Well this is not entirely true. Naths are not limited, number one. Two they are unlikely to be Adavaita Vedantists. But there is more than one advaita Mark. As I have stated before I am not a Vedantin. Numerous Mahasiddhas were Buddhist and Hindu. And there are Tibetan Buddhists who are/were Hindu. My Nath teacher was recognized as a lama, a paramahamsha, a Nath and a saint etc. There are no limits, only ones we create. I don't believe one should be condemned for being initiated by sannyasis of the Shankaracharya order--esp. since you have no clue as to what that actually was!
