Songkran 2026 is not only the Thai New Year and Family Day but also regarded as a "Day of Gratitude," when descendants honor their benefactors. This aligns with the legend of "Lord Garuda," the king of birds known for his exceptional filial piety toward his mother. Worshiping Lord Garuda during this period is believed to propel life forward into the new year with great momentum.
According to ancient belief, "Lord Garuda" symbolizes the most powerful form of gratitude, stemming from the story where he fought divine beings to bring the nectar of immortality to save his mother from slavery. This profound filial devotion is a great spiritual force. Worshiping Lord Garuda, as taught by Luang Por Wora of Wat Pho Thong, the King of Garuda, during Songkran carries significant spiritual merit.
Songkran marks the transition to a new year. Worshiping Lord Garuda helps harness the "power of spiritual merit" to cleanse curses and sweep away negativity carried over from the old year, especially for those experiencing a Zodiac Conflict Year (Pee Chong). Lord Garuda’s power aids in removing obstacles and evil influences from one’s life.
With Garuda’s nature of soaring above all, worshiping Lord Garuda at the start of the Thai New Year boosts one’s prestige, elevates career status, earns respect from subordinates, and fosters rapid progress—just like Garuda soaring through the skies.
Lord Garuda, also known as "Lord Suban," is believed to guard the heavenly treasure vault. Worshiping him during this auspicious time is like opening the path to fortune, attracting wealth to flow abundantly, and protecting one’s assets securely.
