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 the previous chapters Sri Chandrasekharendra
Yathi described the pitiable state of Goddess Sri Parvati due to the pain of
separation from her consort Lord Shiva, eventually her misconception about
Lord’s amorous sport with the young maiden.
She was extremely annoyed by the lack of attention of Lord Shiva; she
was shrunken by the cupid flower arrows of Lord Manmatha and converse in
extreme bitterness with her faithful companion.
Ultimately, Goddess Sri Parvati realized the presence of Lord who leans
down before her with a proposal to alleviate the felony committed by him.
Goddess Sri Parvati angrily spoke
“Your red eyes unveils the story of the amorous sport with the young maiden, you
still protect her in your third eye due to the obsession towards her and the pleasure she had given which is like
nectar mixed with poison which is far from Vedic nuance. The flower garland smeared with vermillion
due to the nearness of her raised bosom on your wide chest reveals the amorous
sport you had with the young maiden, marks of her sharp finger nails all over
your body reveals the excitement you had during the passionate sport. The crescent moon has changed its position
on your matted hair locks, your beautiful lips and mouth has become red in
color shows the height of your passionate love with the young maiden and it
raises my anger. You are immersed in the
thought of her enthralling red feet which caused you shine red reveals your
uncontrollable attachment towards her.
Your kind words remind me the pleasurable moment of yours with the young
maiden and it is haunting me. Your
shattered matted hair locks tied with the strings of flowers of Kalpaka tree
shows the mischievous and passionate sport of yours. “ Goddess Sri Parvati closely observes the
strange appearance of Lord Shiva before her and misread them as evident mark of
Lord’s passionate sport with the young maiden.
The above verses of
Chandrasekharendra Yathi, ardent devotee of Lord Shiva describes the appearance
of Lord Shiva before Goddess Sri Parvati would bring happiness to wise.
