I saw a lot of foreign nationals driving recklessly on motorcycles and cars. I was shocked to see them, and it made me feel uneasy. I was afraid of being hit by one of those foreign nationals, who may not even realize they were doing something wrong. Why do these reckless foreign nationals come to Bali? Why aren't the rental companies keeping an eye on them and ensuring they know how to drive properly on the roads? Instead of just taking their money, we should teach them how to drive properly through the police department. Let's all work together, including the rental companies, to test foreign nationals before renting them motorcycles or cars. Let's build and maintain Bali as a safe place for everyone. We can also boost Bali's economy and tourism industry so that rental companies don't have to close down due to reckless foreign nationals. Let's educate and teach foreign nationals how to drive properly to avoid any more news about reckless foreign nationals endangering Bali.ckless foreign nationals endangering Bali.)

In the thirteenth year, they had to disguise themselves unnoticed. If their disguise is uncovered, then they must repeat the period of exile in the forest for another twelve years.</br></br>The Mahabharata incident occurred around 5,000 years ago, in the last quarter of the Dwaparayuga era. At that time, human life could reach 1,000 years with a long young period. So, do not be surprised if the Pandavas exiled themselves for a dozen years and can still have strong children. Not surprisingly, Bhisma, the elder of Hastinapur's nobles, was still alive when Arjuna, his grandson, had a son named Abhimanyu.</br></br>In the forest, the Pandavas meet various magical things. One of the most important is the meeting of Maharaja Yudhisthira with a python who was Nahusa, his own ancestor. Nahusa was cursed to be a snake because of his arrogance. There was also the Yaksa Prasna incident, when Maharaja Yudhisthira was tested by Lord Yamaraja, the controller of death.by Lord Yamaraja, the controller of death.)

Yudhisthira became Kangka, a legal advisor. Bhima became a cook named Balawa. From this word 'balawa' comes the word 'belawa' in the Balinese language, those who are in charge of cooking during piodalan day in a temple or when there are other ceremonies. Arjuna became a transvestite (because of being cursed by Urwasi) for a year. Nakula and Sahadewa disguised as caretakers of cows and horse keepers.

• Arjuna Wiwaha  + ([EN] Kakawin Arjuna Wiwaha is a modificati … [EN] Kakawin Arjuna Wiwaha is a modification of the historical story in the Mahabharata, especially in Wana Parwa. This Kakawin tells about Arjuna's journey to search for magic weapons from Lord Shiva. In 1019-1042 A.D., the story of this ascetic Arjuna was translated and written in the form of ancient Javanese kakawin by Mpu Kanwa. The writing of this kakawin was done during the reign of King Airlangga.</br></br>At the beginning of this kakawin there is a story about Arjuna who did a hermitage on Mount Mahameru to get blessings from Lord Indra. Then, he was seduced by two angels. But Arjuna passed the test. As a blessing, he was given a magic weapon by Lord Indra.</br></br>There is also a story when Arjuna killed demon Niwatakawaca who controlled the demigods’ realm and disturbed the peace of the demigods.</br></br>This Kakawin, although in some parts does not correspond to its original history, is very popular among the Balinese. This kakawin is the most widely quoted and studied in schools. However, as a historical reference, this kakawin is not credible because many parts have been modified. There are many parts that do not fit the Mahabharata story according to the original as written by Maharsi Wyasa. Therefore, this kakawin is classified as a literary work, not a historical epoch.s a literary work, not a historical epoch.)
• 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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.</br></br>In Buddhism, the story of Sutasoma is very famous. This story is carved into the relief of Borobudur Temple, Central Java.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.)
• Tutur Parakriya  + ([EN] Lontar Tutur Parakriya describes a co … [EN] Lontar Tutur Parakriya describes a conversation between Bhatara Siwa and his son, Bhatara Kumara. The narration in this palm-leaf manuscript begins with Bhatari Uma's request that Bhatara Kumara ask Bhatara Siwa about the teachings that lead one to liberation. Bhatara Kumara then asked about the origin of the universe. Everything that exists comes from God in the spiritual realm (niskala). From the stagnant state then arises the basic material forms of the universe called the matras. From the matras, following successive nada, windu and ardhacandra which then causes a condition called wiswa. From wiswa comes letters which included swara (vowels) and wyanjana (consonants) which were the embodiments of the gods. With the embodiment of such gods, the priests are encouraged to worship them equipped with pure paraphernalia consisting of flowers, seeds, rice, incense, oil lamps and sandalwood water. The use of such equipment is in line with the understanding of the holiness of the form of God Almighty, which is stated in various media including Omkara. The manifestation of God in other relationships is in the relationship between the god and the cardinal directions.</br>This Tutur Parakriya lontar manuscript is mostly about phonetic characters and combinations of those characters that give birth to various forms in the universe.

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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.)
• 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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.

• 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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.

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”.</br></br>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.

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.</br> Traffic jams occur because too many people use motorized vehicles or cars and also because many road users do not comply with traffic regulations.</br> 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.</br> 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.

Among the various problems at hand, some prominent issues that need immediate attention from Bali's future leaders are:</br></br>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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.</br></br>Fourthly, transparency and accountability in governance. It's essential for leaders to build transparent and accountable governance.

We often encounter shadow puppet performances during religious events in Bali, namely during works or piodalan (rahinan in Bali). Hinduism is usually held at religious events that tell the stories of figures such as the Pandawa or Ramayana stories and the stories of other figures. Besides that, wayang kulit can also be used as an entertainment show that often tells about issues in society and tells something that is educational. Wayang kulit is one of the Balinese cultures that is thick with stories of educational figures, but nowadays they are fading because they are rarely performed as entertainment. We, as a generation in Bali, have to maintain the culture of staging shadow puppets to preserve one of our cultures, namely wayang kulit, so we need to protect it by introducing wayang kulit to the wider community by frequently performing it at every social event so that wayang kulit becomes a great entertainment. of interest to the general public.

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)

However, since Covid-19 has wreaked havoc on the world, tourists no longer travel to Bali. Likewise, Bali's tourism life is dead. This has a bad influence on the economic, social, and psychological aspects of the Balinese people. Balinese people who work in tourism currently do not have a livelihood, this causes problems in the economic field. Because everything that is needed must be purchased using money, it makes people sad, problems arise in the psyche. Under these circumstances, there are now many beggars and buskers at crossroads who wear Balinese traditional clothes, problems arise in the social sector. Because the death of Bali tourism has a bad effect, it is necessary to find a way out so that tourism can bounce back.</br></br>Since the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic, digital technology or in the network is growing. This digital technology can generate Bali tourism. How to? In my opinion, currently, the government can sell the existence of art, culture, and natural beauty to the world market through the website. The website can also be filled with virtual exhibitions using 360-degree technology, such as digital exhibitions that have often been carried out by people abroad. With one website, you can fill in several videos and virtual exhibitions from art museums throughout Bali. Through this website, tourists do not need to come to Bali, but only with digital experience, they can enjoy the natural beauty of Bali.</br></br>Now what can also be developed is the performing arts or performing arts which can be recorded and shared online or digitally. Balinese people who have not got jobs can be embraced to learn together performing arts such as Kecak and other colossal dances. It needs to be noted, those who want to watch every video on the website must buy a ticket in advance.</br></br>From some of the opinions I conveyed above, the development of digital technology can be a bridge to awaken Bali tourism while preserving Balinese art and culture. In addition, currently, each tourist spot must prepare health protocol equipment so that anyone who wants to travel to these tourist attractions still pays attention to health protocols to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. Hopefully, the pandemic can disappear soon, the world will return to normal, and Bali tourism can rise and stand strong.nd Bali tourism can rise and stand strong.)

There are sacred types of wood that can only be used to build holy places and may not be used for ordinary building materials.</br></br>The story in this lontar begins with a king named Pratipa who ruled in the land of Janantaka. The king had five ministers namely Matwa, Rangga, Tumenggung, Arya and Kadeyan. In addition, he had five other officials, namely Punggawa, Manca, Perbekel, Pecalang, Kelihan Banjar, and Kasinoman.

It is said that this plague was originated from Lord Shiva who displeased King Pratipa because the king had made an offense.</br></br>King Pratipa then sent Matwa to go to Lord Dharma in heaven to ask for healing. According to Lord Dharma, the entire kingdom had to be moved from Janantaka to Wanapringga. Dewa Dharma then gave them purification for their ailments. However, this purification meant that they would all be dissolved and be reborn into trees.</br></br>All types of trees originating from the king, Arya, Rangga, Demung, Tumenggung, pecalang, Perbekel, kliyan and kasinoman cannot be used for building holy buildings because they had previously been affected by leprosy (known as “cukil daki” or “ila” disease). The trees that are considered contaminated include the Bengkulitan, Taru Brokan (deformed tree due to being eaten by pests), Embud Hati tree, Soca Menengan Sunduk tree, and Soca Nyuwun Lambang tree.</br></br>This lontar can be referred to as a simple botanical taxonomic palm-leaf manuscript centered on local trees that grew in Bali in the past.
