Sacred Craftsmanship

This Rian Meed Deang was blessed by Maha Surasak of Wat Pradu in B.E. 2559. At only 2 cm, it is a small, light piece that is easy to keep close throughout the day.

Summary

The reverse carries Maha Surasak's signature Yant Kru. In the original devotional explanation, its purpose is compared with Narai Pleng Roop: inviting a supportive divine presence rather than representing only one narrowly defined blessing.

Historical Background

Maha Surasak Atisakkho was born in B.E. 2504 (1961). He became a novice in 1976 and was fully ordained in 1983, later completing Pali level 5. Alongside his religious studies, he became known for fine arts, sculpture, temple design and Dhamma teaching.

He became abbot of Wat Pradu in Amphawa, Samut Songkhram, in B.E. 2534 (1991). He received the title Phra Bhavana Visuthisophon in B.E. 2559 (2016) and was appointed Ecclesiastical Governor of Samut Songkhram in B.E. 2562 (2019). His teachers included LP Yod of Wat Kaew Charoen, Luang Pu Jang, Luang Pu Juea, Ajarn Saneh and Luang Pu Dr. Pichai. His sacred objects are particularly associated with takruts and Bia Kae, alongside other traditional forms of Wicha.

Blessings and Effects

The Yant Kru is believed to invite a suitable deva or celestial energy in keeping with the wearer's needs, whether protection, confidence, clarity or luck. Followers describe this as an adaptive blessing, offering support as circumstances change. These associations reflect traditional beliefs and personal experiences, not guaranteed outcomes.

Modern Application

Its modest size makes it a practical option for ladies, children and frequent travellers, or anyone who wants a discreet daily-wear piece that does not feel heavy.
