Definition of prapatti

From the Bhakti List Archives

Mani Varadarajan • June 19, 1995

A while back someone asked what "prapatti" meant.
I am not sure it was answered.

Prapatti is a synonym for "saranaagati", surrendering
oneself or offering one's self to the Lord.  It is the
highest teaching of Sri Vaishnavism, and living the
life of a prapanna is the highest goal of a Sri Vaishnava.

The Alvars, for example, are ideal prapannas.
