If this voluminous book ever gets translated in English, people of the world will be able to recognise the basic stricture of Tantra. The Navanatha order is explained as the order of Nine (Nava) Nathas:
1. Swayambhunatha aka Padmasambhava, the originator recognised as reincarnation of Adinatha and is sometimes so called. See Matsyendra Samhita published by Asiatic Society, Kolkata. That Swayambhunatha is no other than Padmasambhava, originator of Vajrayana and Kaula system has been established into the scholastic world of India in very recent times and my research papers are the maiden researches on this historical assertation and has been accepted within the volume of Bibliotheica Sikkim Himalayica, 1996, published by Research Institute of Tibetology. Now other researchers are also coming up with the same finding. Moreover, after archaeological discovery of Somapuri Vihar of Bangladesh in recent times, this is getting historically established.
2. Matsyendranatha, aka Minapa, disciple of Swayambhunatha.
3. Jalandharanatha, aka Jalandharipa, disciple of Matsyendranatha.
4. Gorakshanatha, aka Gorakshapa, disciple of Matsyendranatha. Gorakshanatha, not being able to recognise the way of an Avadhuta, tried to rule over Matsyendranatha, and was later allowed only to be a Natha Guru of dakshinachara order under serious restraints. So, his tradition is known as Darshaninatha tradition, which means "Appearance of a Natha", but not a real Natha who is to be recognised as Aghoranatha, or "the Natha Beyond Illusion".
5. Kanhanatha, aka Kanhipa, disciple of Jalandharanatha.
6. Humkaranatha, disciple of Swayambhunatha.
7. Vajragarbhanatha, disciple of Swayambhunatha.
8. Trailokyanatha, aka Tilopa, Guru of Naropada, aka Naropa.
9. Shantinatha, aka Shantipa, disciple of Naropa and the contemporary chancellor of Nalanda University..... другой взгляд .
