Early life

Sant Garibdas Ji born on 25 April 1717 in a Dhankhar Jat family to Bhai Balram and Mata Rani Devi, in the village Chudani, Jhajjar district, Haryana, India.[1]

Spiritual journey and literature

Garib Das worked as a cowherd in his youth and his spiritual journey started when he met Bhakt Kabir Das in a dream and received initiation from him.

Later on, he became the founder of a separate sect from Kabir Panth called Garibdasi Sampradaya.[2]

Garibdas was a householder and initiated many people (including women) from different backgrounds till his death which led to a great expansion of the Sampradaya including the Bhuriwale tradition of Talwandi Dham (Ludhiana, Punjab).

Among his disciples, Sant Salotji became a well known name of Sampradaya.[3]

He started composing the Sant Bani from 1767 which were written into pothis by Sant Gopaldas (of Dadu Sampradaya), now known as "Shri Satgur Granth Sahib", greatly revered by the followers of the tradition.[4]

Death

He died on 25 Aug 1778 in his native village Chhudani (Haryana) and memorial Chhatri was built in his honor.
