along with my conscience and their duties to you I herewith, O Lord, dedicate my wife, my children, my wealth, my home and every thing pertaining to myself to you."
It is to be remembered that this dedication is to be made to Lord Shri Krishna and not to any human being including Acharya or guru. This is also called Atmanivedana or self surrender This self surrender is to be remembered always and should be realized every now and then.
