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 delusion of Goddess Sri Parvati out of
extreme pain of separation from Lord Shiva.
She believes that Lord Shiva is having pleasurable time with a virtuous
young maiden who is equally suffering from the pangs of separation from her
devotee due to the cupid flower arrows of Lord Manmatha. The charming young maiden has raised bosom
and stunning physical features with alluring fragrances and gem studded
necklace on her chest, her devotee playing on her thin waist with amorous
sport. Her beautiful lips covered with
nectar are passionately swallowed by her enthusiast; her attire from hip is
misplaced due to their amorous sport on the soft bed of flowers, her eyes are
half closed immersed in the sport, she is finding immense pleasure in their
sport and remains tightly embraced, passionately falls on the glorious broad
chest of her devotee and the quiver of flowers on her beautiful curly long hair
doubled her happiness. Goddess Sri
Parvati enquires moon about the partiality of its radiant rays to the pleasing
couple of Chakora birds and the women who lives in the heaven enjoys the
presence of their enthusiast. She
complains the unkind attitude of moon towards her while she was experiencing
the pangs of separation from her consort.
Further, Goddess Sri Parvati impatiently waiting for her consort to be
back in her hermitage, she is in utter delusion thinks that Lord Shiva who has
Goddess Ganga on matted hair locks taking pleasure in the amorous sport with
the young maiden who bears the sweet scent of the pollen of flowers, Goddess
Sri Parvati expecting him to be back with the smear of her vermillion powder
all over him. The gentle breeze and cool
rays of moon torturing Goddess Sri Parvati, she blames the associates of Lord
and messenger of demons that has horrific form has created the dilemma.
The above verse of Sri
Chandrasekhara Yathi provides perpetual happiness to the virtuous.
