  • Konarak: the Eastern Heliopolis R.Balakrishnan
    Konarak: The Eastern Heliopolis R.Balakrishnan "Sol est remediorum maximum"— the sun is the best remedy. -Pliny Ancient India had a perfect understanding of the curative values and life supporting qualities of the sun. The Vedas glorify the sun in ecstatic terms. The Rgveda hails sun as a healing power, which cures Jaundice and improves eyesight. The Atharvavedic seers were aware of the disinfecting quality of sunlight for sun is invoked in a charm to kill the worms. The Isavasya Upanishad contains a special prayer offered to the sun by a dying man. The Prasnopanishad identifies the sun with prana (vital energy) and the Chhandogya Upanishad visualizes in him the face of God and makes him the center of the mystic meditation called Madhu-vidya. A special physical exercise called Surya-Namaskar, which is associated with the worship of the sun, has tremendous therapeutic value. Ancient Egyptians, Aztecs, Romans and Greeks all worshipped the sun and thought of it as the source of life and health. Sunbathing as a health measure was practiced in ancient Greece, Egypt, Rome, Babylon, Assyria and Persia. The Egyptians, Babylonians and Assyrians had their therapeutic sun gardens. The Greeks had many solariums, which they called helioses. Heliopolis, a city in ancient Egypt, was famous for its sunlight healing temples. (Heliopolis is a Greek name, which means “city of the sun”). Ebers Papyrus prescribed heliotherapy (exposure to ultraviolet sunrays) for pain relief. Herodotus, the father of heliotherapy, held that exposure to the sun was highly necessary for convalescing persons. Philostratus claimed that Olympian athletes took sunbaths.

Mishra and Lalu Das In any social science research, it is hardly possible to conceptualize and perceive the data and interpret the data more accurately until and unless a clear understanding of the characteristics in the area and attitude or behavior of people is at commend of the interpreter who intends to unveil an understanding of the implications and behavioral complexes of the individuals who live in the area under reference and from a representative part of the larger community. The socio demographic background of the local people in a rural setting has been critically administered in this chapter. A research setting is a surrounding in which inputs and elements of research are contextually imbibed, interactive and mutually contributive to the system performance. Research setting is immensely important in the sense because it is characterizing and influencing the interplays of different factors and components.
