Chath Parva
is related to health
our fasts and festival are scientific and salubrious
“Chath Parva is an occasion of celebrating chhati maiya and offering of libation to the uttrayan sun.”
Usually its preparation start after diwali.
During the Chath Parva cleanliness of body, mind, house, kitchen, utensils, streets, cities, mohallas-towns,
pathways, tanks-pools, haat-ghat, canals and rivers is done. Our ancestors have associated the importance of
cleanliness with Chath parva in such a manner that a little bit of negligence in cleaning will result in curse of
chath maiya.
Coordination of natural, materialistic, moral, physical, mental, self and spiritual health has been
made in chath parva in a unique way. The scientificness of Chath is self-evident and unchallenged.
“Chath is not
only related
to our faith, it
is also related
to our health.
It has been
proved scientifically.”
From the view point of nature:
Water of
river, pool, lake, pond is the basis of life.
For this very reason rivers in our country
have been given the status of mother.
Waves of ponds, tanks, lakes and rivers
are the symbol of life. Farmer irrigates his
farms by the life giving water sources and
produce food grain for the nation. The
best part of the worship of five elements
of nature, i.e. earth, water, fire, sky and air
is hidden in this Chath parva. Today we
have polluted these five elements. The
existence of life can be saved only
through their cleanliness. Melting of glaciers,
all types of natural calamities and
disasters are the result of our ill treatment
towards nature. Pollution is the result of
this ill behaviour.
"Offering water
(arghya) also
has scientific
meaning and
relevance,
when we offer
water to rising
sun....
water stream
filter harmful
ultra violet
rays (U.V.A.)
and only beneficial
rays fall
upon our body."
From the social view point:
Chath parva
eliminates the difference of small-big,
high and low, caste and community.
Everyone becomes equal socially. Chath
is the unique parva of antyodaya,
Sarvodaya and social good will.
From moral view point:
During the
Chath parva, the emotions of cooperation
and companionship develops which
evokes divine moral qualities in us.
Compassion, non violence and capability
develop in us. Propagation and expansion
of Asceticism, sacrifice, truth, love takes
place.
From spiritual point of view:
Scientific
fasts done on Kharna and Chath day are a
sign of unique penance fire of penance
destroys all the invisible enemies, jealousy,
prejudice, disappointment, sorrow,
fear, complex, violence etc. Rising sun is
the symbol of life where as setting sun is
the symbol of death. Birth and death are
supplementary to each other. The destruction
of old is the arrival of new. Chath
parva gives us this message-get up,
awake, go and recognise yourself.
From the point of physical health.
During the Chath Parva physical, environmental,
social and ambient cleanliness is
important from the point of health care,
and health promotion. The main point of
Chath parva is to offer libation to the sun
rising and setting in the water. It has special
importance.
Chath Parva is the treasure of health,
energy and power. Chath parva is the scientific
Mahanushthan of 'Surya Snan'

Sun travels over tropic of Cancer.
consequently the sun rays, sun heat and sun
light fall oblique and for short duration on
earth. Unique power is involved in sun
rays. It is the life of creatures and vegetation.
when sun rays fall on the body, the
sun rays make reaction with agestiraul
which is right under skin, it means ultraviolet
sun rays make reaction with 7
dehydrocholestrol in the presence of calcium
and phosphorus and make urgocalferal
(vitamin D2) and colecalciferal
(vitamin D3).
Clecalciferal mens vitamin D3 is not only
a vitamin but is a life saving miraculous
steroid harmone which provides protection
against every type of diseases. Based
on the scientific researches made in different
countries, it has been found that
lack of sun-bathing causes 100 types of
fatal diseases. Diabetes, knee pain, neck
pain, shoulder pain, back pain and bone
pain, osteoporosis, osteo-arthritis, colan
rectal cancer, prostate cancer, ovary cancer,
uterus cancer, breast cancer, multiple
skelerosis, rickets, calcium deficiency and
harmonal imbalance are few of them.
Vitamin D-3 intake stops the growth of
cancer cells. Sun bath gives 40% benefit
in prostate and colan rectal, ovary and
breast cancer.
According to a recent survey:
Breast
cancer cells have vitamin D receptors.
These receptors attract vitamin D as magnet.
These receptor absorbs vitamin D in
adequate quantity and get activated by
absorbing them. A unique chain reaction
of atoms starts. which reduces the growth
of cancereous cells. Sometimes this chain
reaction destroys the cancereous cell.

Makar Sankranti is celebrated as a ritual in
the whole world on 14th January. In western
countries sunday is fixed as holiday for
taking sunbath.
