Question

@ The nathpanthi preachers were also called siddhas
How would you justify this?​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Nathpanthis, Siddhacharas, and Yogis preached renunciation (self-sacrifice), and taught that the path to salvation was through meditation on the formless Ultimate Reality and the oneness of the human soul with it.
• They preached intense training of the mind and body through yogasanas, breathing excercises, and meditation.
• These groups were popular among the 'low' castes and their criticism for the common Vedic religion created a base for a new religion to become a common power in the north.
