Nathpanth school of yoga and Rasashashtra has been contributed to great extent for the mankind. Nathpanth (Nath Sect / Nath Sampradaya) is a religious sect under the "Shaiva sect" of Hinduism. Believed to be started with the origin of mythical god & incarnation of God Shiva "Dattatrey". Dattatrey is believed to be the founder or the "Aadi Guru" (first teacher) of the Nath sect. The Nath sect is a tradition which indulges and practices many types of traditions like Yoga, Tantras (sorcery), Mantras (spells) etc. It is believed that Gorakhnath was also a saint from this clan. He added many new traditions into this tradition like Siddha Yoga. Naths are also associated with "Naga Sadhus" believed to be the saints of highest ranks. Naths have the highest prominence in the Saints hierarchy. Gorakhnath himself was a incarnation of Shiva with many powers and the knowledge of wide ranges of bewitchment, mesmerism, spells, spellbinding, and sorcery. Shri Yogi Aditya Nath Ji Maharaj is currently the Gorakhnath Math Mahanth, carrying on the Nath sect. Presently Nath sect is prevailed all over India and Nepal.
Most of the Siddhas or Yogis or perfected beings belonging to the Nath order are also known as Rasa Siddhas or alchemists. They are so referred to because of their experiments with using processes to increase the lifespan and to allow the individual to attain liberation within the same lifespan. Yoga and the Nath Siddhas are closely linked and much of the Yogic techniques and texts that are taught today can be attributed to the Naths. The Nath Yogis were scientists of ancient times, who through methods and techniques were able to retine their bodies and minds to attain a spiritually enlightened state. The Nath Yogis devised such practices and methods to bring about the purification and de-conditioning and this science became popularly known as Hatha Yoga or Raja Yoga.
