Sidh Gohst 2

The Sidh Gohst (Dialogue With The Sages) is a pious Bani that recounts a meeting of Guru Nanak 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.

Giani Sant Singh Maskeen (1934-18 February 2005) was born in 1934 at a place called Lak Marwat in District Bannu in present Pakistan. He was honoured by the Sikh community with the rare title of “Panth Rattan” for his services to mankind through the message of Gurbani.
