   Shivanand Pandey ‘Premesh’ is famous for his inspiring, emotional, spiritual, poetries in Garhwali and at the same time showing the reality of political and bureaucratic corruptions at low level in the rural Garhwal. 
          Shivanand Pandy was born in 1933 in a Himalayan village Toranu , Khas Patti of Tihri Garhwal. Since, Shivanand belongs to the area of Chandrabadani temple, Shivanand is influences by spiritual importance of Chandravadani and the influence is visible in his poems.
       Shivanand Pandey published two collections of Garhwali language poems - ‘Ujjyali’ and ‘Chandravadani Chalisa’. 
          In ‘Ujjyali, most of the poems of Shivanand are related to subjects of rural Garhwal and most of the poems are inspirational ones, as:
Gadhwali gaurav tab dainu holu 
Jab bhala sahitya ka srijan holu
                            The poems of Sivanand Pandey as ‘Chal beta ghar  jaula’ are also inspirational . Many poems as ‘ gadhdesi yojana’ deal with wrong happenings in Garhwal and he showed the discriminations by planning officers for Garhwal and carrying out more developmental works in the plains than hilly areas :
Sabhi bharti yojana aundi rain 
Gadhdesi yojna tapraundi rain 
…
Swatantrata prakash maidani raige 
Pyaru Garhwal hamari ini raige

चल बेटा घर मेरी मांमु जौला

चरणु मा वींका सर झुकौला

सर झुकैक आशीष पाउला

छाती की छाया मा तब वींकी रौला।

त्वे माँमु छोड़िक परदेश औलू

दिन रात तेरी याद मा रौलू

.......

तेरी माँकी आंख्यों मा जब आंसू आला

रोई रोइक वींका कंठ सूखी जाला

थुनमुन थुनमुन तू वींम जैक

तू वींकी आंख्यौं आंगुळी लगैक

भैर की और हाथां दिखैक

बाबा जी आला अब चिजी लेक

ना लो मम्मी ना लो मम्मी तू आन्छु लैक

मी तै भिटै दी तू छाती लैक
