Phra Khun Paen Run Mekarashi Mahachoklap Nur Phong Si Deang (Red) BE2565 Luang Phor Maha Sila Wat Pho Si Saat Code 37

What is the Phra Khun Paen by Luang Pu Maha Sila from Wat Pho Si Saat?

The Phra Khun Paen Luang Pu Maha Sila — run (edition) name Mekarashi Mahachoklap — is a BE 2565 temple-support release from Wat Pho Si Saat in Sisaket Province. Pressed in Nur Phong Si Deang (red sacred powder blend), it was consecrated under Luang Pu Maha Sila and is traditionally associated with metta, chok lap, and klaew klaad.

The run, the temple, and why this batch was made

BE 2565 (2022) marks this as a contemporary release, created specifically to support restoration and development work at Wat Pho Si Saat. That purpose matters to collectors because it anchors the batch to a defined period and a documented institutional reason — not a general production run. The full edition name, Mekarashi Mahachoklap, is the distinguishing label that separates this issue from other Khun Paen releases out of the same temple.

For cataloguing, keep the four identifiers together: run name, BE 2565, Wat Pho Si Saat, and Luang Pu Maha Sila. Lose any one of those and the piece becomes harder to verify against collector references down the line. This is standard practice across the broader Thai Buddhist amulet tradition, where naming precision is the first layer of provenance.

Nuea, muan sarn, and how the phong was composed

The nuea (material/substance) here is Nur Phong Si Deang — a red-toned phong (sacred powder blend). Powder pieces in general reward close inspection: look at how firmly the material was pressed, whether the surface carries fine pores, and how the texture has settled. A well-pressed piece holds its edges cleanly.

The muan sarn (sacred powder blend) stated for this batch draws from three main components. Phong Wahn 108 — powders derived from 108 sacred herbs. Phong Bailan — ground from consecrated scripture leaves. And continuity materials: powder from earlier blessed amulets combined with pollen and sacred soil from significant sites. Luang Pu Maha Sila is attributed as the primary monk overseeing consecration and empowerment of this batch, with the pluk sek (consecration ceremony) tied to the temple-support event.

What collectors watch for when assessing this piece

Because this is a modern release, age patina is not the primary authentication lever — documentation is. The strongest position is a clear photo set covering front, back, and side, combined with a reliable provenance chain back to temple source or a trusted collector reference.

• Run name consistency: Mekarashi Mahachoklap should appear accurately in any associated paperwork or listing history.
• BE year: 2565 — cross-check against any accompanying temple documentation.
• Nuea colour and texture: Si Deang (red tone) with the characteristic surface of a phong press — fine pore structure, firm edges.
• Monk and temple attribution: Luang Pu Maha Sila and Wat Pho Si Saat, Sisaket Province.

No certificate is listed for this piece. That places the authentication weight squarely on provenance, photo documentation, and cross-referencing with known collector records for this run. Treat any “limited quantity” claim carefully unless production numbers are independently documented.
