HARDWAR (HARI-DWARA)

HARDWAR (HARI-DWARA)

HARDWAR (HARI-DWARA) I am eager to die and also die at Hari-dwara, so that the Lord may ask who is lying here at my door-step ? (Shalok Kabir, p. 1367) Hardwar (Hari-dwara) is a pilgrim station at the place where Ganga (the Ganges) finally breaks through the mountains into the plains of India. In the above reference Kabir does not talk about his place of pilgrimage, but instead he is eager to die at the gate of the abode of the Lord. Hari-dwara means the gate of the abode of the Lord.
