University Seal
The Royal Seal refers to the seal used to attach the King's signature to important personal documents unrelated to government affairs.
The royal seal of King Rama IX depicts a brick throne. It consists of a chakra, with the character U or the number 9 in the center. Around the chakra, there is a radiance in the shape of seven layers of white. It is located on the Itthit Throne Hall, symbolizing the King's royal authority in the land. On the coronation day, in accordance with ancient royal tradition, His Majesty sat above the Itthit Throne Hall while members of Parliament offered royal water from all eight directions. This was the first time in history that a democratic monarch received royal water from members of Parliament, instead of receiving it from the Royal Academy as in the previous reign.
The seal is oval-shaped and contains the royal
seal of His Majesty the King, surrounded by the name of the university
in both Thai and English. It is composed of five different colors:
Blue | represents the monarchy that gave birth and bestowed the name "Rajabhat University". |
Green | represents the natural locations of all 40 Rajabhat universities in beautiful environments. |
Orange | represents the prosperity of local arts and culture that has advanced in the 40 Rajabhat universities. |
Gold | symbolizes prosperity in wisdom. |
White | represents the pure thoughts of His Majesty's wise men. |
University Buddha statue
พระพุทธสัพพัญญู บรมครูประชานาถ สังฆราชอุทิศ | พระพุทธสัพพัญญู บรมครูประชานาถสังฆราชอุทิศ องค์จำลอง |
The Buddha statue at Nakhon Sawan Rajabhat University, called the Omniscient Buddha Borom Khru Prachanat, Sangharaja Uthit, portrays the Buddha in the Khanthararat posture. It resembles the Buddha image known as "Pang Asking for Rain" or "Pang of the First Sermon" due to its similar posture and significance. However, this Buddha statue represents the Gandhara posture or the pose of asking for rain, as stated by Somdej Phra Sangharaja Ariyawongsakatayan (Pun Punnasiri). When the statue was installed at Nakhon Sawan Teachers College, it was endearingly called "Luang Pho Phra Sappanyu" or "Somdej Fa Chaeng" by the villagers. This is due to a vision experienced during the gold pouring ceremony, where the sky became clear and rain poured after the ceremony. Even the journey to the teacher's college was accompanied by rainfall. It is truly remarkable.
The word "omniscience"
refers to someone who knows all things. This is one of the names of the
Lord Buddha, signifying His knowledge of everything in the universe,
whether asleep or awake. The Omniscient Buddha statue is thus revered
and considered worthy of worship. As stated in the Mongala Sutta: "Puja ca puchaniyana etammangalamuttamam."
Worship those who are worthy of worship, as it is the most auspicious
symbol for Buddhists. It serves as a reminder of the Triple Gem – the
Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha – promoting peace, prosperity, and
everlasting welfare for oneself and society.
