It always bestows peace, prosperity and wellness on its aspirant voluntarily just like a mother, and showers strength like a father. It gives joy like one鈥檚 own spouse and showers knowledge even as a preceptor (svaguru) would do to a student. To put it succintly, the Garu岣峚mantra is on par with lord Hari himself in bestowing on his devotees, the best of everything desired by them, simultaneously assuring them of constant protection in this and the other world
