Why Achyuthan was started - 2
Episode 19
Part - 2
Although I had read Kalpana’s story and knew she is living in the same country as I do, I neither knew her identity nor had her contact details.
Sometime in August / September 2015, a friend revealed her name and I immediately contacted her through FB messenger and later on phone.
I wonder how our Unni Krishna plans and sets the path for us to follow…
One day when I was chatting with Murali he suddenly said ‘why don’t you start a WhatsApp group for likeminded people’?
Although spiritual in nature, I was never into daily ritual of Naama japam or spending lot of time sitting before the God, except when doing Santoshi Maa Vratam.

One day when I was chatting with Murali he suddenly said ‘why don’t you start a WhatsApp group for likeminded people’?
Although spiritual in nature, I was never into daily ritual of Naama japam or spending lot of time sitting before the God, except when doing Santoshi Maa Vratam.
I was wondering what was going on and he said ‘When I was in temple on Thursday it just flashed my mind. I was asked to tell you. My part is done. My role was to tell you’.
The interesting thing was he started naming people who had to be in the group, mine and his common friends as well as Bala Krishna & family.(Krishna meant Kalpana and her family).
He spoke about the purpose and the activities of the group and then suddenly said ‘Krishna has decided you should do it’.
Imagine my shock and said ‘what?’
‘I will be there with you every step... but as a shadow’.

Imagine my shock and said ‘what?’
‘I will be there with you every step... but as a shadow’.
Then he started enlisting the process of what activities, members, website etc. He also specified this should be solely a non-profit spiritual organisation. The purpose of the group is to undertake religious and spiritual activities.
He wanted the group to start with FIVE members and called them PANCHA BOOTHAS. The names of whom He had suggested, they are available on the website.
‘Draft a proposal and I will review it’.
I was only thinking my brother Murali was suggesting all these and hence was upset with this statement and said ‘you started this topic and hence you draft the proposal.’
In reply, He said ‘I am the Chetana’.
And when I said ‘you are the karta too’….
His response was ‘Jaganmatha is the Karta, Karma and Kriya. She will choose who will do what. Your role has been assigned. She has started, you have to accept it. Start with the Bala Krishna family' .

By this time I was thoroughly confused and did not know what was happening.
Then came the picture of small bowl.
I asked him if it was butter and he said yes.
This conversation went on for more than an hour.
Suddenly Murali sent me a message asking why I had not replied to his messages.
I said ‘who are you talking to?’
The reply shocked me to the core… ‘you only akka’.
I asked ‘where were you?’
‘I was taking bath and doing puja’
Taking the previous conversation forward I said Kalpana’s phone was busy and hence I could not talk to her.
He was surprised and asked what I was talking about. When I explained, he asked me why I was telling him about Kalpana.
It was the most funniest and strange conversation I had in my life.
Then he explained that he was not online for last one hour, and that his phone was not with him but was getting charged in his mother’s room.
I asked who was chatting with me all this while. When I think back, his reply was not surprising.. ‘I don’t know’.
I asked him to check his last message and what he sent me was from a previous conversation.
Doubting his answer, I again asked him and sent him some of the excerpts of the conversation.
He was offended and said…
‘You are a gone case and your madness has reached its peak’.
That was the end of the conversation for that day.
The next day again the communication came….
I am only writing what HE specified and not the entire conversation (I was asking Him questions on what to do)
‘Why should Krishna help you, be prepared to see what is reality... your ignorance will not help you. Look around for reality’.
'Aham Brahmasmi ’

'Aham Brahmasmi ’
When this started, I knew it was be Our Krishna communicating with me…
'Rise above your self-conscious then you will see what is real. Only two things are real, taking birth and death, in between all you see is maaya (illusion). To walk through this maaya you need your Krishna. One day you ignore then you go back 10 steps’.
I asked whom was I talking to…
‘To yourself, realise, the sense of belongingness should go, you will then see me everywhere. Be grateful to all, I live there also. Accept the bad of every one, bliss will find you. How can I bless myself? I am in you, in every one’.
When I asked what my role would be...
His reply was…
‘Everyone has come to this world as a part of Jaganmatha grand plan. I am a servant at her feet, she plans and I do. All humans are like raw stones one small, one big. Jaganmatha is the architect. I am the sculptor. My job is to chisel away rough edges of the stone, beat it, hammer it, grind it, and put through all the hardships to make a fine piece of art. The harder I hit the better is the result… One ends up in temple and other as art pieces. I want everyone to be worshipped. If I don't hit hard or if I feel why should I do it, then the world will forget our creator. Sarvejanaa Sukhinobavanthu’.

By now I was completely assured that it was Our Unni Kanna who was communicating with me all the way.
Lastly I asked Him ‘Will you bless me by giving Darshan’?
The answer was ‘How will I bless myself. Pray to my Jaganmatha. She will, I am just a path to her.’
When I said I wanted to feel His presence in my house the reply was…
‘Touch your daughter. Touch yourself. I am there everywhere’.
I immediately called Kalpana and narrated the whole thing. And that was the start of my journey into this Krishna path and the reason for starting Achyuthan.
The name ‘ACHYUTHAN’ was also suggested by Krishna himself.
I was contemplating on the name and sleeping, suddenly I got a flash ‘Achuu’. That is how Adithya is called at home. When Kalpana asked Krishna he suggested ‘ACHYUTHAN’.
Achyutham means Immortal.
Achyutha is another name of Vishnu and appears as the 100th and 318th names in the Vishnu sahasranama. It is also often used in the Bhagavad Gita as a personal name of Krishna.

I started offering milk to Krishna. Immediately I got a message saying ‘I don’t like your food’.
The reason being…
I was offering cold milk without sugar straight from the fridge.
None knew this except me and Krishna.
Is this not enough proof for me to believe all the messages were from our beloved Unni Kanna?
I started offering boiled milk and everyday my Unni Kanna takes it.

This communication continued two to three times at different intervals.
HE showed His love as well as His annoyance to me through the messages.
I can only say I feel blessed to have been chosen both by Jaganmatha as well as Krishna to be a part of the Achyuthan.
Being a devotee of Santoshi Maa (who is also a form of Jaganmatha) from so many years, I have seen some miraculous coincidences in my life.
I certainly believe I am blessed by Her as well as by my Unni Kanna.
Thank you Maa and thank you Krishna for your blessings.
Lastly…
We would like to bring into light, experience of devotees who after joining Achyuthan have seen miracles happening in their lives.
The names of the devotees will only be revealed if they permit us to do so, else I would only write their experiences to show how Krishna is showing HIS blessings on His devotees.
