Jai Sriman Narayana !!
Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!
Shiva Gitimala was composed by
Jagadguru Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi ( 62nd Seer of Sri
Kanchi Kamakoti Peedam), it consists of 20 enthralling verses known as
Ashtapadi praising the pleasurable moments of Lord Ekamreshwarar and Goddess
Sri Kamakshi. This beautiful composition
portraits the desperation, devotion and dedication, of individual soul/Jeevathma,
attain union with the Supreme soul/Paramathma in order to achieve eternal bliss. Shiva Ashtapadi/Shiva Gitimala begins with
the veneration of Lord Ganesha. The
entire verses illustrate the miserable state of separation of Goddess Parvathi
from Lord Shiva. Goddess Sri Parvati
underwent severe penance on the river banks of Kampa in order to unite with the
Lord Shiva. The divine couple undergoes unbearable
pain of separation; Lord Shiva came down to Earth and resides under a mango
tree where Goddess Sri Parvati undertakes penance was observed by faithful
companion of Goddess and was duly informed.
The state of remorsefulness, desertion, guilt and the messages exchanged
through the companion of Godess Sri Parvati etc.. are beautifully depicted in
the Ashtapadi. Ultimately Lord Shiva
appears before Goddess Sri Parvati and apologizes profusely, after an initial
harshness between the couple and blissfully unites.
