Kabir Prakat diwas marks the day of the manifestation of Kabir Sahib on Earth on the full moon day of Jyeshtha month of the Hindu calendar in 1398 A.D. It is disputed as to how he appeared on Earth. Some believe that he took birth from Muslim parents, while others insist that he himself appeared on a lotus flower in the lake "Lahartara". In fact, there is a Kabirpanth on the Lahartara lake today which reinforces this very belief.
Kabir Saheb appeared on a lotus flower in the year 1398 (Samvat 1455), on the full moon day of Jyeshtha month at the time of Brahmamuharta. God Kabir Saheb came from Satlok by assuming the body of light and incarnated on a lotus flower. Rishi Ashtanand Ji was the direct witness of this incident.
