The twin sided Pra Nang Paya shaped 'Pra Somdej Paya Bparamadth' (some people indeed call it 'Pra Nang Paya'),from Luang Por Pina, of Wat Ta Geuy (later Wat Sanom Lao). The amulets is in red painted Bailan + Prai black Muan Sarn Sacred Powders. A Miniature Sacred Clay Buddha Amulet with two images of the Buddha, (one in the posture of conquering Maras, and the other in the Posture of Bestowing Blessings), leaving you to choose which side to wear in front.

Luang Por Pina woiuld recommend his devotees to wrap this amulet in a handkerchief (pure and clean) and carry it with you, to chase away black magick, fever and diseases, and keep illnesses away.

The Pra Somdej Paya Bparamadth was created in two sizes and in various kinds of Muan Sarn Sacred Powders. The Somdej Paya Bparamadth along with the famous Pra Pim Prasut amulets were released as part of the same series edition, but have different Buddha Images emblazoned on them and are larger in size.

The Pra Somdej Paya Bparamadth features two different Buddha images, one each side, and is known as the Pim A-A model. One side has the image of the Buddha in Mara Vichaya Posture (Subduing Mara), with the letter A either side of the Buddha.

The other side has a Buddha with both hands clasped around a Mani Chote Crystal, representing the Buddha giving teachings the King Maha Chompoobodee

The amulet represents a manifestation of the Buddha, representing the occasion when King Bhimpisara beseeched the Buddha to help to prevent the King Paya Maha Chompoobodee from attacking the Kingdom of Rajaghiri. The Buddha then created a mirage, and appeared as a great King with a Great Kingdom, before Maha Chompoobodee, to teach the Dhamma and heal that King from Wrong Views and Maliciousness.

The Buddha himself in this Manifestation (Pang), represents success and victory, and Greatness, which is represented by the way the Buddha shamed the most powerful King in India into feeling inferior, through appearing as a Mirage of an even greater King, with an even more impressive kingdom.

In addition, the Buddha also invited King Paya Maha Chompoobodee to throw all of his most powerful magic curses and enchantments at him, which he accepted.

But Maha Chompoobodee wasn't able to harm the Buddha in any way at all This left the king feeling completely inferior and powerless in comparison to this great King, who was in truth the Buddha. He then took off his crown, and luxurious robes and jewelry, and bowed down to the Buddha, and asked to become ordained as one of his Bhikkhus.

These amulets are highly regarded for their power to heal feverish illnesses and ward off black magick. They are also full of Metta Mahaniyom, Maha Lap Klaew Klaad and Maha Pokasap Powers as well as the obvious Power of Serm Duang ability to improve fate and destiny.

They are filled with Puttakun Blessings of the Buddha, and offer Protection and Prosperity. Made from extremely rich admixture of sacred and magical Muan Sarn powders.

This amulet is 'Doo Ngaay' (easy to see it is real), for its clearly recognisable Muan Sarn. It is hence considered Ongk Kroo (usable as a teacher), as a reference model for further study to increase the powers of recognition of authenticity of the amulets of Luang Por Pina.

This is for its easily recognisable features and Muan Sarn Powders allow one to easily distinguish the authenticity of any other exhibit when held side by side for comparison, making it a Master Key for teaching the eyes to recognise Luang Por's famous Sacred Powders, as well as the effects of aging over the years, as to how discoloration and surface mildews should appear in a true authentic example of the Pra Pim Prasut of Luang Por Pina

Those examples which possess visible surface mildew risen up through the inner Muan Sarn Sacred Powder content to stick to the surface, are more highly prized due to the ease of authentication. Some examples will have white mildew stains, and others may appear to have a herbal lacquer painted on to areas of the surface. Both effects are results of the Muan Sarn substances rising up from the inside to escape through the pores of the outer surface.

Above and below; Close ups of the Muan Sarn and Mildew Stains on the surface of an authentic example of the Pra Somdej Praya Bparamadth amulet of Luang Por Pina.

Luang Por Pina is the deceased Abbot of Wat Sanom Lao in Sra Buri and was said to have possessed Abhinya Powers, and to have Mastered the 10 Kasina Powers of Elemental Magical Dominion. Below you can see another Sacred Amulet from this Master, the Famous Pra Pim Tao Wua Luang Por Pina.

It is said that Luang Por Pina was able to read the minds and intentions of other Humans, and bring amulets to life with is Empowerment Methods, and that his amulets were able to give signs and also can be beseeched and prayed to for wish fulfilment (Sarapat Neuk). There are many stories of Miraculous Events occurring through his amulets.

Luang Por Pina is known to have performed strange Magical feats in front of the eyes of his disciples many times, especially when devotees would ask him for an amulet. He would ask the devotee to lay down and open their eyes, and would take a handful of sand and pour it over their face, as they would hold the amulet in the hand.

But the sand would bounce back before it hit their eyes, and no matter how much was poured on the face, not a single grain of sand would be able to enter the eyes of the devotee, becoming repelled as if by a force field before it touched the eyes.

Above Pic; The corpse of Luang Por Pina which was found in meditation posture, dead since over 12 Hours, but was still warm, and not stiff, to the immense surprise of those who found him.

The surprise was because a corpse that is dead for over 12 hours, should be stiff as a board and cold.. his body was not mummified or given any special treatment according to his wishes and placed in his mausoleum.
