DEOGARH - VAIDYANATH TEMPLE  

The temple has yet another unique tradition of fulfilling the reasonable desires of its honest staff with a novel and potent vrata or diksha. The temple's pipal tree displays astounding powers in accomplishing the just desires of the aspirant. It happens thus - whenever any one of the attendants working in the temple needs money for right cause, abstaining from food and drink, he sits under that self-same pipal tree and offers prayers to Mahadev ardently for two or three days. 

Then begins a miraculous manifestation that makes the aspirant and visitors spell-bound. That sacred tree puts forth a fresh, broad leaf covered with lines in the Devanagari script, of course, written by that Highest Invisible omni compassionate Maheswar, containing an order on a certain god-believing pious bhakta, regardless of his living in any part of the world for the payment of a certain sum to the person who produced it. That fortunate individual may be living hundreds of miles of the temple, yet his correct address with full particulars of life and job are given in that newly sprouted leaf. The high-priest, well-versed in reading and comprehending its mystical meaning writes this on a separate piece of paper in clear hand and hands it over to the aspirant.
