Alakha Ādeśa

The Nath tradition's essential invocation — "Adesh" (from Adi-Eesh, Lord Shiva) is an act of remembering and bowing to Shiva, while "Alakh" signifies the unending or infinite, such as an unending flame; without incorporating it, neither Tantrokt Vidhaan nor standard Bhakti bears results.

Notes from our sources

Why is incorporating Alakh Adesh necessary for results in either Tantra or Bhakti?
Whether practicing Tantrokt Vidhaan or standard Bhakti, results will not manifest without incorporating "Alakh Adesh" — a householder unable to join an established Nath lineage can still follow prescribed householder guidelines to obtain the grace of the Navnath and progress.
What do "Adesh" and "Alakh" mean in the Nath tradition?
"Adesh" originates from "Adi-Eesh", signifying Lord Shiva, so speaking it is an act of remembering and bowing to Him; "Alakh" signifies the unending or infinite, such as an unending flame, with multiple established methods existing to invoke, manifest, and transmit it.
