Vedic Rishis propounded the process of establishing the pious earth as the abode of Mother, which later on culminated into Shaktipithas after combining the cultural and human consciousness and further calumniated as 51 Shaktipithas from numerical images in all the alphabets of Devanagari and displaying the Nadasvaras emanated from Devanagari alphabets encompassing the whole of Bharatvarsh. In the background of the whole Bharatvarsh it has been described as 'Bharat Maa' in Vishnu Purana. Around 9th-10th century, this concept was fully established and became the source of inspiration and energy for Indians. The co-ordination between the earth and Mother Power is vastly described in Rigveda (4.57.6-7) and Atharvaveda (12.1). Ten Mahapithas are also described in Mahabharata. Later on, the importance and spiritual vision of these Shaktipithas were described through 'Devi Mahatmya' and Devi Bhagavata Purana and these Shaktipithas have now been established as 'Place of Purity' or 'Divine Place' or 'Power Source Areas' due to which pilgrimage to all Shaktipithas came into being, which in present reference, is an important process for cultural, spiritual and ecological consciousness. In the aforesaid reference Shri Suresh Kumar Singh has enumerated the status of 51 Shaktipithas, their importance and the information regarding pilgrimage to these Shaktipithas in this book and has given a new dimension to the understanding of Indian culture.

The book re-examines the customary belief that financing of health care is positively related to health status of population. The belief has survived, despite being fallacious, because health is not generally viewed in its widest connotation; so that resources spent on health do not touch the larger meaning of health. Hence, a non-correlation between the two. The book presents factual and analytical support for this hypothesis of non-correlation. This is done in two stages. Firstly, in terms of the existing politico-economic critique; and secondly by suggesting a holistic view of health three existing paradigms of health—the mechanistic, liberalistic and the politico-economic—have been discussed. From here the book proceeds to build a holistic paradigm of health. The holistic meaning, besides physical fitness, includes a peaceful state of mind and social consiousness, without which society can neither build a genuine health care programme nor ensure positive relationship between health care financing and health status. Such a comprehensive perspective integrates mechanistic, objective as well as subjective determinants of health. In the history of health care, the concept of health has progressively widened, first from purely microscopic to socioscopic and thereafter to culturoscopic dimensions. Holism contains them all—the body, mind, society and the total human personality. The book suggests a holistic health care perspective for promoting health and peace. “This work should lead to wider vision of health, to what the author calls Holistic Health Paradigm....â€
