Gebruiker:Yasamota

Yasamota The history of Yasamota starts in 1987 in Ayuttaya, the ancient capital of Thailand. Here a young man with a spiritual background, visits markets and such and gets in touch with the authentic traditional customs and sacred spiritual tattoos. For two decades he studies the protective rituals and spells that has been passed on from generation to generation. He is the first person outside of Thailand to receive from the Thai temple the blessing and permission to write and tattoo Sak Yant tattoos in secret Khom script. In subsequent years, places he visits include the Far East, Central America and Brazil, where he becomes further acquainted with the astounding power, simplicity and beauty of the traditional rituals and body modification.

A Protective tattoo is not just a tattoo. The tattoo is mythical and the mantras are written in a mix of ancient Khom scripture, Oracle scripture and protective symbols.

SAK YANT TATTOO Sak means "tapping" or "tattooing", and Yant is derived from Yantra, which means "sacred geometrical design”. What meaning do the different types Yant have? A good understanding will increase the power of the Yant. The lines that are drawn in the Yant represent the umbilical cord of the Buddha, and are traditionally known as' the bones of the Yant'. There are many different types of Yantra, such as: the round Yant, triangular and four-sided Yant. There are even illustrated Yants.

Round Yant - represents the face of the Buddha (Pra Pact Pra Putta Jao) in the Brahmanical tradition, with Brahma as meaning.

Triangular Yant - represents the three jewels of the Buddha Dharma and Sangha (Pra Put, Pra Tamm, Pra Songk). In the Brahmanical tradition, the three Lords of Heaven are applied as the meaning (Shiva Brahma, Vishnu).

Four-sided Yant - represents the four elements/continents (earth, water, air and fire).

Illustrated Yant - represents different angels, people and mystical creatures (Sathw Himapant).

Onk Pra represents the Buddha himself.

The symbol of the crescent moon, which is often seen above "Onk Pra", represents the moon which lights our way in our dark hours. The small circle (sun symbol) which can be seen above many Yants represents the sun which lights our way during the day, and that all people and living beings exist under the influence of the stars and planets, and that these forces enable us to develop ourselves and bring change.

The spiral zigzag line above each Yant is called Unaalome. Unaalome represents the saints who have achieved the status of 'enlightened creatures'. The chains of desire have been disconnected and set aside. These creatures don't become insecure on their path, like normal people do. The spiral in the middle represents the crown of the head of the Buddha. In short: The ultimate way to Nirvana.

All Yants are usually completed with the incantation of a mantra (Pra Kataa) in Pali Sanskrit, which is then blown into the Yant with your breath (called Phao Kataa/Puug Saeg).

Most Pra Kataa end with the phrase/saying "Ma AU".
