Phra Sivali Thera (Million-Billionaire)
Phra Ajarn Amnat Mahaveero, Mahaveero Meditation Center, Chaiyaphum Province.
Phra Sivali, the Million-Kotiaire.
Phra Sivali was one of the Buddha's Arahants (enlightened disciples) during his lifetime. In Buddhist scripture, he is renowned as the "foremost among those who obtain requisites." This means he was exceptional at attracting offerings, blessings, and good fortune, not just for himself but also for those around him. Ancient wisdom states, "Even merely uttering his name or chanting the heart mantra of Phra Chim Phli, 'Na Cha Thiti' – a profound incantation reaching Phra Sivali with reverence and devotion, offerings and blessings will flow to that person like a river. All forms of abundance will suddenly manifest."
Phra Sivali Thera, the Arahant who bestows fortune, had an interesting story from the time of the Buddha. There was a young woman from a merchant family named Supawadee. She had deep faith and immense respect for Phra Sivali Thera. After receiving blessings from Phra Sivali Thera, no matter where she and her parents went to trade, people were kind and loving, and their sales were outstanding, always yielding overflowing profits. Supawadee became well-known among Thai people as Mae Nang Kwak (the beckoning lady).
This amulet of Phra Sivali in the Thudong (ascetic pilgrimage) posture is a form that revered monk masters (Phra Keji Thera-Archan) commonly create as an object of worship. Worshipping him is believed to bestow good luck and fortune, lead to success in all endeavors, fulfill all wishes, bring honor and praise, command respect, and ensure one never goes hungry. Food, clothing, money, and necessities will be plentiful, leading to a happy life.
Phra Sivali is one of Thailand's most Arahants for making sculptures and is believed to have miraculous powers to bestow Great luck or good fortune to those who revere him. Those who have not been having much luck or financial fortune and have money problems can have a statue of Phra Sivali in their house for reverence or perhaps an amulet to carry them. This will help to increase the merits of the wearer.
