Abstract
La historia religiosa del sur de Asia ha contado con la presencia de distintos grupos de renunciantes y yoguis. De entre ellos, una pieza crucial ha sido el grupo de ascetas comúnmente conocido como Nāth Panth o Nāth Yoguis. Su relevancia deriva tanto de su participación en la historia premoderna y moderna de la política en el sur de Asia, como de sus contribuciones para con la formación del panorama cultural y religioso de las sociedades surasiáticas. El presente ensayo se propone revisar algunos aspectos y problemáticas relativas a la identidad nāth. Así, cuestionará lo que significa ser un yogui, un nāth, y se referirá a fuentes originales para examinar qué dicen al respecto, además de considerar las herramientas textuales y aproximaciones posibles para realizarlo.
