Sri Rudram and the Purushasuktam are a pair of mellifluous Vedic hymns that can readily waft us to ethereal spiritual heights. Text with word-for-word meaning and brief notes from classic Sanskrit commentaries.
Nature, body, mind go to death, not we. We neither go nor come. The man Vivekananda is in nature, is born and dies; but the Self we see as Vivekananda is never born and never dies. It is the eternal and unchangeable Reality.
-Swami Vivekananda
