peace, freedom, and happiness remain the measure.

In 1989 Mahendranath appointed Sri Kapilnath Imperator Magus Mundi.
