History about the most expensive Takrut in the amulets market -Takrut Koo Chivit
Takrut Koo Chivit, Luang Phor Pit, Wat Kamang, Pichit
If you are trying to research Luang Phor Pit, you may find this somewhat difficult unless you first realize that Wat Kamang, also has a number of other names in general use. Wat Kamang, is sometimes abbreviated to Wat Mang.(note…also sometimes referred to as Wat Rakhang) and also referred to as Wat Bang Moon Naak.
Luang Phor Pit was born in BE 2415 and passed away at the age of 73 in BE 2488
During that period it was typical to charge only about 10 Stang (1 baht = 100 stang) His takrut amulets were competing against those created by other famous monks of that era including Luang Poo Iam of Wat Nang, Luang Phor Bhoti of Wat Wangmanao, Luang Phor Iam of Wat Sapansoong, etc, But such was the notoriety of his takruts the higher prices were justified.
He created many kinds of sacred amulets including many very famous Luang Phor Ngern pims, which nowadays are highly sought after as it is thought that the sacred power is equal to those originally created by Luang Phor Ngern himself.
However the amulets that made him most famous are his sacred takrut, which he blessed during the period BE 2470 – BE 2485. In fact these takrut when created were some of the most expensive in Thailand priced at about 10 baht each.
The money gained from the sale of his Takruts was used to support his charitable works and the re-construction of Wat Samkha. Although Luang Phor Pit was the nephew and close disciple of Luang Phor Ngern of Wat Wangtago, his sacred Trakut amulets were at the time more popular than those of Luang Phor Ngern. Nowadays most of his takrut are quite expensive but very popular.
Luang Phor Pit also taught the sacred science to create Takrut amulets to Luang Phor Tiang of Wat Khao-roopchang, who also became famous as a result.
Many of Luang Phor Pit’s Takrut were made of Neua Tagua a type of Thai lead which also contain a brass plate at the centre called “Ua Tong-lerng”, inserted to provide rigidity and strength. The sacred Yant which Luang Phor Pit hand engraved on his takrut was known as Yant Koo Chivit or Yant Asisunti.
Apart from Luang Phor Ngern, Luang Phor Pit also learned sacred sciences from other senior monks of many temples such as Wat Huakong, Wat Wangprap, Wat Bang Pai, Wat Dongpakum, Wat Samkha, Wat Yai, etc, one of the reasons that his power was considered so strong.
One of the main reasons that made Luang Phor Pith’s Takrut amulets so sacred was because of the yant known as Asisunti. Luang Phor Pit learnt the sacred science to create this spell from Luang Phor Ngern. Yant Asisunti was also known as “Yant Koo Chivit” because the sacred power of the spell could protect individuals from weapons. (Note: “Koo Chiwit” means something that if attached to someone would help save life.)
