Matsyendranāth

Matsyendranath

Historical and textual study of early Kaula transmission through Matsyendranāth and related lineages.

Matsyendranāth occupies a pivotal position in the early transmission of Kaula teachings, situated at the intersection of multiple Tantric and yogic lineages. This project focuses on the study of texts, manuscripts, and historical materials associated with his name, alongside the examination of lineage traditions. By analysing these sources critically, the research seeks to clarify the role of Matsyendranāth in the formation, transmission, and early development of Kaula systems.
