This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: this article has needed improvement for 17 years, and with only one source which suspiciously makes the book author the modern leader of a supposedly prestigious lineage, maybe the whole article is self-promotion.

Nandinatha Sampradaya (Sanskrit : नन्दिनाथ सम्प्रदाय) is a denomination of Shaivism sect of Hinduism that places great importance on the practice of yoga. It is related to the broader Nath Sampradaya. The self-styled living preceptor and 163rd head of the Nandinatha Sampradaya's Kailasa Parampara is Bodhinatha Veylanswami. It is most popular among diasporic Hindu communities (peculiarly Tamil Hindus) of North America and beyond, as well among the Sri Lankan Tamils.[1][2]
