Krishna Takes Human Form
Achyuthan family wishes all its readers a very Happy, Safe and Prosperous Deepavali
Episode 5
I was in Hyderabad this week due to my Mother’s ill health. I prayed to Krishna and said I leave her at your mercy and please take care of her.
It was around 5.30 PM on Wednesday (I was coming back to Dubai on the same night), when an old Brahmin came home asking for alms. As soon as I saw him, I had a feeling of Déjà Vu. It was as if I am seeing the Vamana avatar of Lord Vishnu in front of me…
The Brahmin was short, limping almost a replica of what we see depicted in the pictures. The only thing missing was the wooden umbrella and kamandalam.
I immediately ran down the steps, offered him some money and took his blessings. I really felt blessed that Krishna answered my prayers.
Blessings of Shirdi Sai Baba...
Many a times we read that Shirdi Sai Baba coming in different forms to bless His devotees. There are umpteen number of Baba’s sightings in various forms.
Kalpana on one of her visits to Kerala was also blessed by Shirdi Sai Baba…
One afternoon, she was alone at home in her relative’s house.
Knock…Knock…Knock…
She went and opened the door and saw a Fakir in white dress standing at the door.
As she was all alone, she was scared and asked him what He wanted.
He asked for some bhiksha. She searched the wallet and found only Rs.5 coin which she handed over to him. Giving her a bright smile He blessed her and left. Kalpana observed that He was carrying a long stick and a yellow bag with a lot of Marathi alphabets. She wondered why He was carrying bag with Marathi alphabets that too in Kerala. Understandably, she could not recognize him.
After her husband returned home she described the Fakir. Suresh immediately said it would be none other than Shirdi Sai Baba. Immediately she ran into the Puja room and was left speechless.
Although a picture of Sai Baba was in the Puja room, she never observed it and realized it was Him who came home and blessed her.

Bolo Sri Sachidanandha Sadguru Sainath Maharaj ki jai
Although we hear and see leelas of different Gods did you ever hear them taking a human form??
May be, May be not…
This is what happened in Kalpana’s life. Not once but twice….
It is a habit for Kalpana to stand at the window to see her son’s return from the school in the school bus and would wave to him from the window.
Those days, they used to stay on the fourth floor.
That day, she was busy cleaning the house and saw that there was five more minutes for Aditya’s return. For a moment, she felt a presence passing by, but did not pay much attention to it…
She continued with her work…
After a few moments she heard the doorbell ring and realised that she missed her son’s return.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Aditya looking at her sadly.
She was surprised at the expression on his face and asked him what was the reason for his sadness.
The routine is that, as soon as she sees him getting down from the bus, she would open the door and welcome him.
He asked her ‘why didn’t you open the door?’
Kalpana was bit surprised and replied ‘I was cleaning the house and hence missed seeing your return Achhu’.
But Aditya told her that, ‘I saw you at the window waving to me’.
When she denied that, he said, ‘I saw you in the same dress waving to me from the window’.

Shocked Kalpana said ‘No I was cleaning the house and did not see you’.
After some probing about what he saw, Kalpana remained perplexed.
Later in the evening she prayed to Lord Krishna and requested to show who Aditya saw waving to him while she was working.
Kalpana has the habit of opening Narayaneeyam when in need for answers.
When she opened the Narayaneeyam she got the page ‘Akrura seeing Lord Narayana’ which gave a clear indication that Krishna took her form that day. (Dasakam 73).

In another occurrence....
Aditya missed school one day due to ill health and stayed at home.
In UAE, children need to submit a letter of absence the next day if they miss school.
However, Aditya forgot to take the leave note from his parents. As soon as the class teacher came to the class Aditya started apologising…
‘Madam, sorry I forgot to get the leave note from my mother, I will get it tomorrow’.
‘Aditya why would you need to bring the leave note from your mother?’ asked the teacher.
Aditya replied, ‘Madam, I did not attend school yesterday as I was not well’.
Teacher asked Aditya, ‘Are you joking with me? Yesterday you were in the school, why you are saying that you missed the school??’
The poor child insisted ‘No Madam, I did not attend school yesterday’.
Irritated at this, the teacher asked other children from his class ‘Kids, did Aditya attend school yesterday?’ His classmates replied in affirmative and said he was with them throughout the school hours. To reconfirm, teacher also showed Aditya, the attendance register on the laptop where in his school Id was swiped.
A shocked Aditya came home perplexed and reported the same to Kalpana.
No wonder the child was mystified as he was only 13 years old in 8th standard.
Now tell me, who do you think is the person, who attended the school that day on behalf of Aditya???
Guess…Guess…Guess
It’s True…Lord Krishna himself had taken the form of Aditya.
Blessed are the students with whom Krishna sat, played and attended school that day in the form of Aditya.
Oh Krishna!!! Truly, your leelas are amazing.
HARE KRISHNA
