-: Saranagati: :-
Saranagati or Prapatti (Sanskrit for "surrender"), in the devotional school of Hindu denominations known as Vaishnavism, is the process of total surrender to God (Vishnu or Krishna).
Saranagati is divided into six divisions:
- Accepting those things that are favorable for devotion to God (anukulyasya sankalpa)
- Rejecting those things that are averse to surrender to God (pratikulyasya varjanam)
- Considering God to be one's protector in all circumstances (raksisyatiti visvasa)
- Accepting God as one's maintainer (goptrtve varanam)
- Surrendering everything in God's service (atma-niksepa)
- Cultivating a humble attitude (karpanya)
