9. Védas are for Each and Everyone of Us
The Veda scriptures are limitless. Their spiritual energy permeates every nook and cranny of the universe. They are everywhere. The Siddhas and the rishis grasp and absorb the Veda mantras from the universal expanse and give them to us. The Veda mantras must be received from the Sathguru, not read from a book. Every human being, irrespective of race, religion or nationality, must learn the Veda mantras from an authorized Sathguru. There are no restrictions on who can learn these mantras. All humans can provided these mantras are conveyed by an authorized Sathguru.
The power of the Veda mantras can be in any language. God sends His Siddhas to different parts of the world and conveys the Veda mantras to the different peoples in their respective languages. Sathguru Venkataraman's divine teacher, Sri La Sri Idiyaapa Eesa Siddha, taught him some secret Veda mantras in Japanese, some in the ancient Egyptian tongue and some in other languages. Thus one can not claim that the Veda mantras can be in one language only.
Beeja = seed; akshara = syllable; sakthi = spiritual potency. So beeja akshara sakthi means the spiritual potency of the seed syllables. The beeja akshara sakthi of the Veda mantras is what is important, not the language. A spiritual aspirant should not have religious, racial or language biases. God may make His power known in any part of the world in any religion in any language. All He wants is a ripe being to convey us His handiwork. So let us recite the mantras exactly as they have been conveyed to us by the Siddhas, irrespective of the language. When mantras are translated, the beeja akshara sakthi is lost. Hence it's important to retain the mantra in the language in which it was handed down to us by the Siddhas. Recite the Tamil mantras in Tamil, the Sanskrit mantras in Sanskrit, the Japanese mantras in Japanese and so on.
10. Eschew Discrimination and Differentiation
Language differences can give rise to problems amongst peoples. But we need to step beyond these differences. In the spiritual world, those who subscribe to differences based on race, religion, nationality and language are not welcome. All languages were born from the tongue of the divine Mother Sarasvathi. So all languages are good.
Those who can speak mulitple languages have been particularly blessed by Mother Sarasvathi. Unless they worshipped Sri Sarasvathi in their previous births, they can't be multi lingual in this birth. Such people should recite Veda mantras in many languages and also convey that knowledge to others as a selfless service. Going solo is not a good idea when it comes to worship. Group worship or congregational worship, though it may be difficult to organize, is what is prescribed by the Siddhas for us to follow. Those blessed by Mother Sarasvathi should not only recite the Veda mantras in many languages, but also make it a point to involve others in their worship. They must share their knowledge of the Veda mantras with others and thus render selfless spiritual service to humans everywhere.
