Saint Garibdas Ji Maharaj was a spiritual leader and reformer, born 1717 to a family of Dhankhar jats in the village Chudani, District Jhajjar, Haryana, India. A rich farmer, his spiritual journey started when "Almighty God" Kabir came to meet him and initiatiated him at the age of 10 years. After getting spiritual awareness from "Almighty God Kabir", he uttered many Banis that are collected as holy book Garib Das ki Granth. Garibdas Panth is also a Kabirpanth. Saint Garib Das Ji told through his Banis that Kabir Sahib is the supreme God in Satlok. Garibdas died in 1778 A.D., and over his remains, a memorial was established.
