Kalpana’s Experiences & A Tribute
The last one week – exactly a week - has been a roller coaster experience for many of us Achyuthan members.
Many of us still cannot get a grasp of how, what and why it happened.
Life has to however move on…
As you all know Kalpana reached the lotus feet of Unni Kanna on May 16th 2020.
She was sick for a week or so which most of us were unaware of.
We still don’t know the reason why it all happened but can only say Kanna felt the need to be with His favourite mother and hence taken her to His abode, Vaikunta.
There are no two questions about it.

Although we with heavy hearts, misty eyes, miss her physical presence….
She must be serving Him now with lots of love.
A very protective mother, a dedicated wife, a good friend, an approachable spiritual guide and above all a loving Krishna devotee who dedicated her life to her Kanna.
She would not put a morsel of food or a drop of water in her mouth without first offering to Kanna.
Her day used to begin and end with Kanna.
If I go on and on there is so much to share.

Some of us who have interacted with her regularly also know she faced many ups and downs in many spheres of her life but always bounced back and guided who ever asked for advice.
A number of miracles that happened in her life have gone with her. We were planning to write a book with all her experiences - few experiences Krishna allowed to share with the world and some He would not give permission. We always thought when the time comes, He would let us put it on paper and share with the world of devotees.
Unfortunately, now this is a distant dream… but I hope and pray will become a reality in some other form.
A few experiences that she had shared which I was supposed to write in the past week – I could not do so due to work pressure – I am sharing today.
End of March, she was doing Shuba Durga vratam then suddenly…

End of March, she was doing Shuba Durga vratam then suddenly…
Chittu (Chittumaa for Kalpana) came to her wearing pink long skirt and a blue blouse. Dressed up prettily, She stood near Kalpana till the vratam was over and then gave a big hug.
Kalpana requested Chittu to sit next to her, and as soon as She took the seat Kalpana could see….
The two naughty kids coming …
Kanna and Gannu, sitting on either side of Chittu with stretched legs.
As they travelled all the way, poor baby Gannu was tired rested his head on Chittu’s shoulder and slept.
Although Kanna had some place to move around, he being naughty was playing disturbing Chittu.

Irritated, Chittu gave a small slap to Kanna, which made him cry for a few minutes and later He also slept like Gannu.
After Kalpana finished her japam, she started reading Bhagavat Geeta.
As soon as He heard it, Kanna woke up with a big yawn, looked at Kalpana and gave a big smile.

To appease Gannu, Kalpana told him that she would perform His vratam when she gets it. Hearing it Gannu happily shook His trunk.
After the puja, Chittu told that they have to leave and all three merged into one and disappeared.
Later the small Kanna who is always with her sat on her left shoulder trying to get her attention.

Chittu started visiting Kalpana from the past few months.
On one of Her visits, She sat next to Kalpana while she was doing japam. Kalpana could see Chittu chanting something, but could not hear any sound, only Chittu’s lips moving.
A curious Kalpana asked Chittu what she was chanting and suddenly…
Kalpana heard Gayatri mantra.

Chittu gave a big smile and sat till Kalpana completed her prayers.
She then got up, danced around Kalpana for some time, told her that She was going back and like a tornado disappeared into thin air.
What an incredible experience it must have been…
Will continue a few more experiences next week….
