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 desperation of Goddess Sri Parvati out
of separation from her consort Lord Shiva; further she spoke to her faithful
companion in utter desolation about the amorous sport of Lord with young maiden
who has no shelter in the forest on the river banks of Kampa. Her enthralling feet surpasses the beauty of
red lotuses that was devoured by Lord; she was emaciated by the cupid flower
arrows of Lord Manmatha. Lord Shiva
decorates her beautiful long curly hair with the fresh alluring flowers of
various fragrances that was surrounded honey bees. Her unparalleled beauty and physical features
attracted him frenziedly; he applies musk on her body and raised bosom which
devour his intellect, he decorates her with jewels and flower buds. Her beautiful face with radiant smile, shining
teeth and attractive lips were arrested Him, resulted in drawing strange
pictures on her face with the sandal paste.
Lord Shiva engrossed in the riveting beauty of the young maiden in the
moonlight, her golden colored clothes slipped off from its place which revealed
the beauty of her thin waist decorated with finest jewels. Lord Shiva engaged in the amorous sport
with the young maiden who has raised bosom, devouring the sweet scented nectar
from her lips, finding immense pleasure in her lovely face and gives out a
smile in forlorn, eventually the couple engaged in a passionate sport in the
moon light and gentle breeze.
The above verses of Sri
Chandrasekharendra Yativara, ardent devotee of Lord Shiva would dispel the dreadful
sins of His devotees.
Further Goddess Sri Parvati
reveals her anxiety surmounted by despair and uncontrollable desire for Lord
Shiva to her faithful companion, worries about the absence of Lord Shiva;
ultimately she pacifies herself with the promising thoughts about Lord’s return
and taking shelter in her.
