Swargadwari lies in Pyuthan district.According to Hindu Mythology, Pancha Pandava, on their way to Heaven, had performed some religious rituals in the area of Swargadwari in Pyuthan District. So, the place is called Swargadwari, meaning " The Way to Heaven ".
Maha Prabhu Swami Hansananda Giri, born in Rolpa district in 1860, showed some miraculous behaviors when he was six days old by fasting in his childhood as a penance for his mother's diet of meat.
Then, after he got sagedom in 1886, the Swami started blessing the infertile couple making them fertile and fortune telling. Later, the sage Giri, in 1894 moved to Swarga dwari with his followers and build a Shiva Temple and Yagya Sala, place for performing rituals.
Swargadwari , offering panoramic views in a tranquil and peaceful surroundings, has been the ground for continuous " Akhanda Maha Yagya", a great religious ceremony for the last 113 years. The God, Brihaspati from Heaven is supposed to arrive and complete the Maha Yagya. Hundreds of sages and their hermitages, cows, Sadhu etiquettes, Agni Kunda etc. are the other attractions which spark a spiritual and religious fervor in visitors.
It is a must see destination for Hindu pilgrims too. When ever we talk about Swargadwari Temple , we talk about the Guru Maharaj and his disciples of Swargadwari. Swargadwari Guru Maharaj was an incarnation of god. He spent most of his life in Swargadwari with his disciples. There were also thousands of milking cows in Swargadwari at that time which Guru Maharaj himself use to shepherd during the day. There is an account of some of his followers trying to follow Guru Maharaj to check where he took all those cows. But they never could find him or his cows. They referred to the team as "just to fast to catch up". So no one ever knew where Guru Maharaj used to go during the day with his cows.
Before he left his physical body, he gave some of his divine power to a few of his disciples. On the day Guru Maharaj left his soul by his own wish, a number of people gathered around the Samadhi place. Then he left his own body after bidding good by to his disciples and other followers. Swami Guru Maharaj's favorite cow also died at the same instant as The Guru left his body and headed to somewhere else. After he left his body, within few days, all cows began to disappear in a miraculous way. There is an account of people seeing the cows emptying all of their milk at the Samadhi spot by themselves at the same time of the day everyday.
