Guru mantra is a mantra given to devotees by Acharya Maharajshree. One should take this mantra when they have a steadfast belief in bhagwan. When taking your Guru Mantra you must vow to follow 5 Vartman. Guru mantra is essential without it salvation is very difficult to achieve.
Once the mantra is received it must be recited everyday in your pooja. This is done like a normal mala the only difference is that every bead you take instead of reciting Swaminarayan you recite the mantra.
The mantra used is from the Vedas
