The Socially Involved Renunciate: Guru Nānak's Discourse to the Nāth Yogis

While the first two parts set the context in which the discourse to the yogis was delivered, the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and describe both the tradition of the nath yogis and Guru Nanak' s more general doctrines, part three explicates the meanings of the text both for its time and for the Sikh community today. To the book is also added a segment (part four), which provides a translation siddh goshti into contemporary idiomatic English. translation is eminently readable (as too are all the translations of the Adi Granth within their text) and is welcome addition to the field, as the only English lations of siddh goshti, indeed of almost all Sikh usually follow the "Christian [i.e., King James Bible] template" with its characteristic Thee s , Th ou s, Thines against which the authors so eloquently argue their introduction (p. xvi).
