What does surrender (sharanagati) to God actually mean?
Surrender means taking on the character of the one you follow
Sharanagati, or surrender, means bringing the character of the one you accept into your own life. When a devotee surrenders to Bhagwan, Bhagwan's qualities pass into the devotee.
Sharanagati means that whoever we accept, we bring his character into our life. The English word is surrender. Surrendering is sharanagati.
