Sidh Gosti
Sidh Gosti (Punjabi: ਸਿਧ ਗੋਸਟਿ, pronunciation: [sɪdh ɡosʈ], sidha gōsaṭi, lit. discourse with Siddhas), also spelled as Sidh Goshti, Sidh Gosht, or Sidh Gosat, is a famous spiritual interfaith dialogue between Guru Nanak and Nath Siddhas. The composition is present from Ang 938 to 946 in the Adi Granth. The composition has 73 stanzas, written in Ramkali Raga. Prominent Sidh and Naths present during discussion were Charpatnath, Bhangarnath and Loharipa. The popular belief is that this discourse happened at Achal Batala. Other than that Guru Nanak had discourses with Sidhas at various places mainly at Gorakhmatta, Achal Batala and Mount Meru. The discussion explains the differences of Gurmat with Yoga.
The content and arrangement of the Siddh Gosht is presented as a debate (from the Sanskrit "goshti") between Nanak and the yogis called Siddhs. The yogic orders, particularly those of the Nath Yogis who derived their authority from their master, Gorakhnath, were a force of major significance in sixteenth-century Punjab, as described in many Sikh texts, such as the Janamsakhis. The Siddh Gosht presents Nanak's dialogue with the Siddhs as a discussion of key concepts like the void (Sunn) and the Word (Shabad), to establish the superiority of the Nanak’s teachings as the true path of yoga. In keeping with its subject, the Siddh Gosht was originally written in the Sanskritized Hindi, which is sometimes referred to as Sadhu Bhasha, but more commonly expressed in Gurmukhi Punjabi.
Stanzas 1-3: Introduction to the meeting between Guru Nanak and the Yogis.
Stanzas 4-6: The Yogi, Charpat, inquires about Nanak, asking who he is and what his aim and path is. Nanak responds accordingly.
Stanzas 7-11: The Yogi, Loharipa, poses a challenge to Nanak, who explains the true yoga.
Stanzas 12–22: The Yogis pose further questions, both personal and doctrinal, to Nanak, who answers them.
Stanzas 23–24: Nanak speaks to the origin of creation in the void.
Stanzas 25–26: The fates of those whose lives are centred around ego and those whose lives are centered around preaching the Name are set in contrast to one another.
