Preface

The “Song of the siddhas” is a translation of the Siddhas Gita”, which is a part of a hindi book Gyan Vairagya Chandawali. This long poem by 108 Brahmanishta Swami Bhole Babji Mahaja of U.P.. Narrates how King Janak, ventured into a forest and gained knowledge from the Sisshas’. After the king returned to his palace. his transformation and the dialogue between the King and his Queen. make interesting reading.

I have experienced hoy and satisfaction is undertaking this work which has token me approximately five years of dedicated effort.

I am pleased that the English reading public can now have access to the Siddhas Gita.
