As the sun enters Aries, Songkran 2026 marks a time of auspiciousness, when heaven and earth open the way to cleanse misfortunes and dispel negative influences, welcoming wealth and prosperity.
Thairath Online delves into the prestige of "Luang Pho Worah" of Wat Pho Thong, the originator of the "King of Garuda," a figure no spiritual follower can miss during this time of new beginnings.
When speaking of revered master monks skilled in mystical arts today, the name Phra Kru Wisit Phitthayakhom, or Luang Pho Worah Punyavaro, abbot of Wat Pho Thong in Rat Burana district, stands foremost among collectors and devotees of Phaya Garuda. He created the phenomenon known as "Garuda Fever," shaking Thailand's sacred amulet community.
His background is especially interesting. Born to a family with diverse beliefs (a Muslim father and a Buddhist mother), Luang Pho Worah ordained as a monk in 1985. A critical turning point came during his ascetic travels and meditation when he had visions of Phaya Garuda and Phaya Muchalinda Naga granting him a mission to build merit and aid devotees.
Songkran is not only the Thai New Year but also a "Day of Gratitude," aligning with Phaya Garuda's principal virtue of supreme filial piety. Worshiping Phaya Garuda under Luang Pho Worah's blessing at this time holds three significant meanings.
1. Cleansing curses and dispelling misfortunes from the past year (Zodiac Conflict Year) through spiritual power.
2. Great power to enhance prestige, helping careers soar like Garuda soaring through the skies.
3. Treasure opening, inviting fortune through Phaya Suban’s believed role as guardian of heavenly treasures.
It must be said, by word of mouth among government officials, military, police, and businessmen, there is unanimous affirmation. "Luang Pho Worah’s Garuda... truly transforms lives." Notable legendary editions include the "Kod Ruay," "Curse Cleansing," and "Great Prestige" series, each undergoing powerful blessing ceremonies according to the sacred knowledge Luang Pho Worah received from his visions.
For those starting the spiritual path with Phaya Garuda or collectors seeking to enhance merit for the Thai New Year, these three editions are the "top picks," recognized for their strong spiritual efficacy and high market demand.
Considered among the "five treasures" of the Garuda line, sought after by collectors worldwide. The auspicious name was chosen by Luang Pho to help devotees transform their status from poverty to wealth, and from wealth to great fortune, through a continuous flow of luck.
Renowned for removing black magic, resolving Zodiac Conflict Year issues, and dispelling evil. For those feeling stuck, encountering obstacles, or working in unfavorable Feng Shui conditions, worshiping this edition during Songkran is like a "reset" for a fresh, pure start in life.
Focused on immense power, governance, and promotion. Ideal for civil servants, company employees seeking advancement, and business owners managing large teams.
Worshiping Phaya Garuda during the grand Songkran is not just about wearing an amulet but involves a crucial "heart" that Luang Pho Worah often kindly teaches his disciples: worship with "gratitude" and "truthfulness."
"Garuda is foremost in filial piety. Those who are grateful to their parents, teachers, and sincere in their work will receive the deity’s protection and support, causing their destiny to soar swiftly."
Recommended to perform on "Maha Songkran" or "Wan Nao" to receive fresh energy.
"Karupija Kitimantang Ma A U Om Phaya Garuda Ruj Ruj Lae Ruay Na Ngern Na Dai Thong Na Dai Sap Na Metta Na Lang Atap Na Charoen Na Mankhong Athithami."
This Songkran 2026, if you seek a spiritual anchor filled with prestige and great power, Luang Pho Worah’s Phaya Garuda is the answer—not just a matter of mysticism but a reminder to uphold gratitude and virtue, ensuring a smooth and stable year ahead.
