About Jai Jalaram Bapa :

SHREE JALARAM BAPA was born in the year 1800 AD in the village VIRPUR, Gujarat. His mother, RAJBAI was very fond of serving saints. No saint could go from VIRPUR without receiving the hospitality of RAJBAI. Shree JALARAM BAPA’S father's name was PRADHAN THAKKAR, who was engaged in business.

At the tender age of 16, JALARAM married VIRBAI, daughter of THAKKAR PRAGJI SOMAJIA. JALARAM was however not inclined to live household life and to continue to do business with his father. He is mostly engaged in serving saints. He separated himself from his father's business and stayed with his uncle, VALJIBHAI, who was very fond of JALARAM. It was obvious that JALARAM was inclined to completely withdraw from marital life. Fortunately his wife, VIRBAI MAA decided to follow the path of JALARAM. So, when JALARAM decided to go for a pilgrimage for holy places, VIRBAI followed him.
