Offered Ghee for Yagna

One "dandi swami: (staff carrying sage) had arrived in Santram Temple on Nadia around the year 1969.whose diet is comprised of tree leaves only. This sage wanted to conduct a Yatirudra Yagna (sacrificialrite). for which he approached VaidyarajJagannathji to get a donation. After understanding his plans. Vaidyaraj asked how much ghee would be needed for the yagna. The sage said around eleven cans ofghee were required. Hearing this Vaidyaraj said, "You do not need to requestanyone for funds toperform such a religious ceremony. I will make sure that eleven cans of ghee reach you as required."Thus. Vaidyaraj provided eleven cans of pure ghee for yagnya without any hesitation.”

Rigorous follower of Religious norms

This incident occurred when Vaidyaraj was employed at the charitable clinic of ShethDharmsukhrajTansukhram. Sheth'spregnant daughter was having some difficulty while delivering baby, soVaidyaraiwas called for assistance. Vaidyaraj said "1 cannot though a woman delivering baby, because a Brahminlike me will have to observe extremely intricate Chandrayanvrat after doing so. please, seek treatmentfrom someoneelse now. I will cure the patient later. "Sheth was so much impressed with this frankness ofVaidyaraj, that he doubled his salary effective from that day itself, as a reward forVaidyaraj's firm faith inreligion.

Candid Personality

Inspiredby being very religious and workaholic, Vaidyaraj had a very temperamental Personality. Hereacted very strongly against disobedience and dishonestly. If a patient did not follow his prescribed dietstrictly. Vaidyaraj would take him to task without being intimidated by his social stature. Vaidyaraj wouldget rather annoyed when Patients would bring ghee, Vegetables, Food grains and fruits etc as gifts to please him. At times, when he could not shun them, he would pass on such gifts to clinicemployees or the poor. He never accepted such things; as he considered them as bribes.

Repentance for accepting ghee

Once a senior patient forcibly presented a can of ghee to Vaidyaraj. But Vaidyaraj's heart could not asallow this and he straight went to Sheth to submit the can. Sheth also tenderly convinced Vaidyaraj tokeep the ghee. This was the only incident when Vaidyaraj had accepted any gift from a patient, which herepented a lot throughout his life.
