[[Image:07Naropa.gif|frame|Naropa]]
Indian patriarch of the [[Kagyu]] lineage. Naropa was born as the son of a king, but showed no interest in assuming a position as his countries ruler. Instead he chose to pursue a religious life and entered the great monastic university of Nalanda in eastern India. He was to become one of Nalanda's great scholars. Famed for his great learning, he was made one of the "gatekeepers", responsible for safeguarding the Dharma. After a visionary conversation with an old beggar woman, who might have been an emanation of Vajrayogini, he decided that all his vast knowledge was only theoretical and that the time had come to leave the safe environs of the monastery in search of an authentic Guru. He searched for and found [[Tilopa]], under whom he underwent twelve greater and twelve lesser trials and from whom he received the authentic transmission of Mahamudra and the Six Doctrines.
