Luang Phor Sukchai, a senior monk of Wat Lintong, Muang District, Angtong Province recently released a new series of amulets including this Phra Reussi amulet known as Phra Paratamuni.
Phra Paratamuni was one of the most ancient sacred ascetics respected for his sacred power that could help people in many ways, but in particular to danger, evil, whilst at the same time call upon fortune in career and business.
Essentially Phra Reusi are Indian hermits who are credited as founders and patron saints of various professions such as doctors, religious tattooists, white magic practitioners, herbalists and many others. There are a total of 108 scared hermits that are recognized by name and many others who are not. More often than not the Lersi is generically represented as an old man wearing a conical head dress and tiger skin robes.
In Indian Mythology, Phra Reusi received worldly knowledge from the Gods and taught this to mankind. Thus Phra Reusi are known as masters of Knowledge and are frequently worshipped by students and others in academic pursuits. As Phra Reusi are also credited to be founders of the Thai magical arts, they feature prominently on the alters of magical practioners in Thailand and are involved in rituals
Luang Phor Sukchai, is informally known as Luang Poo Wat Lintong, and he wanted to create this series to help people become prosperous in careers and business particularly in the current climate of poor economic conditions.
Luang Phor Sukchai used several kinds of sacred materials to create these amulets and also held a blessing ceremony where he invited as many as 108 sacred souls of senior monks, ancient ascetics, and angels to help transfer power into his amulets.
He also gave specific directions how to worship this series of amulets. Worshippers must prepare the following:
|
Various fruits, which have auspicious meaning in Thai such as bananas, coconuts, jackfruits, used to worship the soul of Phra Paratamuni. |
|
Cigarettes |
|
Drinking water |
|
5 or 9 incense sticks |
(Note: Some fruits were prohibited such as durian, mangosteen, sugar apple because their names were not auspicious.)
The incense should be lit and the following katha recited:
Ohm Namo Pra Parataya Namo Nama Kunta Mala
Sitta Hanum Kaha Mana Summa Yarahung Wunta Mi
Worshippers should then call upon the sacred soul of Pra Paratamuni. This ceremong should be performed on Thursday, this being the day used by Thais to respect and worship teachers.
NOTE: If you would like to order a case for this amulet, we will substitute the stainless steel case for a perspex waterproof case
