Historical Background
The Phra Somdej Nur Phong Namon B.E. 2515 is one of the most spiritually significant amulets of the early 1970s, created as part of a collaborative sacred project between Wat Chinoros, one of the royal temples in Bangkok, and Luang Phor Kuay, the famed master from Wat Kositaram, Chainat Province.
The project originated in B.E. 2512 (1969 CE), when sacred powders were collected, blessed, and initially consecrated. However, the final mould pressing and full-scale public blessing were held in B.E. 2515 (1972 CE).
This amulet was meant to commemorate Buddhist traditions, preserve ancient powder formulas, and provide blessings for protection, virtue, and fortune to lay practitioners during a time of rapid social and political change in Thailand.
Material Composition – Nur Phong Namon
The sacred powder used for this Somdej is known as Nur Phong Namon – meaning "powder infused with holy water".
Core Ingredients:
-
Phong Itthijay, Maharaj, and Trinisinghe – powders created from the recitation of key protective mantras
-
Phong Bailan – ashes of old palm-leaf Buddhist scriptures
-
Flower pollen, incense ash, and remnants from earlier sacred ceremonies
-
Holy water (Namon) collected from royal and temple ceremonies, used both in mixing and blessing
-
Powdered fragments of ancient amulets from Wat Chinoros and surrounding temples
-
Powder blessed by Luang Phor Kuay and other renowned monks from the region
This resulted in a dense yet spiritually rich texture, giving the amulet both tactile presence and metaphysical potency.
