Sian Phra Phrom Si Na • BE2517
Wat Sakae, Ayutthaya • Certified by Thaprachan
Main obverse — classic four-faced Brahma form, pressed in early-period Nur Phong of Luang Pu Du.
Historical Significance
Issued in BE2517 (1974) at Wat Sakae, Ayutthaya, this edition represents the early sacred powder creations of Luang Pu Du (Phra Ajahn Du Phrommintho). Produced during a period of heightened faith in Phra Phrom (Brahma), this batch was consecrated through a full Putthapisek (ritual empowerment) with prolonged mantra cycles. It was created to support devotees seeking prosperity, clarity, and protection through Brahma’s four-fold virtues.
Reverse — clear powder compression with early-period Wat Sakae granularity.
Contextual Insight: Luang Pu Du’s Sian Phra Phrom follows the Ayutthaya Brahmanic–Buddhist tradition, integrating wicha (sacred formula) for Maha Lap (great fortune), Metta Mahaniyom (charm & kindness), and mental clarity. His powder formula includes sacred scriptures, old temple soil, and ritual ash—hallmarks of his pre-2520 production era.
Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Sakae, Ayutthaya is closely linked to the meditative lineage of Luang Pu Du. The master emphasised Samatha–Vipassana, believing that amulet creation must arise from a calm, purified mind. His discipline of wicha akson (“sacred activation through mindfulness”) is reflected in the balanced proportions and gentle surface textures seen in this batch, where religious aesthetics and meditative stillness meet.

Spiritual Function & Doctrinal Purpose
According to Thai Buddhist belief, Phra Phrom supports Maha Lap (great fortune), Metta Mahaniyom (loving-kindness & attraction), and wisdom and clarity in planning and decision-making. Devotees wear this amulet for business success, opportunity, and stabilising personal energy while maintaining right view and ethical conduct.
Rarity & Collector Significance
Assessed as Collector-grade Rare. Early BE2517 powder casts are limited and increasingly difficult to obtain in well-preserved condition. Collectors verify: powder texture, facial clarity, edge compression, and surface granularity. Certified examples occasionally appear in Samakom and competition circuits, and pieces with sharp details and original surfaces are regarded as highly desirable holdings in a Luang Pu Du collection.
