His father Shri Balaram Ji was married to Rani Devi, daughter of Shivlal Singh in village Chhudani. Shri Shivlal Ji had no son. Therefore, Shri Balaram Ji was kept in the house. After 12 years of marriage Sant Garib Das Ji Maharaj Ji was born in the village Chhodani. Shri Shivlal Ji had 2500 Bighas (big Bigha which is 2.75 times bigger than today's Bigha and counts for 1400 acres of land).
