India history and geography

Source: Wisdom Library: Teachers, Saints and Sages

Udai or Udainatha (lit. “Lord of the people”) refers to one of the “nine saints” (Navnath) identified with Parvati, according to Rai Bahadur Hira Lal in his Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces of India and G. W. Briggs in his Gorakhnath and the Kanphata Yogis.—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., Udai-natha or Prajnatha] 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.
