Path to Wealth: The Garuda Mantra by Luang Por Wora — When Is the Most Powerful Time to Chant During Songkran?

When it comes to the most powerful talisman at this moment, it has to be the "Garuda," especially the version from Luang Por Wora of Wat Pho Thong, which devotees deeply trust. It is "powerful and effective," especially during Songkran 2026. This period is considered a great emperor's auspicious time, perfect for worship to receive new energy and support one’s fortune.

Worshiping the Garuda requires "gratitude and sincerity."

Many may wear the Garuda for beauty or luck, but Luang Por Wora always kindly teaches that the "heart" that grants blessings is gratitude. The Garuda is a deity with supreme gratitude toward his mother. Those who care well for their parents and are sincere in their work will have the Garuda spread his wings to protect and swiftly bring them prosperity.

Auspicious timing and steps for Garuda worship during Songkran 2026 (at home).

For home worship, it is recommended to perform on "Maha Songkran" or "Wan Nao" day to cleanse old curses and receive fresh, clean energy into your life. The following are the preparation steps for offerings.

1. Prepare auspicious offerings.

• Five incense sticks (representing the five elements) or nine sticks (according to auspicious number beliefs).
• One pair of candles (pure beeswax candles are considered very powerful).
• Five types of fruit emphasizing auspicious colors, such as oranges (good luck), bananas (easy success), and coconuts (purity).
• One glass of clean, clear water.

2. How to set up the altar.

Place the Garuda image in an appropriate spot (if in a condo or limited space home, set the altar facing east or north). Begin the worship in the morning, a time of light.

Once the offerings are arranged, focus your mind, think of the merits of Luang Por Wora and the Garuda, then recite the following mantra.

"Karupija Kitimanta Ma A U Om Phaya Garuda Ruj Ruj Laew Ruay Na Dieng Ngoen Na Dai Thong Na Dai Sap Na Metta Na Lang Athap Na Jaroen Na Man Khong Athithami"

After finishing the chant, concentrate and make a sincere wish focusing on stability and success.

Why worship the Garuda during Songkran?

Astrologically, Songkran marks the Sun’s entry into Aries, a time of energy transition. Worshiping the Garuda, symbolizing the Sun and a powerful divine bird, helps "clear curses" and negative carryovers from the past year and enhances your power and prestige for a prosperous new Thai year.

Worshiping the Garuda according to Luang Por Wora’s tradition during Songkran is not just about wealth but is founded on upholding goodness and gratitude.
