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.
In this verse Sri
Chandrasekharendra Yati describes the blissful state of Goddess Sri Parvati
after listening to the nectar like words of her faithful companion about Lord
Shiva’s plea to get rid of her anger and not to keep any ill feelings towards
him for the mistake he has committed, eventually his disclosure of helplessness
to live without his consort and revelation of abundance of love.
Lord Shiva spoke “ Oh! Parvati
who has enchanting eyes resemblance to red lotus, consort of Siva, I am taking
shelter in you virtuous one, get rid of your anger and hatred towards your
refugee. Remove my miseries caused by
the cupid flower arrows of Lord Manmatha, look at me through the corner of your
beautiful lotus eyes which releases cool rays that are extremely captivating
during our passionate sport. Your
passionate touch on my body alleviate the heat, your passionate touch on my
heart with a gentle smile would follow multiple cool rays of moon, when you place
the strings of flowers on my matted hair locks would results my brilliance
outshine Ganga surrounded by the cluster of lotuses, embellish your raised
bosom with the fine pieces of jewels, you are unfathomable like river Gaga who
is streaming down from the peaks of Mount Himalaya. Oh! Parvati my life would be fruitful when
you alleviate the pain of separation with a look through the corner of your
eyes, shed your anger with me and it has already borne its produce. Oh!
Parvati, give me the nectar from your lips which has the power to suppress the
passion created by the cupid flower arrows of Lord Manmatha, cast away my
innumerable offences and share your knowledge of amorous sport with me I have
come in pursuit of you. You are
indifferent to me, keep your raised bosom on me and bite me with your sharp
teeth while you embrace that would be a lesson for me. The dearest daughter of Himavan, do not
ignore the poor in me exhausted due to the pain of separation and utter
desolation, I shall serve you all my life, and consequently all my offences would
be forgiven.”
The above verses of
Chandrashekarendra Yati, ardent devotee of Lord Shiva praising the appeasing
words of Lord Shiva to his consort Goddess Sri Parvati, daughter of Himavan
would fulfill the desires of His devotees.
