In sringeri during navarAtri suvaasini pUja is a special feature everyday. Once on mahAnavami a lady came with the desire that if she could participate as a suvAsini she would also get a sAri. However on that day the list of suvAsinis to be worshipped had been finalised and she 
did not get an opportunity. She was very sad. Having come though she decided to get chandramouLiswara theertham eat and leave. As sri sri chandrashekhara bharathi mahAswamigal was giving theertha she extended her hand. Seeing the sorrow in her face sri AcharyaL enquired the cause
She narrated the intention in her coming and disappointment. SA asked her to step aside and wait and proceed to give theertha to the others. Almost at the end a brAhmaNa came rushing in and extended his hand. Sensing his anxiety SA asked "where are u coming from?" He said "today
is the last day of navarAtri. Today there would be a special suvaasini pUja here. I had determined to give at least one suvAsini a vastra and went to the town to get to buy it. After buying it i went to the bus stand and found out that the next bus was two hours later. I was very
sad that I will not reach here before the suvAsini pUja. When I reached here i learnt that the pUja is over and it is the time for receiving teertha. I came rushing here. I did not have the praapta to participate in the suvaasini pUja - i don't feel like taking back the sari that
was bought for a suvaasini. Let me do a sramarpaNam of the sAri here. He placed the sAri before SA and performed a namaskAram. SA said "you don't have to be sad. AmbAL herself is waiting for you here" Saying thus He called the lady and asked her to take the sAri. The happiness of
the braahmaNa and the suvAsini knew no bounds. They both then received theertham from srimad AcharyaL
