Background and Purpose
In BE2495, during the post-war recovery era, Luang Phor Chaeng created this rare series of Phra Somdej Song Hanuman amulets. They were intended to combine Somdej’s sacred protection with Hanuman’s unmatched bravery and loyalty, offering both spiritual defense and victorious energy to devotees — especially civil servants, soldiers, and laypeople facing turbulent times.
Design and Symbolism
The amulet portrays a Somdej-style Buddha image in meditation posture, combined with Hanuman imagery. This unique design makes it stand out among traditional Phra Somdej.
Hanuman Symbolism
- Unyielding Courage
- Loyalty to Dharma
- Victory over evil
- Immunity to dark magic and hidden enemies
By merging Hanuman’s spirit with the Phra Somdej form, Luang Phor Chaeng empowered this amulet with Buddha’s peaceful protection and Hanuman’s fierce defense.
Materials and Composition
- Phong Namon (oil-infused sacred powder)
- Sacred powders: Ittaje, Pathamang, Maharach, Phutthakun, Trinisinghe
- Cooked rice and flower pollen from rituals
- Oil base with soy sauce & candle wax
- Consecrated sand and scripture fragments
- Remnants of older amulets from elder teachers
The final amulet was dense yet smooth, often with a fragrant earthy scent, and colors ranging from yellowish wax to light brown.
Blessing and Consecration
This batch was empowered in the ubosot of Wat Bang Phang by Luang Phor Chaeng, who used solo consecration with deep Vipassana meditation and repeated recitation of sacred katha. His blessing infused each amulet with metta, protection, and vitality.
Distribution and Rarity
These amulets were not mass-produced and were often distributed freely to devotees, villagers, and disciples. Due to their delicate composition, many were damaged over time, making intact originals with clear Hanuman imagery exceptionally rare today.
