What is the Adi-Nath Sampradaya?
The Adi-Nath Sampradaya was a Sadhu sub-sect of the greater Nath tradition. Followers of this tradition were given Sannyas Diksha, thus renouncing householder life, and thereafter lived as naked Sadhus. Believing that Sadhus should live alone until they had attained the goal, they lived in caves, huts, ruined buildings, or empty houses, and always away from towns and villages.
