Six things are required for Saranagati (Shad-vidhah Sharanagathi)

Aanukulasya Sankalpah - Follow DharmaShastras. Following what pleases the

Lord.

PratikulAsya Varjanam - Avoiding what is against DharmaSastras. i.e avoiding what

is against the Lord.

Rakshisati Visvasaha - Total faith that Lord will protect us. (Do Bhagavat Gunan
Anusandhanam to protect against any loss of faith).

Goktrukta Varnam tatah - Considering Lord is the Upaayam (Means) and praying the
Lord that he should be the means(upaayam).
(Gokta - Rakshakan i.e means ; Varanam
-> Sweekaaram)

kArpAnyam - Expression of Helplessness - Akinchanyam, ananyagatitvam.

Aatma Nikshepah -> Surrendering soul

Shad-vidhah Sharanagathi (Sharanam iti Agati!.. We can ask for any phalan,
including Moksham! But, 99.99% of us ask for
material things, but at the least we are asking the Lord!).

"One should surrender to the Lord as much as an animal purchased from the market
surrenders to its master. Such an animal never thinks of his maintenance because
he knows that his master will look after him. A soul totally surrendered to the
Supreme Lord is similarly never anxious for his maintenance. Srila Sanatana
Gosvami gives further symptoms of full surrender in his Hari-bhakti-vilasa
(11.417):

anukulyasya sankalpah pratikulyasya varjanam

raksisyatiti visvaso goptrtve varanam tatha
atma-niksepa-karpanye sad-vidha saranagatih

"The six divisions of surrender are: accepting those things favorable to

devotional service, rejecting unfavorable things, the conviction that Krsna will
give protection, accepting the Lord as one's guardian or master, full self-
surrender, and humility." Narada will gradually explain these principles of
devotion in the remaining sutras

The whole point is that the bhakta does what Krishna likes. In the Hari-bhakti-
vilasa (11.417), Sanatana Gosvami describes six symptoms of a surrendered soul,
and each of them involves humility before the Lord:

anukulyasya sankalpah pratikulyasya varjanam

rakshishyatiti visvaso goptritve varanam tatha

atma-nikshepa-karpanye shad-vidha saranagatih

"The six aspects of full surrender to Krishna are (1) accepting things favorable
for devotional service, (2) rejecting things unfavorable for devotional service,
(3) believing firmly in the Lord's protection, (4) feeling exclusively dependent
on the mercy of the Lord for one's maintenance, (5) having no interest separate
from that of the Lord, and (6) always feeling meek and humble before the Lord."
 What is the method by which the jiva gradually becomes soft and lets go of the
acquired nature, which is characterized by the presence of so many different
anarthas? It is called saranagati. Surrender is the process of giving up the
nisarga, the acquired nature. And how do you know that the jiva is giving up his
nisarga? Because these anarthas, which are the fruits of nisarga, are all
gradually disappearing; they are fading away and becoming less and less and less.
That is called anartha nivrtti. So:

adau sraddha tatah sadhu-

sanga 'tha bhajana-kriya
tato 'nartha-nivrtti syat
tato nistha rucis tatah

From sraddha up to ruci are the progressive steps of the gradual process of
saranagati. Now we can understand saranagati-giving up nisarga and approaching our
actual svabhava. So Bhaktivinoda Thakura explains that in this process of
saranagati, there are six angas, six limbs. What are they?

anukulyasya sankalpah pratikulyasya varjanam

raksisyat iti visvaso goptrtve varanam tatha
atma-niksepa karpanye sad-vidha saranagatih
(Hari-bhakti-vilasa 11.676)

Anukulyasya sankalpa, we make a strong vow, I will do everything which is

favorable for devotional service. Pratikulyasya varjanam, I will make a determined
effort not to do anything against my practice of devotional service. Raksisyatiti
visvaso, I have a strong faith that in any situation Krsna will protect me.
Goptrtve varanam tatha, Now and tomorrow and forever, I will not have to do
anything for my maintenance, Krsna will maintain me. Dainya, to always be meek and
humble and give respect to others. And atma-nivedana means to not have any
interest separate from the interest of Krsna. In the beginning, surrender means to
Gurudeva and Vaisnavas, gurupadasraya, surrendering completely to Gurudeva,because
at first we don't know Krsna. To not have any interest separate from the desire of
guru, to make your desire and the desire of guru one-this is atma-nivedana.

The six angas of saranagati are composed of five moods. The first mood is called
pratijna, promise, anukulyasya sankalpah-pratikulyasya varjanam, I will do
everything favorable and give up everything unfavorable. These two together make
one mood that is called pratijna, I promise-this mood should come. Then the next
mood, Krsna will certainly protect me, is called visvas, confidence, confidence in
Krsna. The third mood, I know that Krsna will maintain me throughout my whole
life-this is called nirbharata, dependence. Then, to always be humble-this is
dainya bhava. And finally, atma-nivedana means not to have an independent mood. To
depend on Krsna is one mood and not to have any independent mentality is the final
mood.

The six-pointed star in the center represents the six principles of surrender:

anukulyasya sankalpah: enthusiastically perform all activities favorable for

spiritual advancement
pratikulyasya varjanam: avoids all activities which are unfavorable for ones
spiritual advancement.
raksisyatiti visvaso: have strong faith in all circumstances, knowing that he is
under the protection of Krishna at all times.
bhartrtve varanan: to accept Krishna as ones only master
atma niksepa : to sacrifice everything for the Lord.
karpanya: act in a humble surrendered spirit.
Every member of the Hare Krishna Nama-hatta movement should try to absorb these
six codes of surrender for higher advancement towards the goal of life.

The six symptoms of surrender according to Vaisnava-tantra are:

anukulyasya sankalpah pratikulyasya varjanam

raksisyatiti visvaso goptrtve varanam tatha
atma-niksepa-karpanye sad-vidha saranagatih (2)

The six divisions of surrender are the acceptance of those things favorable to
devotional service, the rejection of unfavorable things, the conviction that Krsna
will give protection, the acceptance of the Lord as one's guardian or master, full
self-surrender, and humility.
