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.
I hate this world, this dream, this horrible nightmare, with its churches and chicaneries, its books and blackguardisms, its fair faces and false hearts, its howling righteousness on the surface and utter hollowness beneath and, above all, its sanctified shopkeeping!
-Swami Vivekananda
