Omkarinath refers to one of the “nine saints” (Navnath) identified with Viṣṇu, according to Kitts in his Census Berar, Report, 1881 (p. 59).—While the word Natha is a synonym for Hindu Yogi, in this connection it refers to the nine great or deified and immortal teachers of the sect. They now live far back in the holy Himalayas. [...] These nine teachers [e.g., Omkarinath] 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.
