Re: what is Namtoza ?
Namtose? Known as "vaishravana" in Sanskrit...
Namtose is a "protector" in the Karma Kagyu scheme of things....he's also known as one of the 4 directional gaurdians. He's also associated with "wealth."

Re: what is Namtoza ?
Namtösa is the Tibetan name of Vaishravana who is ,as has been said before, the guardian of the northern direction associated with wealth. He is also one of the Karma Kagyu protectors of the Khor Nga.

Re: what is Namtoza ?
"Khor Nga" means, most likely, that this is a Five (nga) deity Mandala (Khor, from KyilKhor).
I'm assuming this must be referring to a five deity practice of Namtose.

I was referring to the five activity protectors you see often in the retinue of Dorje Bernakchen.

Re: what is Namtoza ?
Oops, didn't read the original comment, only the question about what "Khor Nga" meant. You're correct, of course, about the "Mandala Of Dorje Bernagchen" and the five "retinue."
