Why ved mantras are to be chanted only in Sanskrit

Why Veda mantrams are chanted in Sanskrit only ? Why not to translate into Tamil / Marathi , etc and chanted ? --- *A beautiful explanation*

Sri T Sadagopan Iyengar is a genius. Studied Physics at IIT and retired from IIT. I admire him for his simplicity and complex knowledge. Sharing a recent post of his--

Interesting response.

I am a firm believer that science and reality are not different.

I will do a little research whenever I get the chance to confirm it.

Recently I attended a Srarddham ceremony at a relative’s house.

That relative has some revolutionary thoughts (he thinks). He was translating all the mantras recited by the Shastri into Tamil meaning....instead of repeating in Sanskrit like below.

‘After wearing the sacrament, I sat on the darba and took one, two, three, four spoons of ghee’ etc.

And instead of Sanskrit he told it in Tamil meaning.

Shastri did not like this much. He told him ‘Don’t say that in Tamil. It can only be said in Sanskrit. '

‘Why? Doesn’t God understand other languages like Tamil? ’provokingly Laughed Puratchi (revolutionary)

I had to open my mouth as I was idle for so long like Vikraman who broke his silence while doing Betalam Provoke.

‘What you are talking about is only audible for the person sitting opposite to you. On a radio or TV station, your speech can be heard thousands of kilometers away.

Why? '

‘Electro Magnetic Waves’

‘So what it means?’ I asked

‘Changing to Specific frequency...he replied

Well .. there are some frequencies to listen to, some are annoying, some may even cause ear damage, some ragas have the ability to prove the healing properties of the disease. What’s so significant about these? ”

'what does it mean?'

‘The effects vary depending on what kind of sound waves we make. Is that right? '

Yes'

Say ‘Darbe Swasinaha’ with a mic in an oscilloscope. Then say ‘I sat on the bench’. Will Wave Form be the same for both?

Will not be’

‘Sanskrit mantras are set up knowing what kind of vibrations in the atmosphere in a particular case will create a worthy mood and corresponding effect’

‘Well what do you say now?’

Mantras uttered not for translation or Communication. Set for specific sound waves.

‘Is it not possible in Tamil?’

‘Yes, but not by its literal translationas it is. You have to form words which would mean and also produce the same waves as Sanskrit when you form another sentence '

‘So?’

‘Merely translating mantras is like the sun drawn on paper.

No matter how beautiful and realistic it is, we can't get light or heat from that sun on the paper.

Simple translation of Sanskrit Mantrams are just like the Sun drawn on a paper. Nothing more.

Hope now we understand the underlying message.
