Signification
Maintaining physical well-being
Contexte culturel
Health is often equated with 'shanti' (peace). If one's health is not good, the whole family's peace is disturbed. Traditional health care often involves 'toka' (home remedies) like ginger tea or turmeric milk, which are seen as ways of taking care of health. There is a growing trend of 'gym culture' and 'organic food' as modern interpretations of this phrase. Many Bengali writers, including Tagore, have written extensively on 'Swasthya-bidhi' (rules of health), emphasizing its importance for national progress.
