Harinārāyaṇa (हरिनारायण) refers to one of the “nine Nārāyaṇas” (Navanārāyaṇa) and is supposed to have incarnated as Bhartṛnātha: one of the “nine saints” (Navnath).—The nine Siddhas are famous saints, of exceptional purity of life, who have attained to a semi-divine existence through the practice of Yoga. [...] These nine teachers [e.g., Harinārāyaṇa] are considered representative of great teachers in this tradition or Parampara tradition—a succession of Teachers (Gurus) and Disciples (Shishyasa) in Indian-origin religions such as Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism and Buddhism.
