Story of Manjula

Those days a girl used to come regularly to submit flower garland she made that day.  Her name is Manjula.  She comes in before pooja time to have darshan of lord, and then very particular about that. She looked at god as he is her beloved. 

One day she happen to become little bit late and  that day, the holy shrine closed for the day and every one left.  Poor girl started crying.  Then Vilvamangalam swamiyar happen to pass by... He told her not to worry, since lord is present anywhere and everywhere, she should place the garland in the Banyan tree which she readily accepted.  The next day when the head priest cleaning the garlands of yesterday, wondered that two extra were there, and he could not remove them.

Then Vilvamangalam swamiyar who was chanting there, told everyone that Manjula gone to her lord. That is why there were two garlands. Then every one started chanting Narayana Narayan loudly. They heard that Manjula become saint the previous day.
