Kata Jatukam Ramatep
Chanting Katas (Mantras/Prayers) to worship Jatukam RamatepDue to the massive popularity in revering Jatukam Ramatep in Singapore, i have decided to publish the correct way to rever this Boddhisattwa, both for chanting for empowerment of your amulet before ptting it on, and also for worship on your altar as a statue or picture (or even just in your heart in the case you do rever him but cant afford a statue, it doesn't matter, what matters is in your heart, not on the altar)
The Kata to chant before putting on your Jatukam Ramatep amulet each day is always preceded (as are all katas), with the praise to the Buddha;
"Namo Dtassa Pakawadto Arahadto Sammaaa Samputtassa" (always chant this 3 times) with the Jatukam amulet between your praying hands, above your head, and then hold it to your forehead and ask Jatukam to watch over you, lend you respect from others, protect from dangers, increase your wealth and power/influence or whatver requests you have. Forbidden to request anything which might harm other beings, for Jatukam is a Bodhisattwa (Compassionate Deva).Face the South when doing this and you will succeed in your strivings.Traditionally, you can paint color on your Jatukam but it is forbidden to paint red color - at best is to color him ocean blue like the sea, for he protects the seas and seafarers too, and is guardian of the Ocean. Chant the kata beelow whilst holding the amulet to your forehead.
