Hanuman

LP Phat - Wat Huay Duan, Nakhon Sawan
 
Luang Phor Phat was the abbot of Wat Huay Duan in Nakhon Sawan province, Thailand. While he spent most of his life in solitude, he became well known around the world for creating some of the most powerful and revered amulets in the tradition.
 
Despite reaching the age of 101, he remained healthy and strong throughout his later years, having been ordained for 75 years. Throughout his life he continued to guide and inspire many disciples.
 
Luang Phor Phat was a direct disciple of LP Derm, under whom he trained in his youth, learning sacred mantras and studying ancient forms of magic.
 
His amulets are widely believed to be extremely powerful and highly protective. One well-known story tells of a fierce fire that broke out one night in the chapel of Wat Huay Duan, destroying everything except for the wax statue and robe of LP Phat, which remained untouched. After this event, LP Phat’s amulets became even more popular and sought after by collectors and devotees around the world.
 
The Hanuman is a very sought after amulet as the wearer is said to be impervious to evil and misfortune.
 
Hanuman is one of the main characters in the Ramakaya story and is described as a white monkey. He is said to be able to transform himself into a giant with 4 heads and eight arms and served under Phra Rarm a reincarnation of Phra Naraj the greatest of the Hindu gods. 
 
Hanuman is said to have been invincible and when knocked down just a small blow of wind would revive him. Due to this many Muay Thai fighters wear the amulet as they believe when they are knocked out a blow of wind will bring them back to consciousness
 
Many Thais wear this amulet as they believe the amulet will protect them as well as ward off evil spirits, danger and misfortune thus aiding a successful and prosperous life.
