A Blessed Devotee from Karnataka -3
Episode 51
Recently Mrs. Bharati performed her second daughter’s wedding (1 st week of Sept 2017).
She invited Kalpana for the engagement as well as wedding well in advance. Kalpana had no plans of coming to India during summer so she said she would try.
A month and half before the wedding Mrs. Bharati saw Kalpana and her whole family in her dream. She saw that they were visiting her house and felt blessed that ‘Krishna’s family was blessing them through their visit’.
The dream was so real that she asked Kalpana ‘it is just one and half months for the wedding, would you come back again for the wedding to bless the couple?’
To which Kalpana replied (in the dream) ‘If Krishna wishes we will surely come’.

A few days later Mrs. Bharati called Kalpana to personally invite them for the wedding.
And can you guess what the reply was???
‘If Krishna wishes we will surely come’.
Hearing the same words from Kalpana was like a déjà vu for her and she was shocked.
She heard the same words earlier in her dream.
Around the same time I had a dream that myself and Kalpana had gone to Mrs. Bharati’s house.
The whole house was filled with Krishna’s statues as well as pictures.

I have never visited them but could clearly see their family inviting us. The interesting thing was she served lunch to us.
Can you guess the shape of the plates she served in?
A foot shaped plate …. May be Our Unni Kanna’s foot.
It was such a sweet surprise to eat in foot shaped plate.

Whenever Mrs. Bharati calls Kalpana she always says a prayer to Krishna before calling.
He never disappoints her.
She says that she either hears the voice of a small child or that of a child throwing things. On the other side Kalpana cannot hear any of these.
Don’t we know who would make these sounds???
A few days after the engagement of her daughter, she along with her family as well as groom’s family went to Guruvayur.

A few days after the engagement of her daughter, she along with her family as well as groom’s family went to Guruvayur.
Mrs. Bharati, her husband as well as the groom’s father went for the Nirmalaya darshan (3 to 3.30 am).
They stood in the queue throughout the night and hence were the first few to enter the temple.
Normally due to the rush the priests push the people to move so that everyone gets a chance to see the Unni Kanna in His Nijaroopam. This darshan is open only for 30 to 45 minutes.
However as luck has it, Mrs. Bharati stood for around 45 mins inside the temple and could see the whole abhisekham without anyone pushing her or telling her to move.
The whole time tears were rolling from her eyes for the unexpected blessing she received.
When she started to come out one of the pujari asked ‘samadanam ayo?’ (Are you satisfied?).
She replied yes and came out.

Long before her husband and groom’s father had come out and were waiting for her outside.
Imagine the blessing, although three of them went in together, only Mrs. Bharati was blessed to see the whole abhisekham.
Such is the love of Krishna for His devotees.
Just before the wedding her husband fell so sick that he was admitted to the hospital. He was unable to retain even water and was throwing up.
Mrs. Bharati says she used to read Krishna Vratam every day for his quick recovery. After 10 days her husband’s health improved.
After getting discharged when her husband came home he started saying ‘Krishna saved my life’. He did not know that Mrs. Bharati was reading the Vratam everyday on his name. He has become an ardent devotee of Krishna and chants Kanna’s name all the time.

A beautiful surprise blessing awaited them after the wedding:
A week after the wedding, Mrs. Bharati took the newly married couple to their family temple of Sri Venkateswara Swamy. The whole family had a beautiful darshan and were returning home.
As it was very hot, on the way they stopped to drink coconut water.
They saw a very old man coming towards them asking for alms.
All of them gave some or other amount.
He collected money from everyone and blessed them all. He crossed them and went behind.
Suddenly her husband said…
‘See Krishna has come and took money from us’.
Immediately they all turned back to look at the old man.
But ….
They could not see anyone. He just disappeared.
As it was empty main road there was no way he could have gone into a lane or behind other vehicles.
Where had He disappeared?

Thinking back they realized that He was smiling broadly and there was a strange glow on His face. Something was different in Him which they could not understand or pinpoint.
Will Krishna allow anyone to identify Him, HE will be cover them with maya.
Blessed is this family that Krishna Himself came to shower His grace.
Blessings on Gayathri:
Mrs. Bharati’s elder daughter Gayathri is also very devoted to Krishna.
She reads Sri Venkateswara Vratam regularly.
When she was in Dubai, one day while reading the vratam she asked Krishna to tell her name through Aditya (Kalpana’s son). At about the same time while Kalpana was taking a nap she saw Gayathri’s name in capital letters with 2 red roses on either side.

One day Kalpana called her and said while she was getting up from her afternoon nap she heard somebody saying ‘LORD KRISHNA IS THE SUPREME SOUL’.
Immediately Gayathri told her that in her mind she constantly chants ‘Lord Krishna is the supreme soul’. May be Krishna was answering Gayathri’s wish of hearing her name as well as connecting with the Supreme Soul.

Do we need to say anything??
Bhagawan is always with His beloved devotees although we may not realise His presence due to maya. We just need to believe and observe our surroundings.
All of us ask for materialistic things but if we pray with complete surrender for His blessings, it will be evident to us.
He will, in one way or the other, show us His presence in our life.
