Description
Phaya Krut, also known as the Garuda, is one of the most revered mythical beings in Thai, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions. As the celestial mount of Lord Vishnu (Narai in Thai) and a symbol of power, protection, and authority, Phaya Krut holds significant spiritual and cultural importance in Thailand. The image of the Garuda is not only found in temples and religious artifacts but is also prominently displayed as the national emblem of Thailand, signifying sovereignty and divine authority.
For centuries, Phaya Krut amulets have been worn by those seeking invincibility, success, wealth, and protection from negative forces. These amulets are highly sought after, particularly by business owners, government officials, military personnel, and those in positions of power.
The legend of Phaya Krut originates from Hindu mythology, where he is described as the mighty king of birds and the eternal enemy of the Naga . Garuda was born from Vinata and the sage Kashyapa, and he was destined to possess immense power, speed, and intelligence.
In Thai beliefs, Garuda is closely associated with Phra Narai, the Thai name for Lord Vishnu, who rides upon him to protect the universe from evil. As a result, Garuda represents divine strength, righteousness, and unwavering loyalty.
