(5 cm. size) Chatukam Ramathep – “Rak Por (Love Father)” Edition – Wat Phra Borommathat, Nakhon Si Thammarat – 9 February 2007 – Wealth, Gold Fortune & Happiness Blessing – No.146

🟡 The Story Behind Jatukam Ramathep “Rak Por” Amulet, 2007

The Jatukam Ramathep “Rak Por” amulet was created in 2007 (B.E. 2550), during the peak of the Jatukam Ramathep phenomenon in Thailand.

The name “Rak Por” means “Love for Father.” The concept reflects the traditional Thai values of gratitude, respect, and devotion to one’s father.

During this period, many Jatukam Ramathep amulets were created with themes connected to the monarchy and the idea of “Father” as a symbol of gratitude and reverence.

What makes this edition particularly interesting is that it was also created with a charitable purpose.

According to information associated with the original project, the National Sports Journalists Association of Thailand organized the creation of the amulet to raise funds to support athletes with disabilities and Thai athletes who had brought recognition to the country.

So this was not simply an amulet created for people seeking fortune or prosperity. It also carried a charitable and commemorative purpose.

🔱 One of Its Most Remarkable Features: 9 Consecration Ceremonies

One of the most distinctive aspects of the Rak Por edition is its series of nine consecration ceremonies.

Sources concerning the edition give slightly different details regarding the exact sequence, but the ceremonies are associated with a number of important sacred sites in Thailand, including:

1. Wat Nang Phaya, Nakhon Si Thammarat
2. Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan, Nakhon Si Thammarat
3. Nakhon Si Thammarat City Pillar Shrine
4. Wat Phutthaisawan, Ayutthaya
5. A ceremony aboard a submarine near Ko Lan, Chonburi
6. Wat Phra Khao, Ayutthaya
7. Wat Khao Or, Phatthalung
8. Wat Phra Samut Chedi, Samut Prakan
9. The closing ceremony at Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan, Nakhon Si Thammarat

For collectors, the significance lies not only in the amulet itself, but also in the journey through these sacred locations and ceremonies.

🌊 Why Was a Ceremony Held on a Submarine?

This is perhaps the most unusual story associated with the edition.

According to accounts circulated about the original consecration, one ceremony was conducted aboard a submarine near Ko Lan, beneath the sea. The ritual reportedly included offerings of rice grains and flowers as offerings to the deities.

This led to descriptions of the edition as having participated in a historic underwater consecration ceremony.

It is important, however, to understand this as part of the traditional ritual and history surrounding the amulet. It should not be interpreted as scientific evidence that the sea, submarine, or ceremony gives an amulet supernatural powers.

For collectors, the story is significant because it represents an unusual combination of Thai spiritual tradition, ritual symbolism, and modern naval surroundings.

🧱 Sacred Materials Used in the Amulet

Another interesting aspect is the variety of materials said to have been gathered for the creation of the amulets.

Accounts associated with the edition mention materials such as:

• Roof tiles collected from 108 old temple buildings
• Incense powder collected from 108 sacred locations
• Consecrated holy water from 108 locations
• Sacred materials and woods from different parts of Thailand
• Materials associated with important Buddhist temples and sacred sites, including Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Rakhang, Wat Suthat, Wat Chang Hai, and others

The idea was not simply to produce a Jatukam Ramathep amulet from ordinary materials.

Rather, the project emphasized the concept of bringing together sacred materials associated with numerous temples and holy places throughout Thailand.

For collectors outside Thailand, this is an important part of understanding the cultural value of the piece: the story of the amulet is closely connected to the places, rituals, materials, and beliefs surrounding its creation.
