Bharatayuddha + ([EN] Kakawin Bharatayuddha tells about 18- … [EN] Kakawin Bharatayuddha tells about 18-day war on the battlefield of Kuruksetra. This Kakawin was composed by Mpu Panuluh during the Jayabhaya period of Panjalu (1135-1157 A.D.). In the manggala (opening) section of kakawin, there is a verse of honor for King Jayabhaya.The description in Kakawin Bharatayuddha is almost similar to the description of war in the Mahabharata written directly by Krishna Dvaipayana Vedavyasa 5,000 years ago. Presumably, this Kakawin is a kind of direct adaptation of the original Sanskrit text. The story in Kakawin Bharatayuddha begins with the arrival of Sri Krishna as an ambassador of peace for Pandavas. Sri Krishna did not want to eat at the Kaurava’s house, but He ate at Widura’s house.Then war broke out between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. In the Mahabharata, the description of war begins in the Bhisma Parwa section. This Kakawin Bharatayuddha is a shortened version of Bhisma Parwa, Drona Parwa, Karna Parwa, Salya Parwa to Swargarohana Parwa. It is said that the war in Kuruksetra took place in December. At the beginning of the war it was told that Arjuna felt sorry for having to fight with his own relatives. But Sri Krishna convinced him to fight because it was a battle between right and evil. This philosophical and religious dialog is known as Bhagavad-gita. Unfortunately, Kakawin Bharatayuddha does not contain this most important teaching and is more focused on warfare. This is understandable because Kakawin Bharatayuddha is a pujasastra (praise literary work) for King Jayabhaya. In fact, the essence of the teachings in Bharatayuddha is actually Bhagawad-gita.At the end of this story there is the story of revenge by Asvatthama (in the Sauptika Parwa section), but this kakawin does not tell about the destruction of the city of Dwaraka. Another interesting plot is the story of the revival of Pariksit who died in the womb. This story is also written in Hariwangsa and Bhagawata Purana.ritten in Hariwangsa and Bhagawata Purana.)
Sutasoma + ([EN] Kakawin Sutasoma was written by Mpu T … [EN] Kakawin Sutasoma was written by Mpu Tantular, and in this Kakawin there is the phrase "bhinneka tunggal ika" (unity in diversity) which became the official slogan of the Republic of Indonesia.Kakawin Sutasoma is a literary work that tells Sutasoma’s journey (which is another name for Gautama Buddha himself) in teaching righteousness. This Kakawin seems to have a common plot with Aryasura’s Sutasoma in Pali language.In Buddhism, the story of Sutasoma is very famous. This story is carved into the relief of Borobudur Temple, Central Java.It is said that Sutasoma was born to a Kuru aristocratic family in Hastinapur. Sutasoma eventually attained spiritual enlightenment. One interesting plot in this story is the event when Sutasoma awakened Kalmasapada, a descendant of the king who behaved like a lion, to finally follow the path of virtue.In his journey of spreading dharma, Sutasoma also met with Porisada, who likes to eat human flesh. Porisada finally realized and pursued the path of virtue.Kakawin Sutasoma underwent various modifications that were adapted to the conditions at the time of its preparation. Mpu Tantular emphasizes in this kakawin that Shivaistic cult (which worships Shiva as the highest, - one of the religious paths in Hinduism) is actually not different from Buddhism. It seems that, due to the influence of Indochina culture, Shiva Buddha cult emerged in the Archipelago. This philosophy is not found in India, the country of their origin.und in India, the country of their origin.)
Wrespati (Wrihaspati) Tattwa + ([EN] Lontar Wrihaspati tattwa is one of th … [EN] Lontar Wrihaspati tattwa is one of the lontar texts which becomes the source of belief of the Hindu community in Bali. Actually, this palm-leaf text is a Sanskrit text that is thought to originate from the tenth century. Possibly, this Sanskrit text is also a copy of more authentic Puranas. The Sanskrit text in Wrespati Tattwa consists of 74 verses and each verse is given a translation and commentary in ancient Javanese language. Such system has been common since the reign of King Dharmawangsa in Panjalu. Therefore, this palm-leaf text was probably translated into ancient Javanese around that era.Wrespati (Wrihaspati) was a great rsi who became a teacher of the gods. He is a brahmana who rules Planet Jupiter. Therefore, if Planet Jupiter approaches the moon, Hindus consider it a good day to start learning spiritual knowledge. In Wrespati Tattwa, there is a dialog between Rsi Wrihaspati and Lord Shiva, the ruler of Mount Kailasa. The content of the dialog includes the existence of cosmic consciousness or cetana, and cosmic darkness or acetana.Cetana and acetana cause various types of differences in the universe. Cetana and acetana also cause an increase and deterioration of the mind. Because of increased awareness, humans reach higher planets after death, which is known as swargaloka (heavens). Conversely, when human consciousness degenerates, they sink into terrible planets called naraka (hell). So, heaven and hell are on other planets, not on Earth.Many people mistakenly interpret the teachings of Wrespati Tattwa and conclude that heaven and hell only exist in the mind. This is a wrong conclusion. In fact, if the text of Wrespati Tattwa is interpreted more deeply, the mind is cause of humans’ going to heaven, hell or achieve liberation. The mind binds man in the chains of desires, and without intelligence and knowledge, man will be made degenerated by his own desires.Lontar Wrespati Tattwa also teaches about how to achieve liberation. According to this text, liberation can only be achieved if one is freed from illusions. Illusion means to think that he is a gross body and think that this material nature is his eternal abode. Such awareness can only be achieved by a process called yoga. Yoga does not mean merely gymnastic movements. Yoga means connecting the mind with spiritual awareness.necting the mind with spiritual awareness.)
Yadnya Prakerti + ([EN] Most of the procedures for making off … [EN] Most of the procedures for making offerings in Bali come from Yadnya Prakerti Scripture. This scripture is one of the most important ones for Saratis. A sarati is a person in charge of making banten (offerings) in various types of ceremonies. The leader of the Saratis is called Tapini or Tarpini, who is usually a woman. Tapini is also a title for a priest's wife who has knowledge and skills in making many types of offerings. In Balinese belief, the Tapinis are supervised by Bhatari Durga.Lontar Yadnya Prakerti contains many strict rules regarding procedures for making offerings. The most important thing is the ethics and cleanliness of people who make the offerings. According to this scripture, not any person are allowed to make offerings. Because banten is an offering to God and the demigods, the process of making it must be pure.The materials used to make offerings must be natural and disposable. Banten should not be made of plastic materials, because Hindu people are familiar with the concepts of purity (sukla) and defilement (cemer). Therefore, according to the essence of Lontar Yadnya Prakerti, offerings to God and the demigods must be clean, fresh and pure.There are some basic ethics for a Sarati according to Lontar Yadnya Prakerti. First, a sarati must be clean and pure in body, mind and words. Secondly, Sarati must not forget to give charity to a brahmin (priest). Not only that, a Sarati must ensure that the banten materials are obtained in the right ways. Last but not least, Sarati should not gossip when making offerings.i should not gossip when making offerings.)
Putru Saji Tarpana + ([EN] One of the most interesting ancient t … [EN] One of the most interesting ancient texts in Bali is probably Putru Saji Tarpana. If you have used GPS as a guide, then Putru Saji Tarpana is a collection of directions for the spirits of people who have died. The contents of this text is written in ancient Javanese language, mixed with ordinary Balinese, perhaps made and copied from the fifteenth century, and until now must be read during cremation ceremonies or at Atma Wedana (Ngarorasin) ceremony.The first and last part of the manuscript does not indicate in which year and during the reign of which king the script was made. From the beginning to the end, this text contains clues about the magical places the spirit of the deceased will pass before finally reaching Yamaloka. Yamaloka is the gate of the court of spirit, where every deed will be weighed according to the provisions of the Dharma law.According to this ejection, the spirit of the deceased will encounter many strange things during the journey to Yamaloka. The magical places are in the form of forests on clouds, highways, wells, darkness, strange creatures, to deep rivers and mud. The spirit will also cross a bridge. If his actions during his life are good, all those terrible things will be passed over easily. If his actions are evil for life, the spirit will be trapped in those strange places.In order for the spirit to pass through strange places easily, Putru Saji Tarpana gave directions to the road and supplies that the spirit had to carry. These road directions also contain provisions that must be given by the spirit to the astral creatures he encounters.But this does not mean that only with a large ceremony of death can the spirit be freed from all sins. The death ceremony can only help the spirit journey to reach Yamaloka's court, but it cannot erase his bad deeds during life. Food ingredients and water offered to the spirits of the dead aims to give them a new body in the new nature, but not to wash away their sins.w nature, but not to wash away their sins.)
Banawa Sekar + ([EN] One of the shortest kakawins is Banaw … [EN] One of the shortest kakawins is Banawa Sekar, which is commonly called Banawa Sekar Tanakung because it was written by Mpu Tanakung in 1351 AD. Banawa Sekar means "boat of flowers". This Kakawin was written by Mpu Tanakung (not his real name) when King Hayam Wuruk committed a great holy sacrifice (Sraddha) addressed to his late grandmother, Dyah Rajapatni Gayatri, at Majapahit palace square.There are only 12 stanzas in this kakawin, divided into three chapters. The first chapter describes the magnificence of the sraddha ceremony performed by Raja Hayam Wuruk. Many priests, royal families, nobles and all Majapahit officials were present to offer prayers and respect for the deity of Rajapatni Gayatri which was seated on a white throne.The second chapter describes various offerings from many descendants of the Majapahit aristocracy. There are offerings in the form of poetry, dances and so on. The last offering was a flower boat by King Hayam Wuruk. He offered a boat made from a variety of colorful flowers. There are gadung flowers, lotus, kayu mas, sanggalangit, jasmine, magnolia and so on. The boat was very beautiful.The final chapter expresses regret of the poet for not being able to explain the grandeur of the ceremony as the king expected. He hoped that the kakawin would be received by the king and make him happy before the kakawin was later copied in the form of palm-leaf manuscript.Zoetmulder (1983) transliterated this kakawin into Latin script and translated it into Dutch and Indonesian.d translated it into Dutch and Indonesian.)
Sabha Parwa + ([EN] Sabha Parwa is the second of the eigh … [EN] Sabha Parwa is the second of the eighteen Parwas (great chapters) of Mahabharata. Narration in Sabha Parwa begins with the invitation of the five Pandavas to Hastinapur to play dice. Hastinapur is located about 45 minutes from Delhi, so the distance is not too far. Keep in mind that all events in the Mahabharata are real. However, when the Mahabharata entered into various cultures in the world, this historical record was rewritten in the form of poetry, folktales and songs. In Indonesia itself, the Mahabharata was much changed its story to suit the interests at that time. This causes kakawin tobe unreliable as a source of history, but a literary work.Mahabharata was written by Maharsi Krishna Dwaipayana Vyasa, the greatest and most respected sage by all Hindus.In Sabha Parwa, the saddest story is when Drupadi, the wife of the Pandavas, was dragged into the courtroom because her husbands lost bets. When Drupadi was almost stripped naked by Dussasana, Sri Krishna, who was Lord Vishnu himself, protected her by giving a very long string of saris to cover her body.Sabha Parwa is historical evidence that God is always present for anyone who surrenders to Him and becomes His faithful devotees. to Him and becomes His faithful devotees.)
Babad Brahmana Catur + ([EN] Sometimes many people still consider … [EN] Sometimes many people still consider Babad Brahmana Catur text and Dwijendra Tattwa text are the same, but these lontar texts belong to two different categories. The Babad Brahmana Catur tells about the journey of Dang Hyang Nirartha, a Hindu priest from the late Majapahit era (1489 A.D.). He came to Bali and became an advisor to the Balinese kingdom in Waturenggong era. This chronicle mainly describes about the places that he had visited in Java, Bali, Lombok and Sumbawa, until finally he reached spiritual elevation on the crest of Uluwatu. Not only that, this chronicle also tells the miracles that he had made and various holy places built by him and by some of his descendants.The Babad Brahmana Catur text is an important genealogical source for descendants of the brahmana clan (soroh) in Bali. Copied several times by different authors, this manuscript still survives to the present time in the form of palm-leaf manuscripts and latin transliteration. Fortunately, Indonesian translation is available, too.Broadly speaking, this chronicle gives a glimpse about the situation when Majapahit collapsed—it had a major influence on the development of literacy in Java and Bali. As a Hindu religious leader, Dang Hyang Nirartha had a mission to defend the sacred teachings from extinction. In a unique way, he finally managed to maintain this religious system in Bali with its religious and cultural foundations that can be seen today.ltural foundations that can be seen today.)
Adi Parwa + ([EN] The battle between Pandava and the Ka … [EN] The battle between Pandava and the Kauravas took place some 5,000 years ago in India and was recorded by Rsi Wedawyasa as the Epic of the Mahabharata. There are 100,000 verses in this book which are divided into 18 Parwas (big chapters). Each Parwa has a section called Kanda.Adi Parwa is the first part of the Mahabharata which tells about the ancestral lineage of the Pandavas and Kauravas. It was stated that they were descendants of the Lunar Dynasty. In ancient times, humanity was ruled by the great kings of two dynasties, namely the Sun and the Moon. The two dynasties began from Lord Surya (the sun-god) and Lord Candra (the moon-god), so the quality of the kings of their descendants far exceeded those of ordinary humans.Adi Parwa mainly tells about the creation of the universe in four stages, the appearance of the divine incarnations (avataras) of God in the previous eras, the birth of Pandavas and Kauravas and the birth of Maharsi Krishna Dwaipayana Wyasa who is the incarnation of God and the most respected sage for the Hindus around the world. The most important part of Adi Parwa is the story of the appearance of Sri Krishna, God Almighty, into this mortal world to speak the Bhagavad-gita which is considered one of the most important Vedic scriptures for Hindus.At the time of Dharmawangsa reign in the Panjalu kingdom, Adi Parwa was translated into ancient Javanese together with other parwas by the Javanese poets at that time. Some names of places in Sanskrit are distorted during translations. Because of this massive literacy project in Dharmawangsa era, many names of places in the Mahabharata were used as names of places in Java until now.used as names of places in Java until now.)
Yama Purana Tattwa + ([EN] There are various events that cause p … [EN] There are various events that cause people to die. There are people who die naturally due to age, there are those who die from illness even though they are young. In many instances, some die because of accidents, natural disasters or being killed. The most unfortunate thing is that it was suicide.According to Yama Purana Tattwa, reasonable death is referred to as starch, whereas death due to accident, disaster or because of an animal is called wrong starch. Death due to murder or suicide is called starch. The ways in which humans deal with death have different effects on the consciousness of the spirit after death. The spirits of people who die naturally are different from those of those who die in accidents or commit suicide. Lontar Yama Purana Tattwa gives a category of these types of death and describes the state of a person's spirit if he dies in a certain way.Lontar Yama Purana Tattwa is a collection of dialogues between Lord Yama, the lord of death, and the great rsi in Janaloka. This ejection also mentions deaths due to landslides, which must be made a special ceremony so that the spirits that die do not turn into preta, or ghosts. This ejection also mentions the order of death ceremonies for people who died naturally and unnaturally.people who died naturally and unnaturally.)

Different but still one, that's what it means. Simple, but meaningful. As a diverse nation, the diversity of life in Indonesia is unparalleled. Starting from tribes, religions, races, and diversity of groups have been staples in the identity of the Indonesian nation since the time of the ancestors. However, the truth is that life’s wheel isn’t always good. There are times when diversity becomes a threat, like a double-edged sword. Knowing this, it is vital to instill a sense of tolerance for diversity in the children of a nation. True mutual respect, esteem, and love are the keys to a strong bond of brotherhood in diversity. Hinduism recognizes a concept titled kinship called “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”.From the Sanskrit, “vasudha” means earth, “iva” means as, and “kutumbakam” means family, so Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam has the meaning that all peoples of the world are one family and brothers without distinction of the tribe, religion, or race, language, or culture. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam suggests five things in its successful implementation: truth, virtue, charity, peace, and ahimsa. If carefully observed, all of these cues have naturally grown in each and every person. Then, what young people need to do now? Along with maintaining the existence of the key enforcer of the current sense of kinship.

Let us give thanks to the presence of Almighty God who has given Asung Kertawara to all of us so that we can gather in this place. Before I deliver this speech, I first want to thank you for the time and opportunity given to me to deliver my speech of hope. to the Bali government entitled "JUST CONNECTION OCCURRING IN BALI". Traffic jams arise because the volume of motorized vehicles is not proportional to the volume of the road. The number of motorized vehicles and cars increases every day. As a result, cars, public transportation and motorbikes pile up on the streets, traffic jams occur. Congestion can also slow down the performance of people who are stuck in traffic jams. Workers will be late arriving at work and students will arrive late at school. This especially happens to people who choose to use private transportation rather than public transportation. Traffic jams occur because too many people use motorized vehicles or cars and also because many road users do not comply with traffic regulations. On this occasion I would like to invite you to overcome traffic jams in Bali. If we cannot overcome them, at least we can reduce traffic jams in Bali. There are 2 main things we can do to reduce congestion. First, use public transportation, don't use private vehicles, using public transportation can reduce the volume of vehicles on the road. In the end, traffic jams will be reduced. Second, get used to walking if the distance is not too far. This method is simple but difficult to do. Even though walking is healthy, and by walking we are contributing to reducing traffic jams in Bali. I am sure that by taking these 2 actions traffic jams in Bali can be reduced. However, the Bali Government is expected to improve the comfort and safety of public transportation. I am sure that if public transportation is safe and comfortable, there will be more passengers. Finally, the number of private transportation users will decrease by itself. This is all I can say, hopefully it is useful for all of us. Sorry if there are wrong words and actions. For your attention I would like to thank. OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OMk. OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OM)

Bali, our beloved homeland, faces a number of issues that require urgent attention from our future leaders.As we prepare to choose new leaders, it's crucial to consider pressing issues that demand immediate solutions. Among the various problems at hand, some prominent issues that need immediate attention from Bali's future leaders are:Firstly, the environment and sustainability. Bali, with its natural beauty, is under significant pressure due to rapid growth. Conservation of the environment and protection of natural resources are crucial to prevent further damage to the island. Future leaders must have a clear vision to preserve Bali's natural beauty while also managing sustainable growth.Secondly, adequate infrastructure. Despite Bali's status as a popular tourist destination, there's a need for better infrastructure to support economic growth and everyday activities of the people. Effective leaders should prioritize the development of suitable infrastructure without compromising environmental preservation.Thirdly, social welfare. There exist disparities in Bali that need to be addressed. Improving access to education, focusing on public health, and increasing job opportunities with fair wages should be the primary focus of future leaders. Even social welfare will form a strong foundation for Bali's progress.Fourthly, transparency and accountability in governance. It's essential for leaders to build transparent and accountable governance. The community should have complete trust in their leaders and feel heard in the decision-making process.Fellow citizens, this election isn't just about selecting leaders but about choosing leaders with a clear vision, strong commitment, and the ability to address pressing issues. Let's choose leaders who can lead Bali towards a better future, one that is fair and sustainable for us all.Thank you."r and sustainable for us all. Thank you.")

Bali, which usually doesn't stop bringing in rupiah coffers to support its people's economy, is now deserted.A few months after the COVID-19 pandemic began to subside, there was a lot of buzz in the social media about the hashtag #WorkFromBali. Bali, as the most popular tourist attraction in Indonesia, is slowly starting to rise from the slump of the COVID-19 pandemic.Most Indonesian people consider Bali as an elite tourist destination, because the majority of visitors are foreign tourists. Not infrequently Indonesian people also think that the price of admission to tourism and the price of food at the place to eat is also high (by the standards of foreign tourists).Seeing the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic which is still uncertain, it is better for the Bali government to start moving to carry out "Rebranding Bali" for domestic tourists. Because they are considered the safest and most sustainable, to keep the economy in Bali alive and spinning.There are several ways that the Balinese government can do to invite local and domestic tourists to visit Bali:1. Ensure that Bali is a safe place during the Covid-19 pandemic, by showing that all frontline Bali tourism has been vaccinated and maintaining proper health protocols;2. Invite influencers to advertise Bali. The hashtag #WorkFromBali seems to be very good and powerful to be echoed again;3. Recalculate the highest price specifically for local and domestic tourists, such as the price of tourist entrance tickets, lodging prices, food prices, and so on, by adjusting the socio-economic conditions of the Indonesian people.4. Provide understanding and training for the frontline Bali tourism, to treat local and domestic tourists in the same way as treating foreign tourists.Hopefully Bali's economy will get better.

Before that, let us pray to the presence of Almighty God. Thanks to Him, we can gather here with happiness at the Bali Public Participation Wikithon with orations, which carries the theme, Election 2024: what are the most urgent problems to be addressed by Bali's prospective leaders ? Hopefully events like this can be held frequently to develop a threatening Bali.Happy guests, as we know, Bali is known as the island of a thousand temples with its very beautiful environment, which is often visited by foreign tourists, because Bali is one of the focuses of tourism in Indonesia. This is what drives many foreign tourists to come to Bali. Even though Bali is a tourist destination, this is not the main topic of discussion, but there are problems that have a significant impact on Bali. As we know, this so-called era of destruction, if we talk about the problems in Bali, will cause Bali to collapse. Unfortunately, the problems in Bali have not received treatment that is useful for the island of Bali.Happy guests, if you look at life now it is certainly different from previous life, especially with the problems, the most important problem is related to the environment and land of the island of Bali which has been built up and used as a tourist attraction, this is what will make the island of Bali In terms of land and environment, it will become increasingly narrow, if all the land and environment in Bali is made into a tourist attraction, where will we (humans), animals and others live and live our daily lives? Talking about the land environment that has been converted into a tourist spot, of course there are many daily activities carried out to produce plastic waste for society, this is what will become Bali's next problem. The existence of rubbish in Bali is very sad and gets very little attention, this is what creates big dangers, for example: floods, dengue fever and others. Moreover, as has recently been reported, the rubbish bins or Suwung landfills in Bali are very full and cause fires, giving rise to smoke pollution which causes disease. Are we all willing to live and do activities in dirty places? Of course, many of you are reluctant to live in a dirty place. Happy attendees, if I conclude it is related to the problems in Bali, so that Balinese leaders can provide solutions related to problems: the transfer of land or the environment to become tourist attractions and the rampant waste which has not received special attention from the government. Based on these problems, if we don't work together from now on as the front guard, it is certain that the island of Bali will gradually collapse. The island of Bali, which has been nicknamed a thousand temples, will lose its sanctity. Based on these problems, my hope is that the elected leader of Bali 2024 will be able to find a solution so that the Balinese people can implement the noble values that exist in Bali, namely TRI HITA KARANA, because these problems are related. with the TRI HITA KARANA value, so that Bali can return to the way it was before.Happy guests, that is the speech I can deliver, I hope you all are aware of the current condition of Bali.re aware of the current condition of Bali.)

Not just ourselves, all of us, both students, teenagers and parents, everyone living on earth, including Bali, which is famous for its natural beauty, should care about the existence of plastic waste. This is a behavior that includes teenagers as the main actors.Remember, the job of teenagers is not only to decorate and take selfies in beautiful places, but no one pays attention to the rubbish in front of them, which causes disasters such as landslides, floods, pollution and others.So that we are not exposed to danger, we should throw rubbish in the trash, we should not throw rubbish in the surrounding environment such as rivers, roads, sewers, etc. Come on, let's not throw rubbish carelessly so that the surrounding environment remains beautiful and sustainable!

Bali will be welcoming its 2000th saka year, and around this year, Bali will be celebrating its biggest ceremony ever. Apart from Eka Dasa Rudra, Bali will welcome the Maligia Marebu Bumi ceremony which is held once every 1000 years, every last three digits of the Saka year reach 0. However, judging from the current condition of Balinese culture, it is now increasingly dim. Will the Maligia Marebu Bumi ceremony still hold Balinese culture? Because many young people have left Balinese culture, forgetting the Balinese language. Then how. I hope the government can listen to my advice. My suggestion is that the government must infuse Balinese culture to young people, by developing the entertainment industry. Countries like Japan and Korea can maintain their culture because young people watch their own culture. Most young people in Indonesia, especially in Bali watch foreign films and play foreign entertainment with a foreign culture, so that young Balinese have an interest in foreign cultures, and end up having the dream of wanting to live in a foreign country. If the government wants to develop the entertainment industry, then young people will be aware of the culture they have, so they will aspire to develop their own country. In addition to solving internal problems, the entertainment industry is very profitable. With this, Balinese culture will be increasingly recognized by the world and its influence can match Japanese and Korean culture. Then can this be realized? The Entertainment Industry can be anything, such as Movies, Animation, Games, Songs, Etc. Many Balinese HR talents are suitable for this, such as painters who will create 2D graphic designs, City People who are talented with Coding, and Undagi or Sculptors who will create 3D designs. because at this time, it is time for us to modernize our culture so that it can be accepted by our younger generation, even the world by our younger generation, even the world)
