Answer

Both names refer to the same revered Jain guardian deity:

• Manibhadra is the more general Sanskrit-style name.
• Maanibhadra Dada or Manibhadra Dada is the devotional name commonly used by Jain devotees.

So, if you are referring to the Jain deity worshipped for protection, removal of obstacles, and support in spiritual and worldly difficulties, “Manibhadra Dada” is the common devotional form.

Explanation

In Jain tradition, Manibhadra Veer is regarded as a Shasan Dev or protective deity connected with Jain Dharma. Devotees often lovingly call him Dada, meaning a respected elder or protector.

The spelling may vary in English because Sanskrit/Gujarati/Hindi words are transliterated differently:

• Manibhadra
• Maanibhadra
• Manibhadra Veer
• Manibhadra Dada

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, such deities are respected as protectors and helpers, but they are not worshipped as liberated souls. The highest spiritual refuge remains:

• Arihant Bhagwan
• Siddha Bhagwan
• Acharya
• Upadhyay
• Sadhu-Sadhvi Bhagwant

Devotion to Manibhadra Dada should support faith, discipline, right conduct, and reverence for the Jin Shasan.

Takeaway

Manibhadra is the formal name, and Manibhadra Dada is the affectionate devotional name used by many Jain devotees.
