I bow at your feet and submit my doubts and seek for your advice. I am spiritual minded person with a belief that God is supreme, used to read books written by Chinmayananda and Adisankaracharya. While reading i have never focussed on the differences between Advaita, Dvaita, Visishtadvaita. My favorite God is Lord Ganesh. But lately came to know about sarana:gathi. I have understood sarana:gathi as a process of surrendering to Lord Vishnu or Sri man Na:ra:yana for Moksha Prapti of the one who can not follow either Bhakthi yoga, Karma Yoga or Gnana Yoga. I Want to take Sarana:gathi. I only feel that Lord Ganesh is helping me or blessing me to move ahead. Hence If I pray only Lord Vishnu, It should be perfectly alright. Is this correct or not ?. Further My understanding is also that once Sarana:gathi is taken , I become a Vaishnavaite. Which school of thought does Vaishnavism belong to ? . Also please differentiate between the school of thoughts “Dvaita, Advaita and Vishistadvaita. I bow are your feet and wait for your blessings with answer.
