There is a rule that these must be chanted in a particular way by exactly replicating the swara with anudarthas and udarthas as mentioned in the literature. The swara frequency which invokes the diety. Wrong spell may not invoke the diety and also the wrong chanting sometimes creates an opposite meaning of the verse. That is why mantras are to be learnt under an expert and also to be recited as per the literature containing where the anudarthas and udarthes are to be spelled. So, veda mantras can only be recited after learning them. There is also a limitation that these should not be chanted at any time. these should be chanted at the time of organizing Karmaanushrana (Daily Rituals, Sandhya vandanam), yagnas, homams and also should be performed with internal and External cleanliness....

 On the top of the Mangalagiri hill people see god narasimha in the form of Jwala or Fire and pray him to fulfill their desires. It is called Gandalayam. It is also said in sthala puranam that when you read a stothram with great concentration towords the fire, god image can be seen in the fire.  Miracle.... inorder to prove the words said in sthala puranam, I started reading Raghuveera gadyam and asked one of my colleagues to take snaps of the fire while I am reciting. Out of amazement, after completion of the stothram started observing the snaps taken during my recital.... Miracle.... I have seen a snap which represented lord vishnu sitting on Garuda (to bless me).... This is the picture where the god's image can be observed in the fire  Jai Narasimha Jai Sri ram🙏🙏🙏
