Ashtapathis
Ashtapadis are never set to a particular raga. It is a Sringara Maha Kavya described in melodious overtures describing various situations of the minds between the Jeevathma (Radha) and Paramatma (Krishna), the Separation "Viraha" and Reunion and the enchanting environment and experiences within. The Ashtapadis themselves are set to beautiful carnatic raagas and these compositions are laced with raagas and therefore describe specific situations which are really very attractive and influence the significance of this sringaram on both the listener and the Bhagavathar singing it.
In the Sampradaya Bhajan Padhathi, Sri.Sadguru Swamigal of Maruthanallur had set out each Ashtapadi in seperate ragas and this is still being followed.
In order to derive the full spiritual benefit, one has to either sing or listen to the full version of each Ashtapadi in a spiritual environment. Mostly this surrounding suits a Bhajana Mandapam where with the accompainments of Mridangam and Violin this is most popular. Ashtapadi Bhajans are very popular where the Bhagavatar sings all the 24 Ashtapadis, including all the slokas. After singing each Ashtapadi it is a practice to offer 'Nivedyam" and Harati before commencement of the next one. This is the traditional method of singing Ashtapadi.
Ashtapathis are sung in all types of Sampradaya Bhajans in South India as well as in all other parts of our Country. Infact, any celestial wedding (yehtothammana Kalyanam) like Radha Madhava Kalyanam, Rukmini Kalyanam, Sita Kalyanam, Padmavathi Kalyanam, Parvathy Kalyanam, Valli Kalyanam etc conducted in the Bhajan Sampradaya, the followed practice for centuries is to sing the 22nd Ashtapadi, which is called the 'Kalyana Ashtapadi' followed by the marriage rituals.
As a Formula the 19th, 21st and 22nd are among the MOST SIGNIFICANT of the Ashtapathis as these signify great importance and of these the 19th is the most revered as explained below:
Ashtapadi No.21 is compulsorily sung in Dolotsavams / Vasanthotsavams signifying that Radha, the Jeevatma, merges with Krishna, who is The Paramatma.
The 19th Ashtapadi is said to have been completed by Lord Krishna Himself, after having come to Jayadeva's house, disguised as Jayadeva himself, when Jayadeva had gone out, gave His darshan to Padmavathy and blessed them. The way this is expressed as Padmavathi saying to Jayadeva when asked who has completed this and Jayadeva replying that he had not let anyone know this composition and this is situated in his heart. Padmavathi then mentions that is the person in his heart is the person who write this. This Ashtapathi has such a devout significance and being sung in that manner makes the Bhagavathar and the listener experience the God within.
The 22nd Ashtapathi as described above is the Kalyana Ashtapathi and when the Radhakalyanam is being performed.
