SHARANAGATI: The Lord comes to the rescue of those who surrender to him with full faith and belief as can be seen in the stories of Gajendra, the elephant king; Prahlad, son of king Hiranyakashipu, and Draupadi, the wife of Pandavas. In the Gita, Krishna says: `Leave everything and surrender to me, I shall absolve you of all sins and lead you to salvation.' Vibheeshana comes to Rama's camp with folded hands seeking protection. Sugriva and his entire army oppose the acceptace of Vibheeshana. Rama tells them, `Whoever comes to my feet, I will protect him from all fears.This is my sankalpa.' Rama adds that he will protect any one seeking protection in him, even if it is Ravana himself.' However, complete surrender can fail in instances where a stronger law prevails, and where a person appealed to lacks compassion and grace. – D.S.
