DEOGARH - VAIDYANATH TEMPLE  

This is called cheque or Hundi of Baidyanath. The aspirant then makes a trip to the exact place of the draw and gets the sum without least objection or resorting to any tactics by the drawee to evasion or even postponement of payment. This went on for over centuries.

Here it must be understood clearly that even the highly sophisticated, or west-faced intellectuals too implicitly honoured the cheque without grumble, or knit of brows, deeming it a harbinger of good fortune. Among those persons, the famous writer P.C.Roy Choudary. M.A., B.L., who served the government in various posts of trust and responsibility is one and he recorded it in his book on Temples and Legends of Bihar, published by Bharativa Vidya Bhavan, Bombay. Despite noted as a well known author of objectivity and a true disciple of Judanath Sarkar, the greatest historian of all times and bore the marks of western education, he promptly and soulfully parted with the amount mentioned in the cheque. He did not consider it a fraud perpetrated on him, nor had he regretted. This is Indianness pure and sacrosanct. Mark it, he is one among several thousands who reposed implicit faith in that Unseen Highest Divinity and derived bliss unadulterated.
