Navnath

Navnath

Navnath is a collective noun used to address nine great saints who spread Navnath Sampradaya, initiated by Lord Dattatreya, in the world. These nine saints are nine superhuman beings who with their honesty, selflessness, austerity, devotion for their teacher, and the mantra power defeated the deities like Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, Hanuman, Virbhadra, Indra (King of heaven), Goddess Chamunda, Vetal (King of ghosts), Ashtabhairava, and others according to the book “Navnath Bhaktisar.” They had a weapon called “Vatakarshan Astra” which was invincible even for Gods.

Names of Navnath (Nine Saints):

1. Matsyendranath or Macchchendranath.
2. Gorakhnath or Gorakshnath.
3. Jalandernath or Jan Peer.
4. Kanifnath.
5. Gahininath, also known as Gaibi Peer.
6. Nagesh Nath.
7. Charpatnath.
8. Bhartarinath.
9. Revananath.

Apart from those, there are also Minnath and Dharmanath who are children of Macchchendranath.

They are supposed to be the reincarnation of Bhagwan Narayan in Kaliyuga. Lord Krishna directed them to reincarnate in Kaliyuga. As per his direction, “Kavi Narayan” reincarnated into Macchchendranath, “Hari Narayan” into Gorakshnath, “Antariksha Narayan” into Jalandernath, “Prabuddha Narayan” into Kanifnath, “Pippalayan Narayan” into Charpatnath, “Avirhotra Narayan” into Nageshnath, “Drumila Narayan” into Bhartarinath, “Chamas Narayan” into Revannath, and “Karbhajan Narayan” into Gahininath.

The main aim of Navnath’s life was to create Shabar Mantras for the welfare of the masses. These nine saints are believed to be immortal. After becoming inactive, their 84 disciples preached the Nath Sampradaya and to date, it is considered to be a very powerful and popular Sampradaya all around the world. Navnaths are most popular and worshipped in the Maharashtra state of India.

Macchchendranath and Gorakshnath are revered in Buddhism also and are supposed to be Mahasiddhas.

They used to say “Alakh Niranjan” frequently.

After Lord Navnath, their 84 disciples propagated Nath Sampradaya all over the world. Some of the names of those disciples are given below:

Raghavsidhda, Balsidhda, Gokatsidhda, Jabusidhda, Naimityik, Sarendrak, Huksha, Dwarbhairav, Ransidhda, Jogi, Sharangi, Nijananda, Nainniranjan, Yadu, Gaiwandkshudra, Kastsidhda, Uresh, Suresh, Dhuresh, Kuhar, Keshmardan, Sudhdakapur, Bhatendra, Katabhrava, Sabar, Dakshendra, Anirva, Aproksha, Kamukarnav, Sahansidhda, Dakshalayan, Devsidhda, Pakshendra, Saksh, Nirnayanava, Hardantan, Bohman, Hukshe, Krishnapalayan, Hema, Kshetranta, Ratnagar, Vinaybhaskar, Dattadhan, Pavanbhargava, Suksharnava, Yathartha, Kavitsharva, Vadham, Prokshit, Sharuk, Waluk, Sharabh, Sahan, Prokshitshairbha, Kokil, Kasmitwach, Sanhati, Lobh, Bhratrak, Chirankalvrunda, Narayan, Kalika, Sabraji, Sulaksha, Luksha, Moksharnava, Samartha, Dwar, Bhardraksha.

Navnath Bhakitsar:

This holy book was written by Gorakshanath aka Gorakhnath and was later translated into Marathi by Malu Narhari Kavi in 1741. It contains 40 chapters and 7600 ovyas (stanzas), which if read in a particular manner are believed to wipe out all your sorrows, black magic, and ghostly things from your house.

Navnath Bhaktisar Adhyay 40 is the most important chapter. It is the essence of all the books. For those who read at least the 40th chapter every day, Navnath themselves stays in that house and protects the reader and his family from all the disasters. Only males are allowed to read this book. Females may hear the stories read by others.

  • Hello all,

    Navnath Bhaktisar should read in the evening (from sunset).
    One should not eat non veg food during parayan.
    Sprinkle GoMutra (cow urine) at parayan place.
    Take bath and then only read.
    Do not drink alcohol during parayan.
    If you do sankalp (reason to do parayan) then it will help more.
    Once you start reading for particular day then pls do it in one sitting.
    Most important – There are some people who say Navnath (any nath) is coming into their body (sanchar) but it is fake. No nath can come into human body. Pls do not waste your time and money for this.
    Do not try to use Shabar mantra without guidance of Guru. it may be harmful.
    Lit Guggul dhoop while reading.
    Davana attar can be used for navnath photo.
    Use tripundri of bhasma on fore head, shoulders, hands and chest etc.
    on 9th day offer food to 9 children (udit wada must be made for naivadya).

  • I m a female n want to read navnath pothi in my family my grandmother use to read it my uncle n father also read it . wat shud i do to read it? Coz its said females r not allowed to read it.Plz suggest me

    • As far as I know, females are not allowed to read Navnath Bhaktisar but you can listen to it when somebody is reading. One more thing you can do is that you can scan the book and read it on the computer.

    • Hi Rajashree Patil, you can contact on this number 9373409788 if you want to know how a female can read Navnath Bhaktisar.

      • I also want to know as a female pandit has told me read adhyay 28 for marriage but i see and hear diff views from diff people abt females shud read or not… pls help i tried calling the No… but it was busy will try again

    • Hi Rajashree even I am female. This is my second time I am reading this poti. And my experience is very good. Now to even my panditji told me to read it. He said just don’t take sankalp. In my house tulsi plant used to die one day I prayed to navnath that please let my tulsi live when I plant it. I was thinking king of buying one but forgot. One morning I just open the window and was surprised. I saw 3 small tulsi plants in my pot without planting it. Don’t you think this is God’s blessing. I don’t think women should be stopped from reading it. Ultimately we women only pray for our family.

  • Om Shree Chaitanya Navanathay Namaha…

    I have great faith in Navanth and also experienced the power of Bhaktisar and Shabari Kavach…

    I request to read Navanath Bhaktisar at least once in a year and Shabari Kavach (at least once) with Navnath Sidhdhmantra (11 times) everyday..

  • I had read this holy book when I was in 8th std. Though the language is bit difficult, you can understand it as the meaning of difficult words are given on the same page at the bottom. Again now I’m reading this book again, and have understood that you don’t only need to read the words but book has some deeper meaning in itself, as if we are going to pay attention to the stories only; the main intention of Shri. Macchindranaji, i.e., of selflessness gets ignored. Everybody who reads this book with little analytical & knowledge oriented perspective will have the same feeling.

    Thank you.

    • Alak Niranjan..!!!
