Rare indeed, this is the nawa version with a solid silver base, made in very limited numbers. Actually it is a set of two amulets. In addition to the Phra Kring, there is also a smaller Phra Chaiwat amulet. Both are sold with the original presentation case, each serialised. These amulets were all personally blessed by Luang Phor Klum.
Luang Phor Klum Yasotaro, officially named Phra Mongkolsilacharn, reached a hundred years of age on October 20th, B.E.2540 and was one of the oldest living monks in Thailand. He was not only highly respected by the locals of Rayong and neighboring provinces but was also highly respected by the general public throughout the kingdom. One of the reasons that he was invited on an annual basis to participate in the ceremonies held at Wat Prakaew, located within the royal palace. He was also respectfully renamed as “the God of Rayong Province”, “the God of the Eastern Sea” or “the God of the Eastern Seaboard provinces”.
He learnt many sacred sciences from a senior monk, named Phra Kru Nivas Dharmasarn (or Luang Por Toh), the former abbot of Wat Khaokadon and Wat Botong. He became highly specialised and knowledgeable in all that he studied, finally returning to Wat Wang Whaa to practice further meditative techniques and also assist the temple until Phra Atikarn Pern had passed away, whereupon he was invited to take up position of Abbot. Luang Phor Kkum Yasotaro was not only respected for his sacred power but also for his virtue. He highly respected his teachers and would organize sacred ceremony each year to worship them.
