Sri Venkateswara Vratam Blessings
Episode 86:
As many of you know Kalpana performs Sri Venkateswara Vratam every Ekadasi (suklapaksha).
I have attended the same only once long back.
I always told her that I want to attend again, however due to various commitments was unable to do so Or maybe I was not destined to all this long….
So when she performed this month on 20th with Kanna’s blessings I could attend it.
While sitting over there I could see a beautiful smile on both Kanna and Chittu’s faces.

In addition to me there was one more family who came to attend the vratam.
While reading Purusha Suktam in Sri Venkateswara vratam Kalpana suddenly stopped reading and said:
‘I can see Guruvayoor temple with all lights lit around the sanctum sanctorum (chuttu velaku)’.
I saw the time and it was around 7.45pm Dubai time – around 9.15pm IST.
Those who have visited Guruvayoor would know that at around this time, Kanna is taken around the temple on the elephants and all the diyas around the sanctum santorum would be lit.
She could also see a 20 year old Brahmin looking at her for some time.
He then put his thumb on her forehead as if putting kumkum.
She also saw a 8 to 9 year old Krishna wearing brightly shining ornaments sitting there laughing at her.
It was as if He was saying ‘See Amma I love wearing lots of ornaments’.
And she said sweetness was coming to her mouth from the throat.

I took some sweets and grapes as naivedyam.
As soon as she saw the grapes she said ‘Nalini, only last week I dreamt that someone brought grapes and they were exactly the same colour and size. And I could see honey oozing out from them’.
I was planning to take some apples however when I went to the shop and saw the small brown grapes I suddenly changed my mind.
I felt happy that Kanna had already shown her what was going to happen.
The next day she called me and said ‘while cleaning the plate which had grapes, there was small drops of honey which had formed, exactly the way I dreamt.
It was so sweet that I gathered all the drops and drank them’.
Kanna!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for accepting the naivedyam.

I also bought another packet for my home but none of that happened with these grapes.
As it was late, Kalpana and her family had come over to drop me and when they returned home…
Her husband walked into their room and exclaimed...
What is this Kalpana? What are all these dots? How did they come?
There were a few black dots on the floor here and there.
Kalpana touched it and it was sticky and smelling of Kajal.
She did not know what it was. Unknown to her…
During Navratri as is the tradition in our culture, I give tambulam (haldi, Kumkum, bangles, fruits and small gift) to ladies who we invite home.
I took the same packet for Kalpana too and at the last minute added an Eyetex Kajal box into it.
I know she did not open the packet I gave her and told her to check it when she narrated this to me over phone.
She opened the Kajal box and exclaimed ‘it is smelling the same as the dots on the floor’.
I felt blessed and happy that Kanna opened the packet and played with the Kajal.
What more could I ask for?

While doing so she could see Devi Maa standing in front of her.
She was wearing a light red coloured saree paired with a green blouse.
With different ornaments adorning her (hip chain, armlet, chains and crown) she was holding a Trishulam in her left hand and with her right hand blessing Kalpana.
Kalpana had a sudden wish to see Devi Maa’s hair.
As soon as she had this thought, Devi Maa turned and showed Kalpana Her curly black long hair.
And again sweetness came to Kalpana’s mouth from deep within her throat.

And around a week back, while performing her daily puja, she could see 8-9 year old Kanna standing in front of her.
She put her hand forward to touch His feet and suddenly she could see her hand turning blue.
The colour stayed with her for a few mins and gradually faded.
We have seen earlier also her eyes and body turning blue as well as the Tirunamam appearing on her forehead.
Blessed are the people who were present to witness these miracles in her house.
