Soxy Hau Na Mo (Na Mo Pu Ta YaNa) • Nur Khalai Na • BE2500
LP Khai (Phor Than Klai) • Wat Suan Khan, Nakhon Si Thammarat • Rose-gold plated alloy
Historical Significance
First issued in BE2500 (1957 CE) at Wat Suan Khan, the Hua Namo necklace was overseen by LP Khai (Phor Than Klai), a leading master of the Southern Khao Or tradition. The inaugural batch coincided with the Kathina season, uniting devotional offering with protective rite.
Contextual Insight: The mantra “Na Mo Pu Ta YaNa” encapsulates protective syllables used in Southern lineages. In the BE2500 issue, metallurgy, stamping, and hand-linking reflect both ritual intent and durable daily wear.
Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Suan Khan stands within the orbit of major Southern sanctuaries. LP Khai emphasized steady samādhi with applied wicha, producing wearable protection grounded in monastic discipline.
Materials & Craftsmanship
| Material | Nur Khalai Na (copper–silver alloy) with rose-gold plating; stamped “Na” beads; hand-linked chain. |
| Dimensions | Typical length 18–22 inches; oval beads sized for daily wear; some strands paired with small Buddha or takrut. |
| Consecration | BE2500 Kathina rites: continuous Iti-pisō and Na Mo Pu Ta Ya chant; Southern Nah Tae Fai fire ritual under LP Khai. |
Spiritual Function & Doctrinal Purpose
Traditionally worn for protection (against danger and malefic intent), metta (goodwill & relationships), and maha lap (steady fortune). As a neck-worn reminder, it anchors recollection of Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha.
Rarity & Collector Significance
Early BE2500 strands are scarce. Markers include deep “Na” stamps, uniform oval beads, hand-linked joints, and even rose-gold tone over alloy. Later re-issues (BE2505–2510) often used cheaper brass and lack inaugural prestige.
