The Next Big Thing

Wat Sungai Siput featuring in Nam Kwak (female godness of wealth) and it has been the benmarking of Archan Tia for many years where you get to see stuff like Nam Kwak possession that you can find nowhere else except here in Wat Sungai Siput. Due to the economic crisis in these years, many had hard times living their life, some losing their job, some can’t get a job, market is slow and business is bad, Archan Tia says it is time to give all that he had learned in the discipline of wealth and fortune, together with the will of Nam Kwak herself, to bless the people who need it. In conjunction with this, for the coming event of “Papha” (31/08/2010), Wat Sungai Siput will release the Nam Kwak amulet edition 2010 for people to rent. The Nam Kwak amulet is on making now (see the mold picture below) and there will be 1000 pcs available before the “Papha”.

The amulet's ingredient are 108 rare herbs plus “king wood” powder and it will be handcrafted piece by piece by Archan Tia himself and its definitely not from factory, Archan Tia says he likes to made the amulet by himself instead of mass production from factory so that each amulet is unique. Despite its outlook, Archan Tia says it will be absolutely powerful because he will spend 1 month to meditate and chant the amulets. I saw the first few pieces and to be honest it is not shaped like anything from factory but it has the “ancient” look of amulet, Archan Tia says he knows the amulet aint going to be pretty but he didnt expected that it looks like the amulet that made by his master (Luang Phor Top ) that he saw during his young time, he is very happy because of that. So I guess when you have great vision and good heart all gods will be assisting you and work with you side by side.

The amulet will be officially release on 31/08/2010 during the event of “Papha”, for those who want it in high volume you can pre-order it. 100% of funds that collected from the sales of amulet will goes to the building of Ubosot, this is something very meaningful. When I ask him if there will be any possession of Nam Kwak on that day, the answer is yes from Archan Tia, he says whoever that rent the Nam Kwak amulet on that day will have the opportunity to meditate with him and try to feel the power of Nam Kwak to see if you can get possessed or not, he says you don’t have to do anything, just take the Nam Kwak with you, sit down, close your eyes and think about Nam Kwak, you don’t even have to chant (it ti, it ti, it ti….) because on that particular day Nam Kwak will be around you. And for those who cannot be possessed don’t have to be upset, it doesn’t mean that Nam Kwak is not with you, its just that you are not familiar to deal with the spirit inside your body. Each amulet will be fairly and fully chanted in 1 full month for bringing wealth, business and metta.
