Background of Phor Gae Legend
Phor Gae, the elder or sometime called the hermit is a great teacher of acting.
The ancient text says there are all 108 hermits. Samurtain posture hermit is considered as the most powerful of all 108 hermits. The word Reusi (hermit ) is derived from Reusi means the people who gets special knowledge of meditation.
This special power can see past, present and future. And sometimes called Phor Gae as a “Trikancholya”. means past present and future well-informed person. In addition, Phor Gae is also considered as the knowledge giver to humanity.
Phra Lersi are Indian hermits who are credited to be the founders and patron saints of various professions like doctors, religious tattooists, white magic practitioners, herbalists and many others.
There are a total of 108 sacred hermits who are recognised by name and many others who are not. Most often than not, all 108 of the hermits are represented by a generic image of a wisely old man wearing a conical hat and tiger skin robes but there are also specific images who represent specific Phra Lersi.
In Indian mythology, Phra Lersi received worldly knowledge from the gods and taught these knowledges to men. Thus, these Phra Lersi are also the masters of knowledge and are frequently worshipped by students and people in academic pursuits.
As Phra Lersi are also credited to be the founders of the Thai magical arts, they feature prominently on the altars of magical practitioners in Thailand and are invoked in rituals.
By carrying with oneself the images of Phra Lersi, one can be protected from all forms of black magic and evil spirits as well. Students are also recommended to wear his image as he is able to aid one in studies and knowledgeable pursuits.
