Hanuman Yantra หนุมาณรบกับช้าง
Hanuman fights with the Vehicle and Consort Animal of the God Indra; Erawan
Hanuman breaks the neck of the 33 headed elephant vehicle of Indra – Erawan. This yant is from a scene in the Ramakian (ramayana) story.
The scene depicts the part of the Ramakian Epic where Hanuman breaks the neck of the Elephant Erawan, Sacred Vehicle of the Brahmin Deity, Indra. In fact, it is Intarachit riding on his elephant Karunraj who morphs out and turns into the manifestaions of Indra and Erawan.
Erawan has 33 heads, 7 tusks protruding from each of his 7 heads. Each of these tusks is dressed with seven lotus ponds, with 7 lotus flowers in each pond, each flower had seven petals, with 7 angels on each petal, each of these angels have 7 Heavenly ladies in their entourage.
Surin Elephan herders
This Yant was used by Surin* Elephant herders when an Elephant will not be tamed, or is unruly. The yant should be inscribed on a cloth, or kite paper, and is tied to the leg joint of the elephant. The animal will do as indicated, sleep, work and eat as ordered.It can of course, also be tattooed, if you consider that each yant also has higher inner meanings than are applied for the general uses assumed by the common folk.
* Surin – Surin is a Region to the East of Thailand, close to the Khmer border. Surin is one of the Provinces most renowned for Khmer magick.

the more i read about yan sak, the more i looked at the scripture, i feel that thai and khmer are one race however, they were seperate by changing scripture and language. some word in thai are same in khmer. there should be more research done. have you ever wonder thai claimed on certain thing such as preah vihea temple? is it possible we are the same race and claiming the same thing from our ancestor.
well if you see in the long run how cultures rise and fall, emerge and disappear, the lines on a map wander to and fro, and those very lines are just mental concepts/formations. So just as the Buddha taught us that all things are empty of ownership and also impermanent, he also taught us that all phenomena, including the concept of race and culture are simply what is called in Pali “Sangkhara” meaning mental formations, with no real substance. All things are constantly changing and falling into dissolution and eventual disappearance. Nothing can remain in the same state constantly. Therefore to say we are perhaps from the same race, then yes, of course, but not in the sense of Khmer and Thai, rather in the sense of being sentient beings lost in Samsara, undergoing perpetual change, birth and rebirth in countless lives. Bodily, we are also related in the sense that we are all composed of the same four elements – five if you wish to include the mind , 6 if you wish to include the space/vacuum/firmament element too.
