Sikh sources give his life the unlikely dates of 8 September 1494 – 13 January 1629, which would have made him 134 years old upon his death. He was born to [[Guru Nanak\|Mata Sulakhani]] on [[Bhadra (Hindu calendar)\|Bhadra]] sudi 9, 1551 [[Bikrami]] (i.e. 8 September 1494).

			One day, Shri [[Guru Nanak Dev]] ji spontaneously came to his sister [[Nanaki ji]] at her house. Nanaki ji came to know that Guru ji never really comes without being called, he has come today, otherwise Guru ji had to be called earlier. So you will definitely get some advice.

			Guru ji said to them that we are your slaves only. Just busy with the affairs of the world. Bibi Nanaki ji said that Guru ji, you should tell the whole world that you were busy, but in [[truth]], you have come to remove everyone from this world, from attachment.

			He told Guru ji that I have a desire in my mind, if you have permission, then tell us. Guru ji said that you were born before us and we should obey your orders. Tell me what you want.<blockquote>S'''cholars say that those who are only one day older than us, we should also listen to them. He has got knowledge in this world before us. And Guru ji himself being God is saying this thing and what about us?'''</blockquote>She said tha'''t you have been married to Bibi Sulakhni ji, a girl with very good qualities, a good family. Whenever his parents come, they leave by speaking bad words to us.I Have listen this. You don't even say anything to them.''' Guru ji said that '''tell them what they lack. Everything they want is given to them.''' Bibi ji said that '''you can even speak some sweet words to him. You can ask them about their condition, you can talk to them on any topic.''' In fact, Guruji never paid any attention to household life.<blockquote>'''If we are short of things, someone comes to us and we only speak sweet words to him, then he will be very happy about it too. When we go to someone, the reason for this is not any food or drink, only two sweet words.--[https://www.facebook.com/people/Giani-Sher-Singh-Ji-Ambale-Wale/100053148708519/ Gyani Sher Singh ji Ambala Wale]'''</blockquote>Guru ji said let's be fine. Now you come to another topic. Bibi Nanaki ji said that I have a great desire to feed my nephews in my lap. Guru ji said that you are a great devotee of God. Your wish will surely come true. And Guruji left. After that Guru ji started coming home at night, otherwise Guru ji used to come home only occasionally.

			After some time Baba Shri Chand Ji was born at his house.

			But they could not recognize him till the time of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. And always considered him only a father. Even when Guru Nanak Dev Ji was leaving the body and going to the hereafter, he did not come to him. But when he left the body then they and Baba Lakhmi Chand ji prayed to God to send his father to him for 2 Ghadi(1 Ghadi =24 minute) . And then God sent Guru ji on his Ardas again for 2 Ghadi (24 minutes in 1 hour). Then Baba Shri Chand ji also apologized to him. Guru ji gave him a boon that whatever he said would come true and also gave him infinite powers.

			Baba Shri Chand ji lived his entire life without a householder.

			== Meeting With Jahagir ==
			Baba Shri Chand ji lived all his life without a householder. One day Janhargir asked Pir Sai Mian if there are any people who are connected with God. He said that at present only Nandan Baba Shri Chand Ji of Guru Nanak Dev Ji is a Brahmagiani. He sent an elephant with many companions to bring you to him.

			Baba ji often used to take a blanket. Baba ji said let's put our blanket on the elephant first. As soon as he put that blanket on the elephant. So the elephant felt as if someone had placed the weight of the three worlds on him. And he began to sink down. Baba ji told him that your elephant could not bear our blanket. How will he take us.

			Baba ji said that we will climb on the back of our partner. When Baba Sri Chand Ji came to Jahangir's court, he welcomed him warmly and he started talking to him. Baba ji took a blanket which he placed in front of him. That blanket would sometimes rise and shrink on its own; Like someone in it. Jahangir said Baba ji what is this.

			He said that whatever is in the blanket should come to them. After a while, he also bit Jahangir. He fell down from his seat. And began to tremble. He asked Srichand ji to remove it. Baba ji said stop for 10 minutes. But he said let's remove it now.

			He asked Baba ji what it was. Baba ji said that we had a fever which happens after 3 days but you still called us to him then we sent him in this blanket to talk. He then said that you can take away this warmth, you can give it to someone else, then take it away from you forever.

			Baba ji said that we cannot do it. It is in the will of God. We don't have the guts to do it. Jahangir understood. And he also felt that he did no good by martyring Guru Arjan Dev ji.

			Baba ji then left from there and he gave his gadri to Baba Guraditta ji, the son of Guru Hargombind Sahib ji. Baba ji lived in the world for about 134 years.
