Can I start chanting bhaktamar stotra on amavasya day
Answer
Yes, you can start chanting Bhaktamar Stotra on Amavasya day.
In Jain Dharma, sincere chanting of a sacred stotra can be done on any day with devotion, purity of mind, and right intention. Bhaktamar Stotra is a highly revered Jain stotra in praise of Bhagwan Adinath, the first Tirthankar.
Explanation
Amavasya is not considered a restriction for starting Bhaktamar Stotra. If your intention is spiritual upliftment, devotion, peace of mind, and strengthening faith in Arihant Bhagwan, then you may begin on that day.
Before chanting, it is good to:
- Take bath and wear clean clothes.
- Sit in a clean and peaceful place.
- Keep the mind calm and respectful.
- Chant with correct pronunciation as much as possible.
- Focus on devotion toward Bhagwan Adinath rather than worldly desires.
Spiritual Understanding
The true value of chanting comes from bhav — inner devotion, purity, humility, and reverence. In Jain Dharma, external timing is less important than internal purity and right faith.
Takeaway
You may start chanting Bhaktamar Stotra on Amavasya. Begin with devotion, cleanliness, humility, and peaceful concentration.
