Answer

In Jain tradition, Bhaktamar Stotra should be chanted with devotion, purity, and correct pronunciation.

If by “ulta Bhaktamar Stotra” you mean chanting the verses in reverse order, then it is generally understood as chanting from the last verse back to the first verse. However, this should be done only if it is part of a tradition taught by a knowledgeable Jain guru, upadhyay, or learned person.

How to Chant Respectfully

• Sit in a clean and peaceful place.
• Keep your mind calm and devotional.
• Remember Bhagwan Adinath, to whom Bhaktamar Stotra is dedicated.
• Pronounce each verse carefully and respectfully.
• If chanting in reverse order, recite the complete verses from the final gatha toward the first gatha, without changing the words.
• Do not alter, break, or reverse the words inside the verses.

Important Note

“Ulta” should not mean saying the words backward or distorting the sacred text. Sacred Jain stotras should never be modified or recited in a disrespectful or incorrect form.

Spiritual Understanding

Bhaktamar Stotra is a devotional composition praising Bhagwan Adinath. Its true spiritual benefit comes from:

• श्रद्धा / faith
• भक्ति / devotion
• शुद्ध उच्चारण / correct pronunciation
• शुभ भाव / pure inner feeling

Takeaway

You may chant Bhaktamar Stotra in reverse verse order only if it is taught in your Jain tradition, but never reverse or distort the sacred words themselves. Devotion and purity of intention are more important than special methods.
