Garuda

The White Eagle of Vishnu

The vehicle (mount) of Vishnu is the eagle Garuda. Just as Nandi, Shiva\'s vâhana (mount) is most often placed facing the god\'s sanctuary, outside the temple, similarly Garuda is not always at Vishnu\'s side, but just in front of the central sanctuary. However, in many depictions, such as the Gajendramoksha scene, Vishnu rides his eagle which leads him through the heavens.

Generally, Garuda has a human face and eagle wings. Sometimes, only its body is human, with a raptor\'s face and wings. Both of his hands are brought in front of his chest and joined in a gesture of prayer. In metal images of Garuda, he is often seen with his left knee on the ground. A snake decorates his head (Garuda is a big fan of snake eating). In some cases, Garuda shows, with both hands, the abhaya and the varada mudra. Rarely, we see him carrying a pot of nectar in his right hand. Indeed, in his youth, Garuda had to transport the pot of nectar far from India, to fulfill a promise he had made to Kadru, the Mother of serpents.

Son of Kashyapa and Vinatâ (one of the daughters of Daksha), he would have stolen Amrita, the Nectar of Immortality of the Gods, in order to save the life of his mother, prisoner of the Nâga to whom, subsequently, he had a mortal hatred. Indra tried to fight her to regain possession of the sacred brew but could only achieve this through persuasion, because Garuda\'s formidable power and indomitable courage dissuaded any brutal action.

Garuda is the brother of Aruna, the charioteer of Sûrya. He had six sons from his union with Unnati.

Other names of Garuda are Vajrâjit, \"Stronger than lightning\", Suparna, \"He who has great wings\", Garutmân, \"The Chief of the Birds\", Sitâtana, \"He who has a white head\", Gaganeshvara , \"The Lord of the Sky\", Rasayana, \"He who is as fast as Mercury\", Nagantaka, \"The Destroyer of Naga Serpents\", etc., so many names and epithets which underline his qualities.

Thai amulets gained huge popularity in the 1800s during the reign of King Rama V, but their history goes back much further. Before the introduction of Buddhism to Thailand, tribal people probably carried magical talismans, as archaic images discovered in the country confirm.

The persistence of pre-Buddhist traditions

Unlike some major religions which seek to erase past practices, Buddhism in Thailand has preserved ancient customs. Buddhist monks continued to make amulets with pre-Buddhist symbols, ensuring the continuity of ancient beliefs.

A spiritual influence inherited from ancient India and Cambodia

Thai amulets draw their essence from a spiritual influence inherited from ancient India and its neighboring country, Cambodia. This combination of cultures is reflected in the symbols and representations found on Thai amulets.

The traditional transmission of crafts

Each Thai amulet is unique and carries a story. The making of these amulets is passed down from master to disciple, thus perpetuating ancestral techniques and talents.

Thai amulets in Theravada Buddhism

Theravada Buddhism, a branch of Buddhism widely practiced in Thailand, views amulets as a means of conveying the protection of the Buddha from the master to his disciples. They are imbued with spirituality and the grace of the Buddha.

Symbols and beliefs

Thai amulets possess symbolism deeply rooted in the Buddhist, animist and Hindu beliefs of Thai culture. According to these beliefs, certain amulets are renowned for their power and their ability to bring benefits.

Thai amulets: sacred objects according to individual beliefs

Although Thai amulets may be enjoyed as home decor items in the West, they hold sacred meaning to Thai people, depending on their personal beliefs.
