Panthan

Panthan

Panthan (meaning "path" in Sanskrit) is the term used for several religious traditions in India.

A panth is founded by a guru or an acharya, and is often led by scholars or senior practitioners of the tradition.

Some of the major panthas in India are:
# Khalsa Panth (Guru Gobind Singh's Sikhism)
# Nanak Panth (Sikhism)
# Sahaja Panth (Universal)
# Kabir Panth (Part of the Sahaja)
# Dadu Panth (Part of the Sahaja)
# Tera Panth (Jain)
# Satnami Panth (Hindu)
# Nath Panth (Hindu)
# Varkari Panth (Hindu)
# Sat Panth (Shia, Islamic)
# Rasul Panth (Islamic)
# Pagal Panth (Islamic)
