The work reflects the distinctive worldview of Sikhism, the only major Indian religion that does not regard asceticism as a legitimate path to liberation.Composed by Guru Nānak, a medieval, north Indian saint-poet and venerated founder of the Sikh tradition, the Siddh Goṣṭ is a dialogue between Guru Nānak and several Nāth yogis who had been pursuing a rigorous path of hath-yoga as renunciates of the material world. Through their dialogue, Guru Nānak teaches the Nāth yogis a spiritual path that also includes involvement in the social world and offers a practical way to achieve liberation. In The Socially Involved Renunciate, Kamala Elizabeth Nayar and Jaswinder Singh Sandhu provide background on Sikhism, highlight the ethical teachings expounded in the Siddh Goṣṭ, and demonstrate how Guru Nānak reconciles the polarities of the ascetic and householder ideals.Spiritual lifeSikhismRenunciation (Philosophy)AsceticismNatha sectMokṣaSpiritual lifeSikhism.Renunciation (Philosophy)AsceticismNatha sect.Mokṣa.294.6/82Nayar Kamala E(Kamala Elizabeth),1966-1809426Sandhu Jaswinder Singh1973-1809427NanakGuru,1469-1538.1809428MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910955906503321The socially involved renunciate4360206UNINA
