Episode 123
Devi Priya Experiences
I am truly blessed to be able to write and share the experiences of normal/ regular devotees to whole world. There are so many of them who are blessed by some or other form of their Ista Daivam, but are shy or don’t know where and whom to share. Some of them are also scared that if they tell their experiences people would laugh, make fun or disbelieve them.
We Achyuthan members are really blessed to have been able to hear and read about blessings of people from different regions. Bhagawan (Devi Maa and Kanna) have shown us that She/He do not discriminate between caste and creed, rich or poor to shower Her/ His blessings. They accept the Neivedyam which is offered with devotion by anyone. Strangely I know of many households who eat non-vegetarian but Bhagawan has also shown His presence in their houses. However as soon as we come to Their path, we automatically become vegetarians at least the primary devotee who She/ He loves and graces with Their blessings. The other family members may still be non-vegetarians, but it does not matter to Her/ Him. Numerous examples from our end itself – Kalpana, Geeta, Myself, Raghav, Anil, Hema Kumar etc. So please understand it is our devotion and belief that counts.

Some devotees have consistently told me that their blessings have grown multifold after reading Achyuthan episodes and being part of the group. We don’t want to claim the reason for their blessings but are happy that they are able to amplify their blessings.
One of the above families is Devi Priya and Krishna Dasi…
Recently the Devi Priya did Hanuman vratam. She was praying for a solution to one of her problems and asked why Gods are unable to help her resolve it.
Devi Priya thought Hanumanji would not answer her prayers unless she keeps Lord Rama and Sita’s picture along with His. So brought down the picture of Rama along with Sita and kept near Hanuman idol. She also realised sindoor which is precious to Him was not there with her and thought she would offer next time.

She had guests over in the house and after the puja and they also offered their pranamams to Him.
In the evening while she was cleaning the puja area, she found 8 coins among the flowers she had offered at the feet of Hanumanji. She took them and kept in a separate pocket of her purse thinking that someone must have kept them. And being offered to Hanumanji, she thought she would put in the hundi at the temple next day.
She asked everyone in the house if they had put it there and realised no one from her family had kept them. She even called her aunt who came visiting but she also indicated that she had not done it.
Then how did the coins come there???
Both Krishna Dasi and Devi Priya wondered but then thought they would offer at the temple.
When they went to the temple the next morning, Krishna Dasi asked her daughter to take out the coins and when Devi counted surprise, surprise ……
There were not 8 but…
9 coins.
Devi kept them back in her purse in the same place as before, going against her thought of offering in the hundi.
After coming home, she wanted to take a picture of the coins and when she took them out to her wonder, there were…
10 coins… and on one of them there was sindoor.

She checked her purse turning it upside down to see if there was a chance of coins coming from some other corner of the purse. However, there was no way the additional coins could have added to the original 8.
Realising, that it was blessing of Hanumanji, she immediately called some of her relatives to share the news. All of them advised her to keep the coins back in her bag, hoping that they would increase.
But as she did not want to test the grace of Swamy, she just distributed most of them to her relatives.
When she sent me the message about this experience, I requested for one, and the reply I got was ‘Extremely sorry Amma! We distributed most of them. I don’t have any to give you’.
I said ‘ok, if Swamy wants to give, He would give you again’.
Two days later Devi and her mother were supposed to come to my house to collect something.
Before confirming the time of arrival, she said ‘Amma! My mother said we will give one coin to you, which she had kept it for herself. It is at the feet of Hanumanji. So, when we come, we will give it to you’.
I was extremely happy to have got this coin which was a blessing of Hanumanji.

Surprisingly when they came over Devi narrated one dream to me. Just see how she gets inkling of what is going to happen….
A few weeks before she had a dream in which she saw an answer sheet of an exam paper. She scored 78 marks in it. A lady gave the answer sheet back to Devi after correcting it. One of the questions was asking about me. She wrote a short answer about me and could see the name NALINI very clearly. The teacher / lady awarded 1 mark out of 4 for that answer.
When she discussed with her mother, they assumed that they did not know much about me and hence the teacher gave only one mark.
But when they came to give the coin, they realised that this coin was that 1 mark.

Before this dream she had another dream where she was given some coins by a Guru in a big temple. He completed his puja, came to her and handed over the coins to her. He then asked her to put some of them in her mouth and take the rest home. When she took them from him, the coins turned to sugar. So she wrapped them in a paper and kept it in her bag following his advice wondering why the coins turned to sugar.
Devi messaged me asking for clarification of this dream. I said may be Devi Maa wants her to do puja with coins. I do astothram to Devi Maa with either silver and copper coins. So, I told her to do the same.
When she was searching for the silver and copper coins online, she saw 5 rupee coins printed in 2012 which had Vaishnavo Devi picture on one side. These coins were stopped later by the Government.
As the price of one 5 Rs coin was around 200 to 300 rupees, she thought why she should pay so much. But she had a strong desire to see and hold this coin.

Would not Devi Maa consider Her beloved devotee’s wish???
During Navratri, Devi and her mother, did the puja on all 9 days and on Dasami prepared 53 dishes and offered 53 flowers to Devi Maa.

A few days after the Navratri, just before the Hanuman vratam, Devi was sitting on the floor near a cot teaching her daughter. Suddenly she saw something shining out of the corner of her eye. When she picked it up… can you guess what it is???
It was a blessing of Devi Maa.
It was the same coin which Devi wanted to buy – a 5 rupee coin of Vaishnavo Devi that she saw online.
There was no way anyone could have come to her house and placed it there. They did not have this coin at home.
If they had the coin, she would have desired to buy it online, isn’t it???
