Physical healing is one of the more fascinating aspects of spirituality, and there is so much that we really don't understand. "Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram ..." is one of my favorite chants, too. Hopefully, over the years you've found effective ways of managing migraines. lee,

He was seated on the floor, as was everyone else, and he had a harmonium on the floor next to him. He didn't speak English, so I had no idea what he was saying. I was having a very difficult time focusing, though, because I was right in the middle of a migraine headache. I was in intense pain and was incredibly nauseated. At the end of his talk he began chanting. "Sri Ram, Sri Ram, Sri Ram, Ram, Ram, ..." Everyone else in the room chanted with him, so I began chanting, too. Although, I didn't realize what had taken place until the meeting was over and we were walking out of the conference room, my headache and all of my nausea had disappeared. Who knows? Might have been Sri Ram. Might have just been my body and mind finding a healing vibration. That experience, though, opened up a lot of doors for me. Great post! Thanks! God Speed.

Yes, the Hindu cosmology can be very complicated. Throw in the Hindu names, and I often get lost trying to sort through the various layers. Don't worry about being too technical, though. I appreciate the chance to learn a little bit more here and there. Meru, thank you for the clarifications. Yes, the Hindu cosmology can be very complicated.
