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 Yathi describes the pitiable state of Lord Shiva who was
undergoing pangs of separation from his consort Goddess Sri Parvati. The supreme Lord whose matted hair locks are
adorned by the crescent moon settled in an enchanting garden on the banks of
river Kampa and recounts the pleasurable moments with Goddess Sri Parvati. Due to the cupid arrows of Lord Manmatha his
auspicious thoughts about Goddess Sri Parvati, daughter of Himavan expressed
were become highly propitious. The
divine couple, who were equally tormented by the pain of separation remains in
a miserable state, Lord Shiva painfully thought about the proud girl, daughter
of Kulachala/Himavan who angrily left after a quarrel consequently caused him
the victim of Lord Manmatha. Lord Shiva
was anxious at the separation Goddess Sri Parvati and withered in burning
desires caused by Lord Manmatha. He
remembers the pleasurable moments he had with her happily moving around,
presently due to the separation he felt intolerable. At certain moments Goddess Sri Parvati in a
rage leave him, the compassionate Lord will follow her and pacifies her and
brings back into her sportive mood. The
moment Goddess Sri Parvati places her lotus feet on the head of Lord Shiva was
felt like veneration and experiences the power of Lord Manmatha. Lord Shiva profusely praises Goddess Sri
Parvati and pleads to show pity on him.
Lord Shiva continuously requests Goddess Sri Parvati who has long dark
beautiful hair which has the resemblances of hue of clouds to return to him and
show mercy on him.
Shiva…Shiva...May the above
verses of grief of Ishwara/Lord Shiva described by Chandrasekharendra Yati, the
passionate devotee of Lord Shiva remain the source of perpetual knowledge.
‘Lord Manmatha ! The conqueror of world, it is
improper to shower your cupid arrows on a powerless person like me. Lest, you have the enmity due to the
calamities caused by me, remember I am completely defeated by the cupid arrows
of you. My mind trembles upon on the
whizzing of honey bees, chirping of cuckoos and I am shrunken with the pain of
burning desires. The shower of flowers of
various fragrances of cupid arrows intoxicates; your power of action produces
wonderful experience. Lord Manmatha, if
you don’t protect me from the pain of separation and the mischief of erratic
movement of corner of eyes and showering of white lotuses, then you will have
the same state of mine.’
