Radhe Radhe !
This is an excerpt from a dsicourse delivered by H.H. Shachinandan Maharaj –
“The Sanatkumara Samhita tells us how we should surrender. We should simply say: “I surrender to Sri Sri Rãdhã and Krsna, whatever is mine, is in truth Their property. Everything is for Their sake, everything is meant for Their enjoyment, it is not meant for me.”
These are the five ways to offer oneself to Sri Sri Rãdhã and Krsna.
Even if you do it only once…
It doesn’t mean that you stop the important projects which you do in this world and in your life and your relationships. It doesn’t mean to spoil your life in this world. You will see, if you surrender more and more to Krsna, whatever else you do,
you will do in relationship to Krsna. Your relationships which you have will be truly spiritual, totally in relationship to Krsna and they will be so fulfilling.
Your projets which you do they will be in relationship to Krsna and so fulfilling. Your children, which you have, if you choose to go this way, will be Krsna’s children und you will really love them and their good qualities.
Sadasiva says: “One should think about these ways of surrender day and night and never become tired of thinking of them.”
In modern psychology this is called affirmation, something which restructures your personality and makes it spiritual.

In this context we present the folowing poem –
Padya-pancaka
O Sri Sri Radha Krsna, please rescue me from the ocean of births and deaths. Please rescue me from the troubles born from children, friends, and home. Please break into pieces the fears of Your surrendered devotee.
O Sri Sri Radha Krsna, today I place myself and everything I possess both in this life and in the next at Your feet.
I am the home of all offenses. I have abandoned all spiritual duties. I have no shelter. Sri Sri Radha Krsna, O my Lords, please become my shelter.
O master of Radha, I am Yours. O beloved of Lord Krsna, I am Yours. I offer to both of You my thoughts, words, and deeds. You two are the goal of my life.
O Sri Sri Radha Krsna, You are like two great oceans of mercy. Please be merciful to me. I take shelter of You. I surrender to You. Please engage me, a sinner and an offender, in Your service.”
Hope this inspires all of us – Radhe Radhe !
