Sharanagati – Surrender
A Selection of Teachings on Surrender
based on the 1936 Diary by Sri Gajapathi Aiyyer
Following the warm reception of the first two volumes Aham Sphurana and Vichara, which brought readers into the living presence of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi and the vibrant spirit of the Ashram, Sharanagati turns with equal clarity to a companion pillar of his teaching: Surrender. For Bhagavan, Surrender is not a sentiment but a direct, uncompromising way to dissolve the ego and rest in the natural peace of the Self.
Drawing from rare dialogues and finely selected teachings and stories, this volume explores surrender as both practice and fruition—how partial surrender ripens into effortless, total letting-go; how trust in the Divine displaces anxiety and doership; and how Grace becomes unmistakably operative when one ceases to resist. Practical pointers illuminate what it means to ‘give up everything and keep quiet’, while addressing real questions of work, family, karma, and the seeming paradox of effort and non-doing.
In the spirit of Bhagavan’s living wisdom, Sharanagati is an essential companion for seekers drawn to awakening through surrender—an invitation to yield the mind into the Heart, abide as Silence, and discover that perfect peace is not attained, but revealed when nothing is held back and everything is given up in the spirit of Ananya Sharanagati–Absolute Surrender.
