Sheikh Noor ud-Din Wali, better known as Nund Rishi, was a Kashmiri Sufi who used yogic techniques, having had his Kundalini awakened by the Shaivite yogini, Lalleshwari, also known as Lal Ded. His Hindu followers remember him as Sahazanand, ‘the blissful one’, and believe that he was nominally a Muslim but in reality a sanyasi. His sayings have been preserved in the Rishi Nama written in the Kashmiri Sharda script. The chief disciples of Nund Rishi founded the Rishi Sufi Order which is indigenous to Kashmir. The Rishis’ spiritual practices were almost identical to those of the Hindu sanyasis. As the Kashmiri historian Rafiqi has noted, “All they (Rishis) seem to have added to the Natha framework was the name of Allah or huwa.’ (cited by Ramsay 2012:199).
