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 Chandrashekhara
Yathi describes the dialogues of the faithful assistant of Goddess Sri Parvati
to the Mother of the Universe “ Oh ! Goddess Sri Parvathi, you are immersed in
the thought of the charismatic form of Lord Shiva who has the brilliance of
millions of Manmathas, beautiful third eye on his forehead and it has the power
to crush the ego of young maidens, he is settled in a garden on the river banks
of Kampa. Your compassionate consort of
Lord Shiva is in a miserable state due to the pangs of separation from you and
cries to remove the afflictions caused by Lord Manmatha at the time of gentle
breeze splatter on his body. He
experiences the strong fragrances of scented water with solid camphor on his
body when the gentle breeze from the Mount Malaya embraces him; due to the
irresistible pain he curses Lord Manmatha.
Lord Manmatha exemplifies appealing pictures of you was witnessed with a
spontaneous delight by him was distracted by the gentle breeze from Mount
Malaya. Lord Shiva expresses his grief
looking at your marvelous features, pleading your presence which would help him
to recover from the pain of separation and raise his spirits on your raised
bosoms. Your little voice while singing
along with the cuckoos reveals the utter grief in you. The sparkling waters of river Kampa and the
sweet scented pollen from the lotuses wedged on the chest of Lord Shiva
increases the pain in him; he did not even realize the dripping waters from
Ganga from his matted hair locks. The
beautiful eyed Goddess Sri Parvati, your consort is in utter desolation due to
the separation from you and every second seems to be Yuga and Kalpa for him,
his silly mistakes committed seems to be serious for him, therefore shower
mercy on him.” Goddess Sri Parvati after listening to the
wretched state of Lord Shiva caused by Lord Manmatha described by her
companion, the mother of Universe immediately entered in to her creeper
hermitage with graceful steps and a pleasing smile on her lips. The faithful companion who was in the midst
of the sporting fight between the divine couple sincerely wished for the
reunion of the couple and their happiness.
Shortly, she conveyed the state of Goddess Sri Parvati to Lord Shiva.
The above verses of Sri Chandrasekhara
Yathi describes the delusion born out of separation in Lord Shiva who is attired in elephant skin
would shower all the happiness to his worshipper.
