Baidyanath : The Boidyonātha dhāma at Deoghar claims to be Paralyām Vaidyanātham, fifth of the twelve in Dwādasha Jyotirlingam Stotram. However, the Vaidyanātha at Parali, near Pune, has been traditionally worshipped as the original. The legend: In one of his anusthānas in his worship of Shiva, Rāvaṇa built, consecrated & worshipped a Shivalinga. But Shiva did not appear until after he offered his ten heads one after the other; Rāvaṇa then obtained a boon with which he hoped to destroy all his enemies. Since Shiva attended to Rāvana’s injuries as would a Vaidya, that Shivalinga & temple & location are known as Vaidyanātha.
... climate. I mean, who would like to get out of a warm snug bed on a cold wintry day, especially if it was raining or snowing, and the sun rarely showing its face before eight or nine in the morning?

My uncle would sometimes jokingly comment apropos of the flower-suggestion of my name Aurobindo, 'The sun's rays have... remedy. He would prescribe it for any Page 86 and every ailment - whether it was cold, fever or indigestion! Anyway he understood that his nephew could give back as good as he got.

... Sudhir”. Exhibit 300-21 was found in Aurobindo’s house in an unopened envelope, addressed to Sudhir Kumar Sirkar, C/o Late Raj Narain Bose, Esq., Baidyanath, Deoghar, and across the envelope is written “Confidential.” The envelope bears the Baidyanath postmark of 24th November.

... with you at Baidyanath (Deoghar), Baroda seems a hundred times more Baroda...." 11 Sarojini must have greatly enjoyed such an affectionate and entertaining letter from her brother. Describing her brother, she once said: "...a very delicate face, long hair cut in the English fashion, Sejda was a very shy person." Sri Aurobindo used to pass many of his vacations at Baidyanath or Deoghar ...

Sri Aurobindo took me with him to his maternal grandfather’s house in Baidyanath (Deoghar) along with his wife, sister and a cook. A large thick cotton carpet was spread on the floor and we all slept on it. Sri Aurobindo used to type on long foolscap paper; his rendering of the... — how could I manage both?

... "Daughter, soon your wish will be fulfilled. Your son is engaged in tapasya at Baidyanath, on the Tapoban hill. He is now called Balananda. Go there and you will find your lost son." Thus mother and son met after forty years. An emotional reunion. What amazes me is how the old lady oxcarted or trudged all the way to Baidyanath-Deoghar from Ujjain —a matter of some 920 kilometres as the crow flies and ...

Indeed it was because of Dr. Daly that Sri Aurobindo was ...
