Ajarn Od of Wat
Saimai is one of the rising "young" stars of the Thai Buddhist amulet world (the other being
Ajarn Daeng of Wat
Rai in
Pattani). Wat
Saimai is located in the
Rangsit area of Bangkok, near the old airport. When I was there (on 18.01.2008), the temple was thronging with hundreds of Thai people all waiting and queuing up to see
Ajarn. They were there because it was the launching day(s) of a new batch of amulets from the temple, and
Ajarn was also giving out freebies. I only managed to cut queue and meet him thanks to my driver, who told the police officer guarding his
kuti that I was from Singapore. The kind officer let us in specially to see
Ajarn in consideration that I have come a long way (sort of). Coincidentally, another brother from Singapore also happened to be there for the same purpose.
Ajarn Od drawing Yants on my Rians. He looked quite serious, but he was actually quite capable of joking with us; he offered to test the protective power of the
takruts he gave me by hacking me on the back with his sword! Obviously I declined, to the laughter of those people present. Whew!
These are the you-know-what
takruts I received from
Ajarn. On the right are
Ajarn Od's first batch of
Rian (medallions). Each person was only limited to getting 3 pieces, so I bought 3 and gave one of them to my driver in appreciation for his help. Before I went to Bangkok, I did not know
Ajarn's story. Then on further enquiry, my driver told me that sometime ago one of the Thai princes tested out
Ajarn Od's takruts by trying to shoot him with a pistol. The prince tried 3 times, but the pistol failed to work
everytime due to the protective power of the
takrut. He was amazed and prostrated before the master. So from that time
Ajarn Od became famous and many people went to Wat
Saimai to pay respect to him. I seriously count myself lucky that I too was able to meet him and receive
takruts from him.

You should go for the hacking. i did & it's not testing of the takrud. it's more like blessing. :)

I also heard the same story of the Thai Prince who tested the power of the takruds of Ajahn Od Wat Sai Mai from a Lumpor who is from Hatyai.

Hi Wayne,
I was looking for a Meed Mor from Wat Saimai and bought one from ebay. But I could not find the stamp from the temple on my Meed Mor sheath. Could you advise me where is the stamp located and what does it look like? Thanks.

Ajarn Od is a very great yet humble monk. I visit him in Wat Saimai very often. The takrut, the bullet and his blessing is very powerful.
