Phra Yod Khunphon Pim Yai Nur Wahn (over 1,000 sacred herbs mixed) BE2504 Luang Phor Khan (Lp Khan) Wat Phra Si An
History
In the year B.E. 2504 (1961), Luang Phor Khan, the highly respected abbot of Wat Phra Si An, initiated the creation of Phra Yod Khunphon Pim Yai Nur Wahn, an amulet with profound spiritual potency rooted in ancient traditions of Thai sacred arts. The name “Yod Khunphon” refers to the elite warriors of the Ayutthaya period, often associated with valor, invincibility, and unwavering loyalty—qualities believed to be transferred to the bearer of this amulet.
This batch is recognized for its meticulous spiritual preparation and powerful composition, aligned with the ancient Wicha (sacred knowledge) handed down through generations of ascetic monks in the central region of Thailand.
Sacred Material Composition
The standout feature of this Pim Yai amulet is its unique Nur Wahn (sacred herbal composite) base. Over 1,000 types of sacred herbs and botanical ingredients were painstakingly gathered over many years by LP Khan and his close disciples. These included:
-
Wan Maha Saneh, Wan Dok Tong, and Wan Nang Kwak, prized for attracting wealth and kindness.
-
Herbs from cremation grounds, believed to contain spiritual potency for protection and avoidance of misfortune.
-
Powder from old sacred amulets, including fragments of earlier Phra Khun Paen and Phra Somdej amulets.
The base material was infused with holy powders, including Itthijay, Trinisinghe, and Maha Phuttha Jao powders, known for their combination of Metta Mahaniyom (loving-kindness), Kongkraphan (invincibility), and Chana Satru (victory over enemies).
Ritual Creation and Empowerment
The creation of this amulet followed the ancient doctrine of Wicha Yod Khunphon, including precise moon-phase calculations and seasonal rituals. LP Khan initiated the empowerment ceremony during a lunar eclipse, a time traditionally believed to maximize the amulet’s absorbing power.
The Putthaphisek (Buddha blessing) ceremony was held over several nights and involved chanting of high-level Buddhist incantations, meditative empowerment, and spiritual infusions. Several respected monks from nearby provinces were invited to join in the chanting rites.
Luang Phor Khan himself, deeply respected as a master of both meditation and herbal magic, led the ceremony. His profound spiritual power and deep understanding of herbal alchemy were key to charging the amulets with extraordinary efficacy.
Known Powers and Beliefs
Amulets of this batch, especially the Pim Yai (large mould), are widely regarded for their:
-
Metta Maha Niyom (great loving-kindness): Enhancing personal charm, attracting goodwill from others.
-
Kongkraphan Chatree (invulnerability and protection): Safeguarding the wearer from accidents, danger, and malicious intent.
-
Maha Amnaj (commanding aura): Suited for individuals in leadership or negotiation roles.
-
Kha Khai (wealth attraction): Strong influence on business success, attracting luck and wealth opportunities.
There are also numerous anecdotal stories from devotees who reported miraculous escape from danger, sudden financial windfalls, and restored personal relationships, attributing their experiences to the blessings of this amulet.
Legacy of Luang Phor Khan
Luang Phor Khan was a revered master in the central provinces of Thailand. Though not as widely publicized internationally, he was deeply respected among local devotees and fellow monks for his strict discipline, deep meditation practice, and powerful herbal knowledge. His amulets are considered rare and underappreciated gems, often passed quietly from master to disciple or among serious collectors.
Wat Phra Si An, his temple, continues to maintain the spiritual lineage, though amulets created under LP Khan’s personal supervision are becoming extremely scarce and increasingly valued in the Thai amulet community.
