Answer

In Jain tradition, there is no universally accepted scriptural rule that says the Bhaktamar Stotra cannot be chanted between 12 and 1.

If someone says not to chant it during that time, it is usually based on local custom, family tradition, temple discipline, or a belief followed by a particular guru-parampara, not a general Jain scriptural prohibition.

Explanation

The Bhaktamar Stotra is a highly revered Jain stotra composed in praise of Bhagwan Adinath. It may be recited with devotion, purity of mind, and respect.

Some people avoid chanting certain stotras or mantras at particular times because of beliefs connected with:

• Ritual timing followed in their temple or household
• Discipline of daily worship, such as preferring morning or evening recitation
• Local traditions regarding midday or midnight periods
• Guru instructions given for a specific sadhana or ritual method

But these should not be confused with a universal Jain rule unless clearly supported by accepted tradition.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, the purity of chanting depends mainly on:

• Right faith
• Respectful attitude
• Clean body and mind
• Non-violent and peaceful intention
• Devotion toward the qualities of the Tirthankar

The purpose of Bhaktamar is not superstition, but bhakti, inner purification, and remembrance of the virtues of Arihant Bhagwan.

Takeaway

You may chant Bhaktamar with devotion at any respectful time. If your family, temple, or guru has advised avoiding 12 to 1, you may follow that as a matter of discipline, but it should not be presented as a universal Jain rule.
