Explanation:

Nathpanthis are a Shaivism sub-tradition within Hinduism. A medieval era movement, it combined ideas from Shaivism, Buddhism and Yoga traditions in India. The Naths have been a confederation of devotees who consider Adinatha, or Shiva, as their first lord or guru.
A notable aspect of Nath tradition practice have been its refinements and use of Yoga, particularly Hatha Yoga, to transform one's body into a sahaja siddha state of awakened self’s identity with absolute reality.
They outrightly rejected the ritualism and social differences of the conventional religion.
