Powerful Jatukam Ramathep
Jatukam Ramathep is currently one of the most popular amulets in Thailand. The "Jatukam Ramathep" amulet originates from the Nakhon Si Thammarat region, an area famous for its rich history in amulet crafting. Temples in this region are fervently producing "Jatukam Ramathep" amulets, driven by their immense popularity and stellar reputation. Due to the widespread popularity of "Jatukam Ramathep," these amulets have become highly sought after, with their value skyrocketing, making them highly desirable for wearing, collecting, and worshipping.
The "Jatukam Ramathep" amulet was crafted by a retired police officer who later became a white-clad monk, known as "Khun Phan." Khun Phan is renowned for his many miraculous deeds, and even after his death, there have been reports of his spiritual manifestations. Khun Phan assisted numerous famous temples in creating amulets, all of which are known for their potent efficacy, particularly the "Jatukam Ramathep" amulet, which propelled Khun Phan to great fame. Since the deity Jatukam Ramathep governs wealth and power, it is said that wearing the Jatukam Ramathep amulet can ward off evil, protect against danger, enhance both regular and unexpected fortunes, repel malicious people, improve relationships, increase authority, advance careers, and boost business success.
Currently, there is a massive surge of interest in amulets throughout Thailand, driven by the belief in their mystical powers. However, no place exhibits this fervor as intensely as Nakhon Si Thammarat, the birthplace of these amulets. Today, almost every second person in Thailand wears an amulet. Nakhon Si Thammarat is an ancient city that became a religious and cultural center as early as the 13th century. The layout of the streets and the remnants of the old city walls still reflect the appearance of the ancient city.
Long ago, during a period of turmoil and war, there was a king and two princes. After years of conflict, the king finally conquered Sri Lanka, adding it to his kingdom. The king was a devout Buddhist and possessed a relic of the Buddha’s physical remains, which he revered deeply. One day, the king was set to depart for the newly conquered land and ordered the two princes to protect the Buddha's relic with their lives.
Soon after, the princes received intelligence that a neighboring country planned to attack and steal the relic. They immediately informed the king in Sri Lanka, who commanded them to send the relic to Sri Lanka by sea to prevent it from being damaged or stolen during the war. However, while transporting the relic, the princes encountered a massive storm that nearly sank their entire ship. Miraculously, only the two princes survived, washed ashore on an unfamiliar coast. Not only were they grateful for their lives, but they were also thankful that they had managed to save the relic.
Due to the storm, they could no longer transport the relic by sea to Sri Lanka. The two princes prayed sincerely to the relic, expressing their gratitude for surviving the storm and asking for help in surviving in this strange new land. With the help of the relic and their own efforts, they were able to establish a prosperous life in this place. They built a temple and founded a thriving kingdom, naming the place Nakhon Si Thammarat, located in southern Thailand. The temple they built, Wat Mahathat, became famous, and the relic was enshrined there. The story was recorded on a temple stele.
Because these two princes risked their lives to protect the relic and built a temple to enshrine it, they were beloved by the people and highly respected, even by the gods. They were ultimately venerated as highly esteemed guardian deities.
