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.
Om Nama Shivaya

In this verse Sri
Chandrasekharendra Yati describes the pangs of separation of Goddess Sri
Parvati, eventually this message was delivered through a faithful companion of
Goddess Sri Parvati to Lord Shiva.
‘Shiva/Shankara your Shailaja is
in utter desolation, she refuses to wear the Gem studded necklace as if it
generates flames on her chest, and she feels the bright moonlight torturing her
body. She looks so pale out of extreme
grief, walking surrounded by the young maidens her head hung down in
despair. She often gets agitated and
depressed eventually ignore her faithful companions. She keeps uttering the names of Lord Shiva
with extreme anguish. Shailaja
disregards the nectar of various fruits as poison; she is completely immersed
in your thoughts. You are the companion
of suffering people, earnestly prays not
to be indifferent to Goddess Sri
Shailaja who is in utter despair, if you are not compassionate to her your name
Shankara would be meaningless. She
refuses to wear invaluable fragrances on her body due to the separation from
you. I earnestly request you to show
sympathy and affection on her through the corner of your lotus eyes.’
The above said auspicious verses
on Goddess Sri Shailaja composed by Chandrasekharendra Yativara bring happiness
to all virtuous people.
