Thanks to AJARN NOO for designing these beautiful designs - you can obtain the full design content by buying his book, either by click on the Book ad on the Navigation menu, or buy it directly at his Temple in Pathum Thani if you can get there

Please do not take these images to your tattooist, as Ajarn Noo has deliberately altered the Sanskrit katas on the designs to prevent Copycats!
I'm afraid to say that the only way to obtain the authentic version is to Recieve the Yant from an Authentic Master, such asHlwong Pi Pant (Wat bang Pra), or Ajarn Noo (Pathum Thani).

The Himapant Animals, and the Phenomenon of “Khong Khuen”

Himapant animals are Mythical animals from the Himapant forest of India (an ancient Legend). The Animals consist of a whole Pantheon of amazing creatures, such as the 'Kinnari' and 'Kinnorn' (Half man, half bird - those of you who have visited a Thai Temple may have seen some of these figures guarding the Temple grounds, along with the 'Yak' (Green and red Giants with big teeth).

There are so many different Himapant animals, most of them are mixed together from 2 or 3 different animal types, such as 'Macchaanu'; Hanuman's son, born of hanuman the monkey General, and 'Nang Suwanna Macchaa', a kind of mermaid. Macchaanu has a monkeys body and face, but posesses the tail of a fish! The Himapant animals represent elemental powers and Boddhisattwas (Compassionate protectors), and thus are considered very powerful as tattoo Magic.

One phenomenon that is apparently unexplainable about Yant tattoo is 'Khong Khuen', a kind of posession, where the tattooee recieves the tattoo of the Himapant animal and upon receiving the 'Kataa' (Mantra) blown into his tattoo from the Monk, he then becomes taken over by the spirit of the Himapant animal he recieved as a tattoo.

I have seen this phenomenon many times, and find it to be unexplainable.Some people may fake it i am sure, but some of the cases i have seen are undoubtably authentic. The subject is completely innocent to what happened when he was in trance.

Thais believe that the Himapant animals can rise to protect you in times of danger..but i also believ that they can rise up if you behave wrongly and do not respect the rules of wearing a Yant tattoo.

Anyone wishing to see this phenomenon should visit the Temple on 'Master Day' where thousands of disciples throng to pay respects to the deceased Master, Hlwong Por Phern. As to the rules of wearing a yant tattoo, there are many. A few of the more common ones are listed below;
