Question to Hauma Hamiddha Ji:
Can you please share information on sri sAbarnatha, sAbar-mantra, sAbar-panth, sAbar.
Per some paurANic traditions I have heard, particularly Saiva, he is mahAdev himself, and relates to the samudra manthana episode. after having consumed the poison, and holding it in his throat, he came upon a sivAlik peak of himAlaya and in that condition with poison in his throat he started reciting mantra-s which are known as sAbar-mantras and considered very secret, revealed only to select few mAntrik-s.
per another narrative (esp. nAth sampradAya), sri sAbarnAth ji was a guru-bhrAtA of sri gorakshanAtha ji, and a disciple of sri matsyendranAtha ji. Like guru gorakshanath inherited the haTha-yoga, guru sabarnAtha ji inherited mAntrik heritage and propogated that in the world.
What is the situation of their panth today?
Sanpera (snake charmer) community claims sAbarnAth ji as their Adi-guru too (I beleive) or at least treat him with special reverence.
