Sacred Craftsmanship

LP Sawai has given us many quality items, such as his Palad Khik. Those are now very expensive and in high demand for the Metta and wealth they bring. One of his other very popular items is this first-batch locket. It is a ceramic locket with three takruts on the back, in gold, silver and copper, and it is great for both wealth and wish granting.

Personal Experiences Shared by Luksits

In the 90s, when LP Sawai was at the height of his fame, many of my older friends went to seek his blessings, and many of them own this exact locket. Since then I've watched them all grow their businesses well, and some have even retired successfully.

Summary

I collect monk images for their wish-granting power, and this is one locket I highly recommend. It brings together LP Sawai's image and three sacred takruts in one old-school piece that is hard to come by these days.

Historical Background

LP Sawai Thitawanno, later titled Phra Khru Sathit Chotikhun, was born on 18 January B.E. 2464 (1921) in Bang Sai, Ayutthaya. After his father passed away, he moved to Khlong Chinda, Nakhon Pathom, and became a temple boy at Wat Yai Som, now Wat Preedaram. He was fully ordained there in B.E. 2484 (1941), and he became its abbot in B.E. 2492 (1949), at just 28 years old.

He learned from more than 20 teachers. They included LP Poon of Wat Mai Pin Kliao, who taught him Kongkrapan and Metta, LP Khao of Wat Suan Som, who taught him the Na Na Thong (pressing gold leaf into the forehead), and Ajarn Pin, who taught him the Palad Khik that made him famous. Thai devotees called him the Master of Magic of Khlong Chinda. He passed away on 11 November B.E. 2543 (2000), aged 80, after 63 years as a monk.

Blessings and Effects

This locket is treasured for wealth and wish granting, the same qualities my friends experienced as their businesses grew. LP Sawai's Wicha is also known for Metta and protection.

Modern Application

This locket suits business owners and anyone seeking wealth and wishes fulfilled. It is also a fine addition for collectors of monk images and lockets from the 90s.

Physical Details

The locket is ceramic, about 1 inch, with gold, silver and copper takruts. It comes in an Ah Fok waterproof casing.

Personal Notes

A beautiful old-school locket like this is hard to come by these days. Seeing how it served my older friends over the years is why I hold LP Sawai in such high regard.
