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 Chandrashekarendra
Yathi describes the pitiable state of Goddess Sri Parvati who was emaciated by
the cupid flower arrows of Lord Manmatha and her desperate state of being
neglected from the amorous sport of Lord Shiva.
The faithful companion of Goddess Sri Parvati was painfully separated by
Goddess while her attempt to pacify.
The faithfully companion of
Goddess Sri Parvati continued “ Oh! Shankari, the supreme Lord Shankara,
destroyer of Tripura has intense desire to have passionate sport with you, he
is enthusiastically waiting for your embrace, share your childlike anger with
him. He is immersed in the thought of
your raised bosom smeared with various fragrances. Oh! Parvati remove the miseries
of the Supreme Lord born out of long separation from you; gift him the nectar
from your lips for a moment. Lord
Shankara desires to redecorate your face with beautiful streamers on your
forehead. The omnipresent Lord Shiva is
in anticipation of you with a pleasing mind to have passionate touches of your
raised bosom. Listen to my words
carefully, look at the gem studded mirror and get yourself dressed zealously
with heap of flowers on your long beautiful plait of hair, embellish your
enthralling hip with the girdle. Oh! Parvati,
supreme Lord Mahadeva will prostrate before you to alleviate his offence, the
cool rays of moon from his matted hair locks will cover up your soft and supple
body to warm up.”
The above verses of
Chandrashekarendra Yathivara describing the grief of Lord Shiva and Goddess Sri
Parvati due to the pangs of separation will provide happiness to the virtuous.
