Manticore published another Bhatt. I have read only one of them before this one. The Nath religion is a current that exists within Hinduism, but is so universalistic in approach that also people of other faiths are involved. Nath even claims to have adherence of all castes.
Bhatt’s book is mostly a collection of hagiographies. One big soul after another gets a short biography. This is not entirely uninteresting, but these biographies do not say all too much the Nath religion.
Towards the end there are some “unknown tales of the Nath cult”.
Not a boring read, but I would have liked to read more about the religion itself and not just about the people involved.
