Swami Mukundananda
What is the wrong way to surrender to God?
Surrender is not words or outer signs
Wearing a kanti mala (sacred beads), a certain colour of clothes or visiting a holy place is not surrender, and neither is only saying Shri Krishna is mine. There is a correct and an incorrect surrender (sharanagati).
Just saying "Shri Krishna is mine" with your mouth and doing nothing about it. Some people's theory is to do whatever you want during the day, and at night, when about to sleep, to say a surrender line.
