Which is the World’s oldest Tape Recorder? by Sri Kanchi Paramacharya Mahaswami
Once way back in 1940s/50s someone was conducting an interview with Kanchi Mahaperiyava. That gentleman recorded the interview in a Tape recorder.
@justRamvenkat @KanchiMatham

Periyava then posed a question:
“Does anyone know which is the oldest known #tape #recorder?”
Nobody was able to answer. Then Mahaperiyava asked another question:
“How did #Vishnu #Sahasranamam come to us?”
Everyone said Bhishma Pitamah gave it.
All agreed. @Itishree001

Then #Mahaperiyava posed another query:
“When all were listening to Vishnu Sahasranamam, who took Notes at #Kurukshetra thousands of years back?”
Again silence.
Mahaperiyava started replying to everyone.
“When Bhishma Pitamah was glorifying Lord Krishna with Sahasranama i.e,

His 1000 Names, Everyone was looking at him including Krishna & Veda Vyasa. After he finished 1000 Namas, everyone opened their eyes. First to react was Yudhishtra. He said, Pithamaha chanted 1000 glorious names of Vasudeva. Everyone listened but nobody bothered to

note it down. Now the 1000 Namas will be lost!” Then all prayed to Krishna & asked Him. As usual, He said I also listened like you, so what to do!
Then all prayed to Krishna how to get back the 1000 Namas. Then Krishna said, “It could only be done by Sahadeva & Veda Vyasa

will help to write it!”
Everyone now asked why Sahadeva. Krishna then replied:
“Sahadeva is the only one amongst us wearing Sutha Spatikam the Pure #Quartz stone. If he prays to Shiva & meditate he can convert the Spatika into Waves of Sound & then Veda Vyasa can write it!

Then Bhishma & Sahadeva started the #meditation to get the Sound Waves of the 1000 Namas from the Spatika.
The nature of Spatika is that it will capture sounds in a calm environment & this could be got back with proper Meditation of Maheshwara, who is Swethambara & Spatika

So the World’s earliest tape recorder is this Spatika which gave us this wonderful Vishnu Sahasranamam!
From the Spatika recording, came the Grantha Book to us through Veda Vyasa.
When Mahaperiyava explained it in such a manner, Everyone were stunned! @hathyogi31
