This devotional Aarta in praise of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib is most rapturous and sublime in its content and appeal.
After having composed this rare Hymn, Baba Sri Chand Ji Maharaj placed it at the Lotus Feet of His God - Father, Sri Guru Nanak Sahib, on His return from an Udasi and received supreme Blessings from the All Loving, All Merciful, Lord Guru Nanak.
At the very outset, He adores His God Father as the Lord Almighty and as the Master of all the Universes. He adores Sri Guru Nanak Sahib as the Supreme Paramjot.
This Sacred Aarta is incomparable. It reveals the Cosmic Vision of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib. It also reveals, without a trace of doubt, that Baba Sri Chand Ji Maharaj adored and worshiped His Father as God and Guru. He hailed the Glory of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib in all the directions, He visited during His long life.
This is a most inspiring hymn and a most sublime prayer to Sri Guru Nanak Sahib. It is a Sacred Masterpiece clearly descriptive of the Eternal Glory of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib.

This Sacred Hymn also reveals to the mankind, the true, benign, gracious and tender heart of a holy son of 'Jot RoopHar Guru Nanak'. His intensely deep and abiding love overflows from the depths of His heart to the Holy Feet of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib.
He proclaims Sri Guru Nanak Sahib as the Supreme Lord of the Universe. He envisions the Sun and the Moon, all elements of Nature, Crores of gods and the whole creation engaged in singing the Glory of their Lord, Sri Guru Nanak Sahib. The whole creation is actively and incessantly participating in Sri Guru Nanak Sahib's holy Aarta and engaged in His Service.
Baba Sri Chand Ji Maharaj assures Paramgat and salvation to those blessed persons who so sing the Glory of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib through this wonderful and Holy Aarta.

This Holy Aarta is truly a Marvellous Masterpiece, an incompareable Model, a rare Jewel of True-Devotion.
Though living in the body, Baba Sri Chand Ji Maharaj had conquered all the three bodies-the three sheaths:

• Gross, the material
• Subtle
• Casual

He was conqueror of the three states of life:

• Waking state
• Sleeping state (with dreams)
• Dreamless sleep

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]
And was always established in Turia state
He was the conqueror of all the three Gunas of Prakirti

• Tamo Gun
• Rajo Gun
• Sato Gun

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]
He was the conqueror of all the three worlds:

• Maat Lok
• Par Lok
• Brahm Lok

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]
He thus lived as Gunatita. He was neither subject to Nature nor its three modes. He lived in this world totally unattached as Lotus-Flower on Water.
He proclaimed with a thunder that Sri Guru Nanak Sahib was the Light Eternal shining in every heart, that all Rishis and Munis meditated on Sri Guru Nanak Sahib's Lotus Feet and that Sun and Moon act as Jots in the Holy Aarta of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib.
All Glory to the Holy Victor and
the Most Illustrious Son of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib,
Baba Sri Chand Ji Maharaj.

After Guru Nanak left home on his travels to distant parts, Sri Chand's mother took him and his younger brother, Lakhmi Das, to her parents' home at Pakkhoke Randhave on the left bank of the River Ravi. Sri Chand from the very beginning loved solitude and, as he grew up, he developed indifference to worldly affairs. At the tender age of eleven he left for Kashmir where he studied Sanskrit texts under Pandit Purushottam Kaul and later studied and practised yoga under Avinasha Muni. When Guru Nanak, after his travels, had settled down at Kartarpur on the right bank of Ravi and not far from Pakkhoke, Sri Chand rejoined the family. He however retained his preference for the life of an ascetic.

Baba Sri Chand enlarges his arm to bring on earth his nephew, the son of his brother Baba Lakhmi Das who with his wife and son were flying off to give their account of hunting animals. Baba Lakhmi Das was a hunter and was told by Baba Sri Chand that one day he will have to pay for killing animals. To this Baba Lakhmi Das replied that he will leave this world immediately and face the consequences. On the way Baba Sri Chand got his son to come back as he had nothing to do with it and Baba ji wanted Guru Nanak's family tree to prosper through this boy

Guru Nanak having chosen one of his disciples as his spiritual successor, passed away at Kartarpur on 7 September 1539 and a monument was raised over the site where his ashes were buried. As the monument was washed away by floods in the river, Sri Chand had the urn containing the ashes salvaged, reburied it at some distance close to the well of Ajitta Randhava, a devotee of the late Guru, and built a mud hut over it. The place came to be revered as dehra or samadh (mausoleum) of Guru Nanak around which grew up the present town of Dera Baba Nanak. Baba Sri Chand stayed on at Pakkhoke Randhave for some time. He gathered around him a band of his own disciples who like him shunned the householder's life and practised austerities. With his disciples he travelled throughout the length and breadth of India, initialing more converts to his Udasin or Udasi (lit. indifferent, stoic) sect who functioned as itinerant preachers and established missionary centres at different places in the country and beyond. Through them Guru Nanak's word was also carried to far corners of the land. Baba Sri Chand's own main centre was ti Barath, 8 km southwest of Pathankot in Gurdaspur district of the Punjab.
Baba Sri Chand also kept in touch with successive Gurus during his long life of well over a century. The Gurus held him in high esteem in view of his holy descent, old age and piety. In 1626, when at the behest of Guru Hargobind, his eldest son, Baba Gurditta, proceeded to found the town of Kiratpur in the lower Sivalik hills, he had the ground broken by Baba Sri Chand. According to the Bhatt Vahis, Baba Sri Chand died at Kiratpur on Magh sudi 1,1685 bik/ 13 January 1629. Before that he had, with Guru Hargobind's approval, appointed Baba Gurditta to succeed him as head of the Udasi sect.
