Historical Significance
Issued in BE2543 (2000 CE) at Wat Sri Maruekhathayawan by Archan Pleang Bunyuen, this edition reflects the late-20th century renaissance of Thai lay-adept wicha traditions. Crafted to honor the lineage of Ruesi (hermit sages), the batch was consecrated in a solemn Putthapisek empowerment ceremony, aimed at invoking divine wisdom, spiritual awakening, and sacred protection for devotees.

Reverse — sacred yantra and embossed marks denoting batch empowerment.
Contextual Insight: “Uthai Plerngrasamee” translates to “awakening of the sacred flame,” symbolizing illumination and clarity through wisdom. Archan Pleang’s intention was to awaken inner light, guiding wearers from confusion toward insight — a core principle in wicha ruesi practice where divine hermits transmit esoteric knowledge to the devout.
Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Sri Maruekhathayawan in Ratchaburi is closely associated with Archan Pleang’s hermetic and Arkom (occult) lineage. The master’s wicha emphasized deep meditative invocation, control of elements (tat maha-jatumaharaj), and metta (loving-kindness). His discipline produced amulets that balance formidable protective power with gentle spiritual guidance.
