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.
As soon as you know the voice and understand what it is, the whole scene changes. The same world which was the ghastly battlefield of maya is now changed into something good and beautiful.
-Swami Vivekananda
