No authentic account on the life of Mahatma Dulan Das Ji is available. He was the Gurumukh-disciple of Jag Jivan Saheb. According to the votaries of Sat Nam, Dulan Das Ji was born in 1660 A. D. After having attained the ripe old age of 118 years, he left his mortal coil on a Sunday which was the second day of the dark half of Asvin in 1835 Vikram (1778 A. D.)
He was a `Som-banshi’ Thakur by caste and was born in the family of a landlord in village Samesi in Lucknow district. After receiving initiation from Jag Jivan Saheb in village Sardaha, he stayed for a long time in Kotwa in the latter’s company. Thereafter, he founded a village called Dharme in Rae Bareilly district and stayed there till he left his mortal coil after giving Jivas the benefit of true Parmarth for a very long time.
Dulan Das Ji lived the life of a house-holder and, outwardly, he never gave up looking after his landed property. Indeed, this is the tradition with all the predecessor and his successor left by Jag Jivan Saheb.
