Gao Yord (9 spire) Sak Yant

The 9 Spire Sak Yant represents the 9 peaks of the mythical mountain of the Gods which is called Mount Meru. Mount Meru is the Sanskrit name and it is sometimes referred to as Sinetu or Sumeru which is the Buddhist name. It is very sacred to both Buddhists and Hindus as it is considered to be the centre of the spiritual universe where many deities reside, including the Lord Buddha. Chinese pagodas and Buddhist temples are designed in a way that the pointy roofs are representations of the highest peak of Mount Meru. In Buddhist mythology it is believed that the sun and moon revolve around Mount Meru, and that as the Sun passes behind it, it becomes nighttime. The mountain has four faces — each one made of a different material; the northern face is made of gold, the eastern one is made of crystal, the southern one is made of lapis lazuli, and the western one is made from rubies.

As you can imagine, due to this, the 9 spire Sak Yant is considered to be a master / supreme Sak Yant which is extremely sacred amongst Buddhists and contains a very wide range of powers for protection. It is perhaps the most important Sak Yant to date and is very popular amongst Thais who will often choose the Gao Yord as their first Sak Yant because of its universal powers.

There are 9 sets of 3 ovals that sit on the top of the spires and these are representations of the Lord Buddha with each one bestowing special powers or spells. There are two main designs of the 9 spire as pictured below. The smaller one is the Burmese representation whereas the larger one with two lines of a script underneath is the Thai representation. The script is Khom, an ancient Khmer language.
