This shlok when chanted with faith and devotion is extremely useful for extinguishing fire in our environment, which also means that this protects us from any kind of heated argument, negativity, resistance from rivals or competitors and subdues them.
There are no limits of time and place for devotion to God, and therefore, the recitation of the Bhaktamar Stotra can be done at any time and in any sacred place. However, in Indian tradition, and particularly in Jain philosophy, the Brahma Muhurta ( 4am to 7am) holds immense significance. Any recitation, meditation, or austerities performed during this time are infinitely fruitful, as the entire universe is brimming with positive energy during these early morning hours. Whenever you choose to recite the Bhaktamar Stotra, try to do so during Brahma Muhurta to fully harness this divine energy and bring about positive changes in your life.
To begin this sacred ritual, first select the shloka that aligns with your purpose. Between 4 AM and 7 AM, during Brahma Muhurta, take a bath and wear clean, light-colored clothes.

Place the Yantra of the specific shloka or the Complete Bhaktamar Yantra in front of you. Light incense and Deepak to create a fragrant atmosphere.
