Background Information

Lunag Phor Daeng Suntaro       

 

Although many series of Luang Phor Thuad amulets have been consecrated and those crated at Wat Chang Hai are without doubt the most popular, many people unfortunately overlook equally sacred amulets created by one great Southern Monk, Luang Phor Daeng.
 

Phra Archarm Tim Dharmataro, also known as Prakru Visai Sobhon, was the head monk involved  in the creation of the very first series of Luang Phor Thuad amulets at Wat Changhai, in be 2497.
 

He invited many senior monks to the blessing ceremony, including  Luang Phor Daeng Suntaro (Prakru Viruch Sobhon), a sacred monk of Wat Sri Maha Pho, a monk highly regarded for his dedication to the Buddhist faith.

Luang Phor Daeng Suntaro was born to the “Jindawong” family on June 18th, B.E.2445. His family comprised of 4 brothers and sisters, all of whom have since passed away.
 

Over 90 years ago Luang Por Daeng just a small lad lived in a poor communal farming village named Puk-Or.

At that time no modern technology existed including running water or electricity, even the roads were non existent.

There were of course no schools and all the children, including Luang Phor Daeng, were educated by the adults that surrounded them.
 

At the age of 7, his village suffered a serious outbreak of small pox, then incurable, taking the lives of much of the local population. Luang Phor Daeng is recorded to have said that prior to the deadly infliction a loud, mysterious noise was heard, almost as if they were being warned of the impending disaster.
 

As a result of the disease Mr.Kuer Jindawong, Luang Phor Daeng’s father, moved his family away to another village in he same province where he was to re-start a new life.

Fortunately, Mr. Kuer had met some very kind people, who helped his family re-establish themselves.  Mr Srikaew Maniprom, the the village head, also donated land near Wat Maduertong on which to build a new house for the family.

At that time of course Buddhist temples were also an important as they provided the young with an education, which included religious studies, languages and in some cases magic sciences from the senior monks.

Luang Phor Daeng Suntaro, as a young child was a keen student, and dedicated himself to learn all that he could from the then senior monk Luang Phor Sibhut. He was taught at the age of 14 sacred spells such as Prasutra Jedtumnan and Pra Patimok, remembering every single word by the age of 16, when he returnd home to his family.
