The MAGNUM OPUS OF THE TWILIGHT YOGA is the work of Laurence Amos Miles, a young student of Aleister Crowley, who had advised him to go to India and study Tantra from its masters. He arrived in India broke and sought out a guru as instructed, not long after Crowley’s death. The guru that accepted him was none other than Shri Lokanath the Avadhoot of Uttarkashi (U.P) India and the leader of the Adi-Nath sect of Tantrikas and he was given the Tantric name Mahendranath. This happened in July 1953 e.v. and it meant that he would assume the gurus status when he died. His guru passed away in 1960 granting him a mandate to spread the teachings of Tantra to the West (Europe and America), as India was then thought to be too prudish to maintain the cult alone.

On the 1^st of January 1978 Shri Gurudeva Dadaji Mahendranath 999 (he had gained status somewhat throughout Asia by then) issued a charter to set up a magickal order for the West. With the help of his new successor to the Adi-Nath leadership, Michael Magee, named Shri Lokanath Maharaj (named after the previous master), The ARKANE And MAGICKAL ORDER OF The KNIGHTS OF SHAMBHALA [A.M.O.O.K.O.S.] was established. Its purpose was to spread the teachings of Adi-Natha Tantra to the West in a way that is practical to those living there.

The copyright issue is down to the fact that Dadaji, as Mahendranath is known affectionately, was also involved in many other initiatory traditions and so collected disciples all over the world. I therefore submit the link to this work via my tradition, from Shri Gurudeva Lokanath Maharaja’s website.
