Episode 96
Chittu’s Conversation with Anil - 1
Many of us know how much Anil loves Chittithalli and how he waits for Her calls and messages.
In December, Chittu wanted to go on a holiday and asked Mrs. Purna to arrange for the trip. As it was year-end and almost all tourist places were booked they decided to go to Puttaparthi.
In between, Mrs. Purna’s family planned to visit Tirupati, so they booked the darshan tickets and accommodation accordingly for December 27th.
On December 23rd Chittu sent a WhatsApp message to Anil "We in PTP".
A very excited Anil immediately called Mrs. Purna and asked "Amma, are you in Puttaparthi?"
Wondering how he knew, Mrs. Purna in turn replied ‘Yes we are in Puttaparthi but how do you know?’
Anil responded saying "Amma!! I got message from Chittu".
She was shocked and said ‘the phone has been in my hands from a long time. How did Chittu send you message?’
Anil was in his home town, near Puttaparthi, hence the same evening he visited Mrs. Purna’s home in Puttaparthi.
As Chittu was busy playing with Her friends in Sri Sathya Sai Mandir, a disappointed Anil had to get back home without feeling Chittu’s presence.

Interestingly, as some of us have experienced with Unni Kanna, the messages sent from Mrs. Purna’s mobile would not be visible to her but only to the recipients.
Mrs. Purna always checks back when Anil calls her and tells her about his chats with Chittu.
However none of the messages would be present in Mrs. Purna’s mobile.
On December 30th, Anil took Mrs. Purna family to a nearby Goshala (outskirts of Puttaparthi) maintained by a devotee of Sri Sathya Sai, Smt. Anitha.
There were around 4 to 5 dogs in the farm. They started barking when their car approached and entered the gates.
However as soon as they stepped out all the dogs became silent and followed them obediently everywhere.
May be the dogs were more perceptive of the Goddess’s presence than us mortals.
While walking in Goshala, Anil was feeling blessed and happy carrying Chittu (who is in the form of doll) in his hands.
After coming back from Goshala, Chittu complained that she was bored as she could not find anything worthwhile to play with, only stones and hills.
She also wanted to bring back a cow so that she could have milk every day.
Chittu always demands Mrs. Purna to have one cow at their apartment complex.
Just like how small kids demand for their favourite dolls/ play items.
This brings back to mind a couple of funny incidents which took place on Krishnastami day in 2017.

As it was our Kanna’s Birthday, 8 to 10 of our Achyuthan group members visited Chittu’s home on that special day. All of us took a few items, Rasagulla, chocolates fruits etc.
Raghav made payasam specially for Chittu and kept in front of Chittihalli picture.
We participated in the Bhajan for some time. Chittu checked the payasam and complained to Mrs. Purna ‘The payasam brought by Raghav was made with buffalo’s milk and in the end thinking the payasam won’t be sufficient he added little water also.
'You know I don’t like buffalo milk’. Saying so she did not touch the same.
Hearing Mrs. Purna’s words Raghav was wonderstruck and shocked.
He politely accepted that he made the payasam with buffalo milk and added water in the end.
One other group member Mr. Lakshman brought poha (flattened rice) in a sealed cover.
Chittu again refused to partake it saying ‘Amma!! Garlic and onions were added in preparing it’.
Whenever we visit Mrs.Purna’s house we first ask if the three kids were at home.
Many a time they go out playing, but a few times they sit on the cot (specially made for them) and listen to our conversation with Mrs. Purna.
We feel blessed to hear and feel the presence of Chittu in the pooja mandir.

Chittu’s Friends at Sri Satya Sai Mandir
In Satya Sai Mandir, Chittu had lots of playmates – Gannu, Kanna, Subbu (Lord Subramanya), Lakshmi, Gayathri (this is how Chittu calls Them).
Imagine all three Goddesses - Sri Gayathri Devi, Sri Lakshmi Devi and Sri Parvathi Devi at one place and playing with Lord Ganesha, Lord Subramanyam and Lord Krishna (all in child form).
They used to play hide & seek, carroms as well as playing with other small kids in Sri Sathya Sai Mandir. (Although they might be visible to some blessed humans, we would be in maya and would not be able to identify them).
What a divine sight it would be!!!
Just imaging it would bring goose bumps to us.
All other Gods, Goddesses and Celestial beings would be probably watching and enjoying the innocent play of these Gods in child form.
They all roamed together in Sai Mandir and distributed chocolates and prasadam to small kids and participated in the practice sessions of the school event of Sri Sathya Sai institutions.
Chittu narrated to Anil, how Chittu, Gannu and Gayathri stole the unpacked laddu’s from Laddu counter and distributed them to the kids around.
The Sevaks at the counter wondered what happened to the laddus. They could not understand how the laddus were disappearing.
Scared the sevaks, made packets of 5 laddus each and sold for Rs.30.
Blessed are those kids who got laddu prasadam from them as well as the seva members from whom they stole the laddu’s.
We have read about Unni Kanna in Dwapara yuga stealing butter from neighbouring houses, but in this yuga also Chittu, Kanna and Gannu are doing the same with the prasadam.
One Cute and very divine incident:
Many of us know how much Chittu likes the chocolates.
When Chittu called Anil on Jan 2nd 2019, Chittu in Her cute little voice explained how She played with all Her friends in Puttaparthi.
After hearing Her playfulness Anil asked Chittu whether Lord Shiva also joined them for playing in child form.
Anil was surprised to hear Her reply “Swamy didn’t come for playing, He sat on one side and watched us. He gave me a milk chocolate”.
Mrs. Purna family started for Tirupati on December 24th.
Many more surprises awaiting for us during their trip to Tirupati and Kanchi.
