Clean or dirty, one can chant Hari naamam all the time.
According to Kanna there is no particular time or place for us to think about Him.

Many of us know about Kurooramma Sri Krishna temple near Guruvayoor.
Around 4 years back when Kalpana went to the temple, the caretaker of the temple indicated that he wanted to complete the namaskara mandapam. He said that he was trying to source funds and that he had been meeting different people for this purpose.

However Kalpana told him not to hurry this process as Kanna told her that it was not the right time. Kanna also told her that He had decided on a person and would indicate to her at a later stage. Also this person would single handedly construct the whole thing with his / her money. There was no need to gather funds from different sources. However the caretaker did not give much importance to her words and
approached people for funds.
When the caretaker approached an astrologer, the astrologer was surprised and told him that he is not able to find out the cause of the delay in the construction as he could only see a cloud in front and it was not clear.
When Kanna decided the person would He let anyone foresee what is going to happen???
Despite all his efforts even today the namaskara mandapam is still incomplete. Only Kanna knows who this blessed person is and when the construction would be completed.

Kanna Playfulness:
Recently Kalpana and family went to the beach in UAE as Kanna was insisting that they go there. Seeing the sea Kanna was so happy that He started walking, running and swimming. He enjoyed walking on top of the water and was making yogic poses.

The sea in UAE is normally very peaceful and calm with very few waves.
Suddenly, out of the blue, a big wave came and splashed water all over them and Kanna. He was very wet and very happily laughed.

As it was getting late the family wanted to go home, but Kanna was not ready. After requesting a few times, Kalpana said ‘Ok Kanna. We are going. You come later’.
Just like we say to our kids.
Would Kanna stay back???
He came running hanged on to Kalpana’s little finger and went back home.

Kalpana’s dreams:
One night Kalpana dreamt of a beautiful and big milk ocean. The waves were calm and Sri Maha Vishnu was lying on the Sesha Nag with Lakshmi Devi pressing His legs.
Just like the picture below:

Just like the picture below:
In another of her dreams she saw a very old palace. The walls of the palace were multi-coloured with large motifs and designs. She says she has never seen this type of a palace in any of the pictures.
In the garden, there was a big round gold pot filled with water. All the Gopi’s wearing brown coloured sarees were standing around the pot. Their eyes were lotus shaped.
Kanna who is of 7-8 years was standing inside the pot playing flute. The Gopi’s started throwing water at Kanna trying to bathe Him. Unmindful of all the water, Kanna continued playing the flute enjoying the attention of the Gopi’s.

All the leaves and flower petals were shaped like lotus buds.
She also could see a 17-18 year old Kanna playing flute.

Whatever Kalpana wishes to see in terms of Kanna, He shows her in her dreams.
On another occasion, Kalpana was unable to watch an episode of a Malayalam serial about Radha Krishna. The whole night He showed her His leelas in her dreams with the words playing in the background..
Yada Yada Hi Dharmasya
Glanirva Bhavathi Bharatha
Abhyuthanam Adharmaysya
Tadatmanam Srijami Aham

Another time she saw a very big mountain with a lot of trees and someone in the background telling her that it was Govardhan Mountain.
Shiva Bhagawan Blessings on Kalpana:
On 4th of March 2019 (i.e. on Shiva Rathri) she did a special puja for Lord Shiva. While chanting Maha Mrutyunjaya Mantra along with her family, she heard a very big thud. She wondered from where it was coming.
Suddenly she saw a pair of big feet with thick gold round anklets. The anklets were shaking as is the person was moving. When her eyes moved up she was shocked and mesmerised.
She saw Shiva Bhagawan. His body was pale blue in colour. All around Him were the snow-capped mountains of Kailash.

He was performing Tandava nrutya, dancing very ferociously and very fast. She saw Him digging His Trishula into the sand and throwing the particles into the air.
Parvati Devi who was next to Him tried to join Him but could not catch up to His speed.
Kalpana could feel some vibration in her throat seeing all this and sweetness started coming to her mouth.
She says it was an amazing experience watching Shiva doing His Tandava nrutya.

On another day, it was Narasimha Jayanthi and she along with her kids and cousin went to a friend’s house who is an ISKCON devotee.
All the devotees were engrossed in dancing and singing the glories of Krishna and Narasimha Swamy. Kalpana and her family stood to one side watching them.
Suddenly Aditya turned to Kalpana and said ‘Amma I can feel an earthquake. The building is shaking’. Although Kalpana heard a big thud sound she did not feel any vibrations of the ground.
Aditya then said ‘See Narasimha Swamy is standing in front of us’ and started describing what he was seeing. Kalpana cautioned him to say in a soft voice as she did not want to disturb others as the hosts did not know her blessings.

One more dream where she saw Sri Maha Vishnu and Surya Bhagawan talking to each other and she could hear the voices very clearly.
Unfortunately, as soon as she got up she forgot all the conversation.
She always says that she would try to remember what happens in her dreams but alas as soon as she is awake most of it she would forget.
We are blessed at least she is able to remember a few things which we are able to hear and read.
Thanks to Kanna for making her recollect a few things.
