Sant Garib Das (1717–1778) was a hindu mystic poet, reformer and founder of the Garibdasi sect. Sant Garib Das is a revivalist of Kabirpanth. Like Dadu he did it in his own way. He was born in 1717 to a family of Dhankhar Jats and was noted for his piety and poetry. He has been known as “Harayna Saint of Humanity” belonging to Chuddani Dham.

Garib Das ji met God Kabir ji at age of 10 years in a field named Nalaa in 1727 A.D. Satguru Kabir ji also met Garib Das ji in an embodied Jinda(real) form. Garib das Ji along with his other fellow milkmen was attending his grazing cattle in his Nalaa field which is sticking to the boundary of Village Kablana. The milkmen requested Kabir sahib who had appeared in the form of a Mahatma that if you are not going to have food, then have milk because God had said that I have come after having food from my Satlok village. At that moment, God Kabir Ji said that I drink milk of an unmarried cow. Garibdas Ji brought an unmarried cow to Parmeshwar Kabir Ji and said that Babaji, how can this unmarried cow give milk? Then Kabir Sahibji patted on the back of that unmarried calf, automatically milk started flowing from the udders of the unmarried calf and stopped when the pot became full. Satguru Kabir Ji drank that milk and made his child Garibdas Ji drink some as prasaad (blessed drink), and showed him Satlok.

Gribdas ji had great influence of Kabir’s thought; he adopted him as his Guru. Gribdas ji says.” There are innumerable gems & precious stones but kabir is the most precious amongst them all” Acharya Garib Dass Ji had extra ordinary vision right from the birth and people could feel that this boy will lead the world from utter darkness to spiritual enlightenment. He was a deeply religious person concerned about the welfare of ignorant people. He preached that God has many names. So he has numerous qualities and attributes. He did not give up the rich heritage of Indian Philosophy. He gave a fine and hog order Gurbani which consists of some 7000 verses of the celebrated Kabir, followed by 17000 of his own which laid stress on rightful living, compiled as Guru Granth which has become a beacon of light for the direction less society today. This baani is written by Saint Gopal Das ji form Rajasthan after getting permission from Baba Garib Das ji.

Acharya Shri Garib Das ji had unbelievable faith in the Baani of Kabir Sahib. He identifies Kabir as God. Both the saints Kabir sahib and Baba Gribdas ji fought for the social and religious show off’s like carrying a rosary etc. They both wore ordinary dress and never opted any religious symbols. They both had supreme belief in that almighty god and preached the same to their followers. Baba Garib Das was deeply attached to the Kabir’s Baani. He mentions Kabir as his Satguru (Real Teacher). In his wordings he refers kabir as: गरीब ऐसा सतगुरु हम मिल्या ,सुरति सिन्द्दु के तीर | सब संतन सिरताज है ,सतगुरु अदल कबीर ||

Acharya Shri Garib Das ji composed Aarti in the praise of infinite God. Garib Das ji had following Aartis in his Baani: शिव की आरती ,अन्न देव की आरती , आदि माया की आरती , संध्या आरती.

He thinks of mankind not as Hindu or Muslim but as a one loving soul of that almighty God. He preached unity and cultured understanding between the Hindis and Islamism, between the rich and the poor.
