Phra Phong Chan Loi Nur Phong Namon BE 2460 – Wat Khu Salot

Consecrated by Luang Phor Parn of Wat Bang Nom Kho

Background of Creation

In approximately BE 2460 (1922), Phra Archan Phong, a close disciple of Luang Phor Parn (BE 2418–2480) of Wat Bang Nom Kho, initiated the creation of this batch of amulets to raise funds for the restoration of Wat Khu Salot. At that time, the temple was in disrepair, with deteriorated structures and limited facilities for monastic and community use.

Recognizing Phra Ajahn Phong’s devotion and abilities, Luang Phor Parn appointed him abbot of Wat Khu Salot, located in Sena District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province.

Materials and Unique Composition

The amulets were crafted from a special oil-based sacred powder (Phong Namman). The ingredients included:

• Sacred powders collected by Phra Archan Phong

• Remnants of sacred powders used by Luang Phor Parn in his famous six-animal amulet series

• Blended oils to give the amulets a supple, durable, and aromatic texture

The resulting texture is referred to by collectors as “Phong Namon” or “oil-based powder” amulets. Surviving specimens exhibit hues ranging from yellow-green, yellow-brown, to whitish, depending on the aging and exposure to air.

Amulet Types and Molds

This batch was inspired by Luang Phor Parn’s iconic six animal-shaped amulets. Wat Khu Salot’s collection included:

1. Chicken

2. Hanuman

3. Garuda

4. Porcupine

5. Fish

6. Bird

Additionally, two new designs were introduced:

7. Phra Phong Chan Loi (Floating Moon style)

8. Phra Somdej-shaped amulet

These were designed to be symbolically rich and easily recognizable, maintaining consistency with Luang Phor Parn’s sacred iconography.

Consecration Ceremony

After the amulets were molded, Phra Archan Phong invited Luang Phor Parn to lead the blessing and consecration ritual at Wat Khu Salot. The ceremony involved:

• Sacred chants and mantras led by Luang Phor Parn

• Invocation of Buddha’s virtues and protective energies

• Imbuing the amulets with metta mahaniyom (loving-kindness and charm), khlang klaad (evasion from danger), and prosperity-enhancing energies

This sacred empowerment enhanced the spiritual effectiveness of the amulets, aligning them closely with the magical power of Luang Phor Parn’s original works.

Use, Distribution, and Enshrinement

The amulets were offered to villagers and devotees in exchange for donations, which funded the reconstruction and improvement of temple buildings.

After the renovation works were completed, remaining amulets were enshrined within the main chedi of Wat Khu Salot for safekeeping. However, in later years, thieves broke into the chedi and stole the majority of the stored amulets. Only a few survived at the bottom of the crypt and remain highly sought-after today.

Spiritual Beliefs and Collector Interest

These amulets are known for:

• Metta Mahaniyom (popularity and kindness)

• Khlang Klaad (evasion of danger)

• Spiritual energy similar to Luang Phor Parn’s six-animal series

Initially, their value was modest due to low public awareness. But as the market value of Luang Phor Parn’s animal-shaped amulets surged, collectors began to pay close attention to Wat Khu Salot’s versions. The direct involvement of Luang Phor Parn in their consecration, the shared sacred materials, and their historical context led to a sharp increase in popularity and price.

Legacy of Phra Archan Phong

Following his service as abbot, Phra Archan Phong disrobed, started a family, and lived as a layman until his passing. Despite stepping away from monastic life, his contribution through the creation of the Wat Khu Salot oil-based amulet series has left a lasting legacy that continues to be venerated by collectors and spiritual practitioners alike.

Certification and Authentication

Select surviving pieces are accompanied by Thaprachan certification, ensuring:

• Provenance

• Authenticity of materials

• Association with Luang Phor Parn’s lineage

Amulets with visible “tofu-foam” aging on the surface are especially prized, reflecting their original enshrinement in the chedi before the theft.
