The appeal of the "Sri Rudram", the beautiful Vedic homage to Lord Rudra, lies not merely in its phonetic majesty but its universality of approach to God.
Be brave! Be strong! Be fearless! Once you have taken up the spiritual life, fight as long as there is any life in you. Even though you know you are going to be killed, fight till you are killed. Don't die of fright. Die fighting. Don't go down till you are knocked down.
-Swami Vivekananda
