Bhagwan belonged Kashyapa Gotra.He is also referred as Dyatputra.
His father was from "Dyat " and mother was from the Videha" Gotra. He attained Kewaldyan and Kewaldarshan ( complete--- knowledge and complete vision ).Such vision covers all 3 period --past, present and future for total living and non living substances. It is the power to see all things in right and correct ways called as "Kewaldarshan".
With this rare achievement Bhagwan knew sufferings of all living souls from all directions and guided them for right path to get rid of from all sufferings and sorrows. Hence Bhagwan was called to be a "Khedadnya". He used his life term for purification of own soul soul and guided masses for how to do it for them in most possible efforts.
Reciting it is treated as "Swadhaya" The composition got the name from it's starting word "Puchhisunam " which means to ask. Once some saints and top personalities asked Sudharmaswamiji, the details of founder of this great religion- "Jain Dharma"----- Pujya Bhagwan
Mahveerswami.To their reply this composition was being composed.
It is also called "Veer-Stuti" because original name of Bhagwan got changed from Vardhaman to Mahaveer. Maha means great and Veer means warrior. Most difficult war among all wars is war with own soul while removing it's all negative thoughts and actions. It is too difficult and beyond reach of ordinary determination to clear soul. Only a rare great soul like Mahaveera can do it with determination.
Vardhman did war with soul vigorously, within his short life span of mere 72 years hence this composition got name Veer-Stuti .One must read it minimum once on Diwali day.108 times reading is desirable and welcome.It motivate us to follow salvation path of Bhagwan.
Numerous qualities and virtues of Bhagwan are beyond words. So his qualities are being compared with following best entities of total universe covering all categories from various sections in world.

Friends,I was in dual mind for sharing original composition on this
Blog.The reason is that the "Puchhisunam " is "Kaliksutra".Means it
must be read in allowed Porishi time in a clean & pure environment.
Otherwise it can be a bigger sin .Looking to increased number of
devotees for this blog, I am daring for it with a object of "Dharma-
Prabhavana".So please take utmost care and do the "Swadhya",It
also give details of other "Aswadhya" conditions .Once a devotee
learn it by heart in a 8 days. need will not arise for net use for it.
To take care to recite it avoiding "Aswyadhay period".

Can I please get the meanings of each stanza?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the proper time for puchhisunam stotra
ReplyDeleteSir,You have to follow Pakki-paan for normal days. For abnormal days you have to refer any Aagam Kalik one.It contain prohibition for various reasons on first page.For today as normal day for example 48 minutes after sunrise up to Porishi. Then 03.45 to 48 minutes before sunset. In night after 48 minutes of sunset to 3 Prahar. Look difficult but once you practice it is easy.Good luck.Jaijinendra
ReplyDeletePls tell me proper timings for stotra. I didn't get u
ReplyDeleteHerewith I try for a simpler answer for "Kalik Sutra"for normal days. One may be located in any location of world. Note time of local sunrise, sunset and next sunrise. One can get 24 hours. Then divide 24 hours in equal 8 parts. Each part is called as "Porishi'.Give number to Porashi from 1 to 8.Stotra is allowed only in 1,4.5 and 8th Porishi. Here also first 30 minutes of 1+5 Porshi to be excluded and for 4 and 8 last 30 minutes to be excluded. I explain it by today timings.In my city sunrise and sunset is for today 10th May21 is at 6.06 and sunset is at 18.56.Now strota allowed approx. times-6.36 TO 9.19,15.45 TO 18.26,19.36 to 21.45,02.45 to 5.30.For abnormal days like nature change and personal reasons like female's delivery, death of close ones to be noted. The 4 Porishi are regarded as visiting hours of Heavenly Gods to earth.They don't like wrong pronunciation of their language.
