Description:

Golden Minnow King Takrud by Kruba Thakoon, Mae Phae Temple, Chiang Mai Province.

"Minnow" is a kind of fish that has outstanding natural characteristics. That is, even though it is a small and fragile fish, it can survive. Because minnows live together in groups, travel everywhere together, eat together, die together, leaving no one behind, rely on each other as a group with love and unity. Minnows have a harmonious bond where they support and uplift each other, moving forward together, facing challenges hand in hand, and celebrating successes as a team. Minnows usually live in water sources that are plentiful. As the days pass, the group of minnows will expand until they become larger and larger. With the characteristics of minnow, ancient masters and monks of Lanna created the magic named "Golden Minnow King (Pa Siew Kham)" that gives magical results in the fields of kindness, strong friendship, gathering loyal followers and rocky unity.

 

Kruba Thakoon said that this Golden Minnow King Takrud, Lanna people have long believed since ancient time that it has magic power to help the worshipers become loved by the people, surrounded by true friends and rich in many loyal followers. This Takrud will always attract good people to make friends. Anyone who sees the owner of it will want to get to know him/her more deeply, want to be close and be part of the same party. The owner will never lack friends or flock in every place, and also receive help and support from the public. It also helps to make a flexible living, business expands and prospers. Whenever the worshipers want some help, there will be many people coming to help the worshipers to achieve their desires as much as true friends will do.

 

For the making process of "Golden Minnow King Takrud", Kruba Thakoon brought a copper metal plate to write full formula magic characters together with a special blessing for each magic character at a specific auspicious time according to scripture. Kruba Thakoon used copper metal plate to make this Takrud because "Copper" is the elemental metal of Venus, the star of love. Therefore, it is considered to be an element of happiness & charming in itself. According to the science of western belief in alchemy, there is also an emphasis on this matter.

 

After that, Kruba Thakoon rolled the copper metal plate to be Takrud before covering it with various kinds of charming magic powder, such as holy chalkboard powder from Lanna's charming magic subjects, herbal powder that is made of special plants which has natural power in terms of popularity and reputation, and holy powder that Kruba Thakoon made from various sacred amulets that he has collected for a long time.

 

And the most special material is "Golden Minnow King Holy Chalkboard Powder" is a holy chalkboard powder that Kruba Thakoon made by using chalk sticks to write Golden Minnow King magic on the chalkboard before removing it into powder. Once Kruba Thakoon got a certain amount, Kruba Thakoon took the powder that has been accumulated over time to make it into bars. Then repeat the same steps. He intended to make this powder to be an important substance to enhance the power and benefits of Golden Minnow King Takrud.

 

Kruba Thakoon brought all the above-mentioned powder to grind through a special process in many steps until all the mass became finely powdered. Kruba Thakoon said that if the powder is not fine enough, when applying powder to cover Takrud, the surface of Takrud will not be smooth and beautiful. If the surface of Takrud is rough, then the additional Yantra cannot be engraved on the outside surface of Takrud nicely.

 

After Golden Minnow King Takrud was covered with magic powder completely, Kruba Thakoon took Golden Minnow King Takrud to lacquer it with black varnish and gild it with gold leaf according to the ancient method and then engraved Golden Minnow King Yantra to increase the strength of the magic power to be doubled. This technique is called "Good Outside, Good Inside". Every meticulous step mentioned above, Kruba Thakoon made entirely by his own hands to ensure that the sacred amulets he created would be beautiful in art and powerful in magic, perfectly completed to be a truly valuable item for the believers that will create the legend till the future generations.
