Biography

Phra Khru Wiharn Kit Janukan (Luang Por Pan) was born Pan Suttawong on July 16, 1875, during the reign of King Chulalongkorn, in Ban Bang Nom Ko, Sena District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province. He was the son of Mr. Sa-at and Mrs. Im Suttawong. In 1896, he was ordained as a monk at the ordination hall of Wat Bang Nom Ko, with Luang Por Sun from Wat Bang Pla Mo as his preceptor, Phra Achan Choi from Wat Ban Phaen as his instructor, and Phra Achan Um from Wat Suthaphoch as his mentor. He was given the monastic name “Sanno Tho” by his preceptor. After studying under Luang Por Sun for some time, he continued his studies in Buddhist teachings at Wat Saket Ratchaworamahawihan and Wat Chao Chet Nai. He also learned traditional medicine at Wat Sangwech and studied further with Luang Por Niam and Luang Por Hong Indasuwanno, former abbots of Wat Khlong Maduan. Luang Por Pan mastered the creation of clay Buddha amulets from the hermit Chipa Khao and learned the consecration of sacred amulets and the casting of the Diamond Armor Yantra from Achan Jang of Sukhothai. He also received the Pacceka Buddha Mantra from his teacher, Khru Phueng from Nakhon Si Thammarat.

Later, he returned to Wat Bang Nom Ko, and on November 6, 1931, he was granted the royal title of Phra Khru Wiharn Kit Janukan, a certified ecclesiastical position.

After having his meal at noon, Luang Por Pan would spend his afternoons providing help to villagers. He also made holy water to heal the sick, including those affected by black magic.

Luang Por Pan passed away on July 26, 1938, during the reign of King Ananda Mahidol. He was 63 years old, having served 42 years as a monk. He left behind valuable legacies such as clay Buddha amulets, Diamond Armor Yantras, various types of yantra cloths, and the Pacceka Buddha Mantra, which were passed down to his disciples. His disciple, Luang Por Lek Kesaro, succeeded him as the fourth abbot of Wat Bang Nom Ko.
