Saranagati
Author: Bhaktivinoda Thakura
Year: 1893
Language: Bengali

Saranagati is one of Bhaktivinoda Thakura’s
popular writings. “Saranagati” means “process of surrender.”
The overall mood of the Saranagati is in the mode of
humility. Unlike Gitavali where it is was mostly
glorifying the Lord and His many forms, Saranagati is primarily in the mode complete surrender. In the first
song of the Saranagati, Bhaktivinoda
Thakura explains the main contents of the text. The
main contents of the text are the six steps in order to have the perfect
surrendering to the lotus feet of the Lord. The six steps are Dainya (humility in Section 2), Atma
Nivedana (dedication of the self in Section 3), Goptritve Varana (accepting the
Lord as one’s only master in Section 4), Avasya Raksibe Krsna Visvasa
Palana (faith that Lord Krsna as the sure protector
in Section 5), Bhakti Anukula
Matra Karyera Svikara (accepting favorable habits and practices towards
devotional service in Section 6), and Bhakti Pratikula Bhava Varjanangikara (rejecting unfavorable habits and practices
towards devotional service in Section 7). After these sections, Bhajana Lalasa sings of the
hankering of devotional service. Siddhi Lalasa is a small section of Bhaktivinoda
Thakura’s Gitamala. The
last two songs is a prayer request to the Lord and glorification of the Lord’s
name.
