Some believe that he took birth from Muslim parents, while others insist that he himself appeared on a lotus flower in lake Lahartara.
In fact, there is a Kabirpanth on the Lahartara lake today which reinforces this very belief.
[4] Kabir is said to have appeared on a lotus flower in the year 1398 (Samvat 1455), on the full moon day of Jyeshtha month at the time of Brahmamuharta.
[5] Kabir is said to have come from Satlok by assuming the body of light and incarnated on a lotus flower.
[citation needed] The anniversary is celebrated in India as a special Jayanti.
