Samarpan is the culmination of all spiritual sadhanas, and the ultimate point of human evolution. It is a process of unconditional self-surrender in which the limited, individual ego is transformed, over thousands of life – times, into an instrument of the divine will, able to commune with God and to serve His entire creation.
Compiled from the enlightened wisdom of two modern day sages, Swami Sivananda Saraswati, and his disciple, Swami Satyananda Saraswati, this book illumines every aspect of samarpan, including the transcendental concepts of supreme love, perfect contentment, detachment and equanimity, divine grace, and the power of faith in God, the essence of the
guru-disciple relationship, and the subtle realities facing every devotee treading the path of self-surrender.
Samarpan: Living the Divine Conneaion is an offering to all spiritual aspirants, a reminder of the grand purpose of human life and an inspiration to attain it.
