How to Make a Wish come True?
May your wish come true at Erawan Shrine"If you could for wishing for anything . . .what would it be?" Wish granting starts with one question -- a wonderful and magical question that indulges the imagination and empowers the spirit. The answer can be as simple as a new puppy, lucky in love or as complicated as cruising to the boutique resort in Maldive.
Every wish is different. And though everyone imagines an experience uniquely their own, there are some common themes among the requests to Make-A-Wish:
I wish to go . . .Some wish to visit a special place, like Hawaii to swim with the dolphins.
I wish to be. . .Others want to "be" a cowboy, a Doctor, or a Successful businessman.
I wish to meet. . .Meeting a beloved hero or the right guy/woman is another common wish.
I wish for. . .Acquiring that special something - a computer, new job with high salary or even lotto award.
Here! You can make a wish come true with the respect at Erawan Shrine (drop by BTS at Chit Lom Station) , the most respect and sacred status we call "Praprom" who is Hindu god wish has 4 faces.
San Phra Phrom or Erawan Shrine was created as a spirit house connected to the Erawan Hotel (Bangkok), which has now made way for the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel. The forces of the typical Thai spirit house didn't seem effective enough during the building of the hotel, so spiritual persons advised that it should be replaced with the four-headed image of Brahma or Phra Phrom in Thai. There have been no further hitches since then, and the shrine has become famous for bringing good fortune. The name Erawan comes from Brahma's thirty-three headed elephant.
People make a wish here and if it is granted, they come back to offer teak elephants or the Thai dancers of pay, which is considered as pay-back or thanks-giving to god.Labels: Thailand
