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.
The Atman alone is eternal. Hospitals will tumble down. Railroad givers will all die. This earth will be blown to pieces, suns wiped out. The Atman endures for ever.
-Swami Vivekananda
