Lord Yama by Arjarn Pien Hatthayanon, Khao Aor.
Series: The Righteous Deity (Year 2018)

Lord Yama or Lord Yamaraj, is the deity of death and the sovereign ruler of the underworld. He is revered as the divine being who governs the life and death of all living beings. This amulet marks the first time in Southern Thailand that Lord Yama has been created in the form of a cast metal statue by Arjarn Pien Hatthayanon of the Khao Aor Institution. He is a direct successor of the sacred magical knowledge passed down from Phra Arjarn Pan of Wat Khao Aor.

This creation is highly significant, as traditionally, Lord Yama is cast as a large altar statue, and it is rare to find him in a smaller, wearable statue form. For this version, a wide array of sacred metals was collected from revered masters across all regions, North, Northeast, Central, and South, including fragments from the casting of principal Buddha images from various temples. All materials are imbued with sacred power and spiritual energy.

Lord Yama is believed to oversee human lives and determine whether a person’s time has come, whether their destiny is rising or falling. For those facing bad fortune, Lord Yama possesses the power to transform and improve their fate. Especially for those who consistently perform good deeds and avoid evil, Lord Yama assigns two celestial scribes who serve as divine registrars of the dead: Suwan, who records merits, and Suwan, who records misdeeds. Every action, whether good or bad, is recorded and never escapes his divine sight.

Worshippers of Lord Yama are believed to enjoy longevity, protection from illness, and freedom from malevolent spirits. Even if one unknowingly worships inauspicious items or becomes afflicted by dark magic, carrying this sacred image offers powerful protection and repels negative forces. As the sovereign over all spirits, no evil force dares to approach him.

Important Note: Lord Yama should be worn above the waist to receive full blessings of auspiciousness. It is a sacred item of great spiritual merit and is well worth worshipping and collecting.

Consecration Ceremony: Held on February 27, 2018, at Wat Khao Aor, presided over by senior masters of the Khao Aor lineage and Arjarn Pien Hatthayanon, the senior lay master of the tradition.
