Sri Kapilnath I.M.M.
Imperator Magus Mundi of the International Nath Order
Sri Kapilnath was born in Washington, USA, in January 1958. He is a disciple of Shri Gurudev Mahendranath, from whom he received the Nath initiation name Kapilnath (“Skull Lord” or “Lord of Skulls”). In 1989, Shri Gurudev Mahendranath bestowed upon him the title of Imperator Magus Mundi and entrusted him with leadership of the International Nath Order.
He came into contact with Shri Gurudev Mahendranath in 1984 and was accepted as his disciple. After seven years of mentorship, he continued to guide the INO following Gurudev’s passing in 1991. The International Nath Order is an international non-sadhu initiatory stream of the ancient Nath tradition.
Sri Kapilnath currently lives in Costa Rica with his wife Rose Devi. He meditates and practices at Kailash Zonule and continues to contribute to the administration of the INO website and the life of the Order.
