KraDok Pi , Wat Pho Archan Nu

During Indochine war, many lives were claimed. Millions of Civilian died. Sorrow is in the air. Phra Ajarn Noo from Wat Pho who is a Khmer origin monk wanted to do something to help. He wanted to make a series of amulets using ashes of soldier, generals, civilians with the following 2 purpose:

- To protect the soldier so that they have better chances of winning

- To gain merit for the deceased

With that intention, he seek approval from the authority as Wat Pho is known to be a royal temple. By right, they do not allow amulets to be made of ashes or human fleshed. Back then, ash-related material is not popular and is something not many people will want to even touch it. But knowing the intention of Ajarn Noo and also believing his power and ability to control the spirits and gain merit and compassion, they approved the making of this batch and as many said, the rest are history.

Phra Pidta Pong Kraduk Pi, Wat Pho Bangkok, Phra Archan Noo, was made from combinations of Pong Buddhakhoon, Pong Ittijijae, Sacred Herbal plants planted by Phra Archan Noo himself and human bone fragments of unclaimed bodies of war casualties who were killed in World War II by a mass bombings that were dropped in Bangkok in the year 2484.

Kraduk Pi’s amulets that contains humans’ remains with sacred herbs and other holy materials were known as “Pong MahaPhut”. Phra Archan Noo from Cambodian lineage have such wicha to control the spirits that comes with the humans’ remains together with the sacred materials. Another Gejit Archan that was famous knew of having such ability to consrecate Pong Mahaput is Karawat Archan Dam of Cambodia (previously Ven. LP Dam of Wat Santhittham) and he has learnt such from Rishi Khaogulen in the Kulen Mountian in Cambodia. It would bring disaster to those who made and those who wore such amulets of pong Mahaphut if it’s made by someone that unqualified. However, Phra Archan Noo have proven himself to the amulet collectors over the decades that Phra Pidta Kradok Pi Wat Pho is one of the best ever made and consecrated in the history of Phra Pidta in Thailand. Because not only is it safe, it is very effective.

Such Pong Mahaput provides good blessings and protection in every sense from Mahalap (good fortune), MahaPokassap (great wealth), Maha Setthi (millionaire potential), Maha Niyom (fame & popularity), Klaewklard (avoidance of misfortunes), KongKhaPhan (physical invulnerability), Maha Urd (protection for firearms), Metta (loving kindness), success and overall protections of all kinds.

Phra Somdej WRK and other mainstream amulets are more classified under the catergory of Boonyarit (blessings/protections derived from the auspiciousness and perfections of the Triple Gems of Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha). Amulets like Phra Pidta Wat Pho would be categorized under both Boonyarit and Ittirit. Ittirit are energy/protection/blessings made under specific instruction, materials and rituals to increase its intrinsic value. To make it more potent.
