Guruji was born in Dugri Village, Malerkotla, Punjab,on the 7th of July 1952. His mother had no idea that Mahapurush was born to her. The midwife had stated that on the day Guruji was born, she had seen a snake and a strange bright light fill up the room. The Pandit who made Guruji’s birth chart had predicted that he belonged to the entire world. Even as an infant, a rose fragrance used to come from his body and his clothes would also never get wet.

Guruji went to school at the Dugri primary school and Government High School. He did his college from the Government College at Malerkotla. Guruji was double M.A in English and Economics. He spoke fluent English and had beautiful hand writing. Yet, just to confuse us he would often ask us to spell certain words for him. Guruji sometimes helped his father in firming, and the crop harvested would be in large amounts compared to others. His friends recall stories of Guruji filling the ink in a pen just by touching it. His professors used to get shocked by his sudden disappearance and reappearance from the classrooms. He also knew all the questions of the tests beforehand as per his friend’s version.

In his earlier days Guruji’s urge for spiritual things was spending time at the Dera of Sant Sewa Dass Ji at Dugri. Santji was a saint of high order who had renounced worldly life and had a large following. Guruji would often go and sit at the Dera. His parents wanted him to concentrate more on studies than spending time with the sages. He would be locked in the room, and to their surprise they would find the door unlocked and Guruji sitting in the Dera. His parents gradually came to understand that their son is no ordinary man but God himself. His mother also started touching his feet and called him Guruji as he is now called by everyone. Guruji left his home in 1975 after college and worked at Punjab School Education Board in a clerical position in 1983. He said that at the age of eight he could control his desires and devoted time to meditation. In his spiritual journey he would often stay with his acquaintances for a few days and then he would move from there. Sometimes he would also disappear for a certain period.

Guruji’s father did not believe in his way of life, he thought that he was pretending to be godman. One day he woke up to a strange sound in the early morning hours in Jalandhar Temple. He saw Guruji walking into a room with a lion behind him. He got scared and called the caretaker, who told him that Guruji is meditating in that particular room. That day he believed that his son is no ordinary human being.
