WHETHER KNOWING THE MEANING OF VEDIC MANTRAS IS MANDATORY FOR PERFORMANCE OF VEDIC KARMAS?

Though it is important to know the meaning of the Vedic Mantras, it is not  mandatory for performance of the Vedic karmas. As many cannot understand and comprehend the inherent meaning of the Vedas, it is enough if they do the Vedic rituals with full faith. 

arthajnAnam na karmAngam !

 na ca avidusha: karmANi anadhikArah,  aushastye  kANde avidushAmapi Artvijya darSanAt !

--- SankarAcAryah

tasmAt avidushopi  karmaNI adhikArah !

--- Anandagiri

Thus a dvija who is not aware of the meaning of the Vedas is fully qualified for performance of Vedic rituals. What is more  important is SraddhA (utmost faith) in Vedic scriptures.
