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 Goddess Sri Parvati
out of pangs of separation from her consort Lord Shiva. Goddess Sri Parvati earnestly prays to Lord,
love of her life residing under the foot of mango tree in an utter desolation
out of separation from her and equally tortured by the cupid flower arrows of
Lord Manmatha to show mercy on her. The
young maiden who had sported with the Lord has beautiful feet which resembles
red lotuses enable to cross the bondages/ world of ocean, she has the noble
qualities and her radiant smile has the resemblance to moon creates positive
vibes in the surroundings, Lord Shiva who was withered with the cupid flower
arrows of Lord Manmatha has the incomparable passion sported with that
woman. Goddess Sri Parvati assumes that
Lord Shiva who has beautiful matted hair locks and divine marks on his forehead
where the deities resides, reveling with the young woman with full of passion
with no pangs of separation from her.
The above verses of Sri
Chandrasekharendra Yathi describes the amorous sport of Lord Shiva provides
happiness to All.
Further, Goddess Sri Parvati
prays to the gentle breeze from Mount Malaya to bring sweet scented smell of
the Supreme Lord Shiva for a moment.
