Headache is a condition of pain in the head, ranks amongst the most
common local pain complaints and may be frequent for many people. The
vast majority of headaches are benign and self-limiting. Common causes
are tension, migraine, eye strain, dehydration, low blood sugar, and
sinusitis. Much rarer are headaches due to life-threatening conditions
such as meningitis, encephalitis, cerebral aneurysms, extremely high
blood pressure, and brain tumors. <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Treatment of an uncomplicated headache is
usually symptomatic. <font size="3">The performance of Sivananda
Pranyama for a period of ten to fifteen minutes with mind fully
quiet and composed will relieve headache and is known to be a very
useful
panacea for blood pressure, mental tension, and irregularity of the
stomach,<o:p></o:p></font> although some specific forms of headaches

<p>"Rain-water falling upon the roof of a house
flows down to the ground
through spouts shaped grotesquely like the tiger's head. One gets the
impression that the water flows from the tiger's mouth, but in reality
it
descends from the sky. In the same way the holy teachings that comes
from the
mouth of godly men seem to be uttered by those men themselves, while in
reality
they proceed from God." <br>
- Sri Ramakrishna</p>
<p>"What is the nature of Guru's grace? It is beyond thought and
word.
Then how can it be said that the devotee realises his true Being by
virtue of
the Guru's grace? It is like the elephant which wakes up on seeing a
lion in
its dream. Even as the elephant wakes up at the mere sight of the lion,
so too
is it certain that the disciple wakes up from the sleep of ignorance to
the
knowledge of Real. It is true and certain."<br>
- Sri Ramana Maharshi<br>
</p>
<p>If we are wise enough to follow the Guru's instructions,<br>
we will open a wide channel through which<br>
grace rushes towards us,<br>
Inundates us, fills us,<br>
and lifts us up to sublime heights. <br>
- Sri Swami Chidananda<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Guru is the boat <br>
To cross this <st1:place><st1:PlaceType>ocean</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName>Samsara</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>;
<br>
The Guru is the passport <br>
To the <st1:place><st1:PlaceType>kingdom</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName>Eternal</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>
bliss; <br>
The Guru is the ladder <br>
To lift you to the peak of perfection. <br>
Serve your Guru well with Bhakti. <br>
You will obtain his grace <br>
And reach the goal of life.<br>
