What is the Luang Pu Hmun Narai-on-Garuda medal (เหรียญนารายณ์ทรงครุฑ หลวงปู่หมุน)?
Luang Pu Hmun Thitasilo (หลวงปู่หมุน ฐิตสีโล), widely known to Chinese-speaking collectors as "Luang Pu Moon", was a revered monk of Wat Ban Jan (วัดบ้านจาน) in Sisaket, northeast Thailand. His fame grew enormously in his later years, and his amulets are keenly sought by Thai collectors.
The association certificate names this batch "เหรียญนารายณ์ทรงครุฑ", the Narai-on-Garuda medal. Narai (นารายณ์) is the Thai name for Vishnu, and Garuda (ครุฑ) is his mount and also the emblem of the Thai monarchy and government, a symbol of authority and protection. With the master's portrait on the front and Narai on the back, it is often described as a Narai portrait medal.
