Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Siddha Gosht

By Nirankar Niranjan

Sidh Gohst (Dialogue With The Siddhas) is a pious Bani that recounts a meeting of Guru Nanak Dev Ji with a group of Hindu ascetics (siddhs) who had renounced the world, living in the caves of the Himalayas. They believed that mental and physical exercises were necessary for acquiring magical powers (also known as siddhis) that would lead to the attainment of liberation.While such ascetics believed one must withdraw from society and one's family, Guru Nanak Dev Ji believed that liberation can be attained while living in the world as a truth-oriented 'householder', earning a living by honest work. For Guru Nanak Dev Ji, true yoga is a meditative remembrance of the Word combined with Seva (selfless service) to those in need in the community.Guru Arjun Dev Ji collected Guru Nanak Dev Ji's accounts of these meetings and included it (in musical measure) in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji (pages 938-946). The Sidh Gosht recounts Guru Nanak Dev Ji's discourse with the Nath Yogis Bhangarnath, Chaqrpatnath, and Luhairipaa.Guru Nanak had such discourses with various Yogis during his Udasis, at such places as Achal Batala, Nanakmata, and Nanded.
