Baba Lunia was an asetic. He had his Dera in a village on the bank of river Tapati, on the other side of Burhanpur (Madhya Pradesh). He was an admirer of Guru Gobind Singh. He had visited the Guru (when he was just a small boy), at Patna, sometimes before 1670. After the death of Yogi Aughar Nath, Madho Das Bairagi (after initiation, Baba Banda Singh Bahadur) had stayed at his Dera for three years. When Guru Gobind Singh visited Burhanpur in May 1708, Baba Lunia, who had grown very old at that time, crossed the river and visited Burhanpur to make obeisance to the Guru. He requested the Guru to visit his Dera. The Guru escorted Baba Lunia up to the river and visited his Dera the following day. Baba Lunia served the Guru with dedication.
