Achyuthan
– ‘Experiences of Achyuthan members (1)
- Anil’
Episode 20
As you all know in addition to the five core members, we have a team of dedicated professionals who voluntarily take out their time to work on the website as well as contribute in everywhere possible.
Without their support, I am sure we would not have made it this far and we would not have been able to bring out the Krishna leelas happening at Kalpana’s house.
The work on website started in Sept 2016 and within four months our technical team has done a wonderful job. Thanks to all these dedicated members. I can only say these were chosen by Krishna to make Achyuthan happen. Else why would it take so much time to start it? Our website was registered in Nov 2015 but only after Kalpana came to Hyderabad in July 2016 the actual work started.
None of us had an idea that these five members would be part of Achyuthan team. They came to attend Sri Venkateswara Vratam which was performed at Mrs.Shobha Dhontireddy's house and as destined they met Kalpana on that particular day.
But then it was all our Unni Kanna’s grand plan. And the rest as they say is history.
Many Achyuthan members as well as devotees who visit/ visited Kalpana’s home have been experiencing the miracles of Krishna. Unni Kanna is showering His blessings and love on all of us.
We would like to bring to light many a blessing that devotees experienced and are experiencing.

The first of the series..
I am starting with Anil Kumar Jagileti, who works in Bangalore as an IT professional.
This divine incident happened just after 10 days of starting our website Achyuthan.com.
On October 10th, 2016:
Anil went to visit his parents in his village and was at his parent’s shop. A small boy aged around 8 to 10 years came to him and asked for some money. He explained that his sister's marriage was on 14th October and that he did not have enough money to get back to his home which was around 30 kms from Anil’s village.
The boy was carrying few wedding cards with him.
Anil took the wedding card from the boy and was both shocked and surprised…
Can you guess why??
The names of the bride and groom were….
KALPANA and SURESH

KALPANA and SURESH
Seeing the names Anil was felt very happy and gave him enough money so that boy could reach his place safely and returned back the wedding card too.
Now...
Why would a boy of 8 -10 years be roaming around carrying wedding cards of his sister?
Will any parent allow or send a child to invite relatives or friends that too far away from their own village???
And that too in our Indian culture???
Unless ...
It was Krishna who wanted to shower His blessing on the chosen person.
Anil was anxious and sweetly surprised to have seen our Kalpana’s and her husband names and immediately messaged Kalpana.
Anil’s description of the whole process…
‘Apart from marriage details, Mother Parvathi and Lord Parameshwara images were there on the wedding card. The boy was carrying a white bag on his shoulder with few wedding cards in it. The boy was of dark complexion and was wearing a white shirt and shorts’.

After a gap of 10 to 15 minutes, Kalpana replied to Anil giving him the biggest surprise of his life.
What Kalpana said was..
‘I asked my Unni Kanna, He said it is HE only who came to you in the form of a boy. My beloved KRISHNA. His Leelas are unimaginable Anil. I asked Kanna ‘why did you ask for money?’ Then my LORD said ‘to buy konakam (waist cloth).’

As soon as he received this message, Anil went in search of the boy.
Do you think He would be seen or available? Poor Anil had to come back disappointed.
When I discussed this divine and blessed incident of Anil with Kalpana, when she asked him if He had bought the konakam, Unni Kanna very naughtily replied ‘the amount Anil gave me was not enough to buy konakam’.
Oh Kanna... Do you really need money to buy konakam for yourself?
How sweet you are, trying to test your devotee's devotion through your maaya.
See how our Kanna test His devotees. He can come in any form, be it a bird, an animal or a human. We just need to be conscious and aware of Him.
When I visited Hyderabad in the Nov 2016, keeping the Konakam incident in mind, Anil wanted to gift a konakam to Kalpana’s Unni Kanna. But as that is not available the next best thing is the mundu (dhoti) which he wanted to buy.
Although he searched for mundu in few places in Hyderabad he could not get it. May be our Unni Kanna wanted something particular. After checking so many shops Anil found the perfect one at Skandagiri temple (Secunderabad) and that too, it was only one available.
Doubting whether Krishna would like it or not, he gave it to me and asked to gift it to Kalpana.
Even before I could pass on this gift to her, Our Unni Kanna showed the same to Kalpana in a dream and told her "Amma! I like that mundu and I want to wear it".
Will Our Krishna deny or not accept any offering by a devotee when given with such a lot of devotion?
Oh Kanna! You show so much of love on your devotees, when one is on Your path You never leave them at any point of time, although You test their faith in different ways.
After my return to UAE, when Kalpana came to my home, I gave her the mundu. Seeing it, Kalpana was very much surprised and told me about her dream. I am very happy that I was involved in this divine process.
See, how much our Unni Kanna is happy wearing the Mundu that Anil gifted…

I feel blessed that Anil accompanied me when I went to Udipi last month (Jan 2017). We had such a wonderful darshan. And for Anil this was his first visit to Udipi.
We were planning to skip having prasadam (lunch) at the temple as it was late and my aunts who came with us could not climb the stairs to the lunch hall. Although one or two people asked us to go and have lunch we avoided seeing the big queue, the rush and the condition of my aunts. We only waited to take the prasadam from Periyavar for the puja tickets we brought.
But our Unni Kanna had some other plans and see his leela. Our Kanna made sure that we had HIS prasadam. In Udipi temple, lunch is served on the first floor only (Most of the temples in Karnataka serve free prasadam of breakfast or lunch to devotees who visit).
My aunts had no choice but to climb the first floor to collect the prasadam from Periyavar.
When we went and stood in the queue to take the prasadam, one of the pontiff’s from the mutt insisted we have lunch before taking the prasadam from Periyavar. Although we were reluctant he took us to a separate hall reserved for some guests and made sure we sat down to have our Unni Kanna’s prasadam.

As we were about to finish lunch, Anil pointed out ‘see who is in front of us’.
What I saw gave me goose bumps...
Our Unni Kanna’s statue with a beautiful smiling face was on the opposite side of the hall to where we were sitting as if observing whether we were eating properly or not.
What more can we ask. HE shows HIS blessing in different ways which we cannot even imagine or guess.
We just need to trust HIM and follow the path HE chose for us whatever might be the circumstances.
Love YOU KRISHNA for blessing us and giving this opportunity to serve you.
