Guru Nanak's mother, Mata Tripta belonged to village Barth. So Baba Sri Chand Ji moved to Barth and established a hermitage. At that time a dense forest existed at this place. Baba Ji on seeing this secluded place started meditating and lived at this place for a considerable period of time.

Baba Sri Chand Ji with his disciple Bhai Kamalya Ji went to Amritsar from Barth Sahib to meet Sri Guru Ram Das Ji. Guru Ji came forward to receive Baba Ji with respect. Guru Ji asked Baba Ji to sit on his own seat and offered Rs. 500 and a horse. After staying for 2-3 days, Baba Sri Chand Ji came back to Barth Sahib.

After some time Baba Sri Chand Ji sent Bhai Kamalya Ji to Amritsar to invite Sri Guru Arjan Sahib Ji to Barth Sahib. When Guru Arjan Sahib Ji reached Barth sahib, Baba Ji was meditating. Guru Arjan returned the following day waiting for Baba Ji to complete his meditation. This continued for 6 months. The place where Guru Ji waited has an octagonal pillar of mosaic concrete, in front of a square flatroofed room, known as Tham Sahib.

When Baba Ji opened his eyes, he received Guru Ji with respect. Guru Ji had discussions with Baba Ji. Guru Ji recited his 16 Ashtpadis. Baba Ji asked Guru Ji to utter 24 Ashtpadis. Guru Ji asked Baba Ji to add to 'Sukhmani Sahib'. Baba Ji uttered this Slok: "Aad Sach Jugad Such Hai Bhi Such Nanak Hosi Bhi Such." Guru Ji collected some pothi's (holy books) from Baba Ji for compilation of 'Sri Adi Granth.'

Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji with his family visited Barth Sahib to pay homage to Baba Ji. Baba Ji asked Guru Ji, "Will you keep all your sons with yourself or will you offer any to me?" Guru Ji offered his eldest son Baba Gurditta Ji. Baba Sri Chand Ji appointed Baba Gurditta Ji as his successor and head of Udasi's.
