This should not be told at any cost to those who are not devotees, who are not good in character, one who is a disbelieaver. This is the very potential mantra for crossing over ocean of samsara, which is worshipped by bramaa & other devas, which alleviate poverty of the worshipper of this mantra - to such a powerful maha mantra which wards off fear of everyone – I salute Gururaja mantram.
Thus ends Gurugeetha which is entold in Sree Skanda Maha Purana’s Uttarakhanda by way of dialogues between Lord Mahadeva and Goddess Parvathi devi.
