• Indifference to Others  + (You must be familiar with the conflict bet … You must be familiar with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Recently, it has been in the spotlight again because the two countries are indeed in a high-level crisis stage. So, invasion could happen at any time. Based on the latest international news, the war between Russia and Ukraine is still going on today (Wednesday, May 18, 2022) and has entered the 84th day. According to the latest news, Ukrainian officials say that peace negotiations between the two countries have reached a stalemate. The Guardian reported that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had said he believed there could be no peace deal if negotiators tried to “transfer dialogue” as the West says instead of talking about the immediate situation in Ukraine. To date, many fighters have surrendered and they have been transferred to territory already under Russian control. According to the United Nations, to date, there have been six million refugees who have fled Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February. Ukrainian citizens who managed to take refuge in various places, one of which is Poland, have a sad story. They are willing to leave their children and wives and are willing to fight for their country. There are also residents who take their children out of Ukraine because they have to find a safer place even though half of their lives are still in the area where they live.</br></br>Apart from the problems between these two countries, as social beings we certainly hope for the best, namely peace. The refugees are foremost human beings who cannot live alone and definitely need the help of others. If people normally want a peaceful life, surely the refugees from Ukraine also want a peaceful life. The difference occurs if they evacuate to another place. We, who have a place to live, may not feel the way they do. In general, humans have hearts and a spirit of humanity. Imagine if we were in the position of the refugees. Of course we also want to be helped, right? Automatically when refugees come to our territory, it would be nice if we accept them openly. Greet them with what we have even if this is temporary. What we could provide, we should try to take the initiative to give to them. Teach them about caring, sincerity, patience and other things that support their current situation and current condition. It’s enough for simple things, such as the food they need, adequate medicine, and a basic place to live.</br></br>Any simple form of giving will certainly help Ukrainian refugees. This assistance must also be communicated with the Indonesian government, so that there will be equality and justice in shelter areas. It is necessary to include education for the refugees. This will be very beneficial for refugees and also those who receive them. Starting from the basics, such as starting to entertain them with the culture that we have. No need to go far. Just basic things. In addition, the Indonesian people also need more education about Ukrainian refugees, so the desire to help will be channeled properly. The assistance is quite simple for Ukrainian refugees, what is certain is food, a proper place to stay and good treatment for them so that in the long term, there will be a good impact on both parties.ere will be a good impact on both parties.)

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.)

• 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.

• 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.)
• Nitisastra  + ([EN] Kakawin Nitisastra is thought to have … [EN] Kakawin Nitisastra is thought to have been written by Dang Hyang Nirartha, although the real author was never known. However, Nitisastra is actually a written work originating from Canakya Nitisastra in Sanskrit, written by Canakya Pandit during the reign of King Asoka in Magada, India.</br></br>Kakawin Nitisastra contains proper manners to be human, characteristics of a pious and impious person, the obligations of a student, a person who is married, and an obligation for priests. There are also many metaphors and parables about good and bad behavior, foods that are appropriate to eat and those that are not, and how to serve the four teachers.</br></br>A copy of the palm-leaf manuscripts of Kakawin Nitisastra is still preserved in Gedong Kirtya, Singaraja. In 1978, this manuscript was copied into Latin script by Hindu Religion teachers from PGAH Singaraja. Then, there is also a newer copy in the Balinese script from the Bali Provincial Culture Office, completed with meanings in alus singgih Balinese.</br></br>What caused Kakawin Nitisastra to be said to have been written by Dang Hyang Nirartha was because this kakawin was found together with Kakawin Nirartha Prakreta.

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.)

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.

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

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

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.)

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.</br></br>Mahabharata was written by Maharsi Krishna Dwaipayana Vyasa, the greatest and most respected sage by all Hindus.</br></br>In Sabha Parwa, the saddest story is when Drupadi, the wife of the Pandavas, was dragged into the courtroom because her husbands lost bets.

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.

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".</br> 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.</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. Finally, the number of private transportation users will decrease by itself.</br> 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.</br> </br> OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OMk. OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OM)

Hopefully events like this can be held frequently to develop a threatening Bali.</br></br>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.</br></br>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. </br></br>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.</br></br>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.)

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)
