- Secretive nature of both traditions: Both the Nath tradition and Babaji himself are shrouded in secrecy. Knowledge and lineages were often transmitted orally and kept within closed circles, limiting written documentation.
- Symbolic connection: The connection might be more symbolic or represent a spiritual lineage rather than a direct historical one. Babaji might embody the ideals and practices of the Nath tradition without being a formally recognized figure within its historical records.
- Later association: It’s possible that the association with the Nath tradition emerged later, perhaps through disciples like Sri M or M. Govindan, who emphasized the similarities between Babaji’s teachings and Nath practices.
- Different branches or lineages: The Nath tradition has various branches and sub-lineages. It’s possible that Babaji belonged to a lesser-known or undocumented branch, making it difficult to trace the connection through mainstream Nath historical records.
