  • Indifference to Others  + (You must be familiar with the conflict betYou 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.)
  • Wana Parwa  + ([EN] After losing the dice game, the Panda[EN] After losing the dice game, the Pandavas lived for twelve years in the jungle.

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.

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.

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. The contents of the two kakawin do not differ much. Many writers suspect that this kakawin was written when Dang Hyang Nirartha lived in Gelgel. when Dang Hyang Nirartha lived in Gelgel.)
  • 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.

  • 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.)
  • 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.

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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.</br></br>Zoetmulder (1983) transliterated this kakawin into Latin script and translated it into Dutch and Indonesian.d translated it into Dutch and Indonesian.)

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

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. 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.)

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.

It has also been said that the White Wood will shed all its leaves every few months. Though Banyan Trees may shed leaves to retain moisture, it is unusual for a tree to shed leaves this regularly in a moist climate.

  • Aji Janantaka  + (Aji Janantaka is a mythical lontar which tAji Janantaka is a mythical lontar which tells the origin of wood in Bali. This lontar tells about woods that have a hierarchy like a royal system among humans. Based on the story in Aji Janantaka, Balinese people determine the types of wood that can be used to build shrines, house buildings, or make utensils and masks. 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. They were all attacked by a plague of leprosy which could not be cured by any means. 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. There are also Brahmin tree class and Taru Sari tree class. Both types of trees can be used as sacred building materials. There are also jempini, bayur and bentawa trees belonging to the taru sakama-kama class, which can be used for any purpose.</br></br>Apart from the types of trees, Lontar Aji Janantaka also describes types of fragrant flowers that can be used for ceremonies. These fragrant flowering trees are classified as sekar madewi, namely cananga, frangipani, canigara, tigaron, sebita, kembang kuning, kemoning, tigakancu, tampak bela, katrangan, nagasari, jasmine, jempiring, pudak sari, pudak cinaga, pudak kalasa, sekar gambir, chrysanthemum, magnolia, ratna, and gadung kasturi.emum, magnolia, ratna, and gadung kasturi.)
  • Aji Pari  + (Aji Pari means ‘the spell of rice'. This lAji Pari means ‘the spell of rice'. This lontar is written in ancient Javanese and is one of the lontars which contains teachings about traditional agriculture. Aji Pari is in the same category as agricultural lontars such as Usada Taru Pramana, Aji Janantaka, Usada Carik, and so on.</br></br>Aji Pari in general contains mantras about the greatness of rice from the time it is planted to post-harvest. This lontar is closely related to the Subak organization, which is thought to have existed since the ninth century. Within the Subak organization, there are many special ceremonies for rice starting from before planting to after harvest. In other words, rice is treated like a human undergoing developmental phases.</br></br>Lontar Aji pari likens rice to a sacred tree which is a form of the goddess Sri (the goddess of prosperity) as a tree. Therefore, in each phase of rice development, it is given different names. Lontar Aji Pari revealed that traditional Balinese and Javanese people highly respect rice plants as the main source of food in an agrarian society.</br></br>Based on what is contained in Aji Pari's lontar, it can be assumed that the rice seeds in Bali came from Java, to be precise during the Airlangga era or before. Perhaps at that time there were native Balinese rice species, but in allegory this lontar states that Bhatara Sri came from Kamulan (East Java). This indicates that there was a better breeding of rice species in East Java at that time, which was later developed in Bali as well.which was later developed in Bali as well.)

  • the application of Tat Twam Asi in everyday life  + (As Hindus, we have a strong bond with one As Hindus, we have a strong bond with one another. We are all part of Hyang Widhi who resides in the soul which is called atman. Therefore, it is not appropriate for us to be silent, peaceful, while our brothers are calming down, in trouble, and miserable. As social beings, of course we cannot live alone, we always need help from others. Likewise other people, need help from us. This is in line with one of the basic concepts in Hinduism, namely Tat Twam Asi. This teaching can be implemented in everyday life in the form of caring. Humans in their lives have various kinds of necessities of life that are driven by the desires (kama) of the human being concerned. It is at this time that humans need to recognize and carry out a sense of togetherness or known as gotong royong and mutual help, so that no matter how hard the problems they face, they will feel light. Tat Twam Asi means that 'it is you, you are him'. The word 'that' means Brahman or the Source of all life. While the word 'you' is the Atman or soul that supports all beings. Thus we can interpret that the soul that resides in every human being comes from the same source, namely Brahman or God Himself. The teachings of Tat Twan Asi are the basis of the Hindu Ethics in the effort to achieve moral improvement. Susila is good and noble behavior to foster harmonious and balanced relationships and harmony among people. Cultivating an attitude of tolerance among people can create a harmonious and peaceful life, tolerance, and not hurting the feelings of others. The noble value of Tat Twam Asi in the Javanese philosophy of life is manifested through the attitude of Tepa Slira, which means that we must be able to feel what other people are feeling. Of course we should not hurt other people, if we also do not want to feel the same pain. Tepa slira has the same goal as the values of Tat Twam Asi, namely the creation of harmony and harmony in life. Differences in ethnicity, religion, race, or class, are not a barrier to living together in a peaceful atmosphere, respecting each other, and understanding each other for all the differences that exist. The most important thing is how we can be self-aware, able to control ourselves not to force all wills on others, respect and appreciate the differences between us.and appreciate the differences between us.)
  • Strategi Membangkitkan Perekonomian Di Bali  + (As for the aspirations that I want to pourAs for the aspirations that I want to pour out to revive the economy in Bali, the points are as follows:</br></br>There is control of the epidemic itself. The main thing that must be done is to reduce cases of transmission of the Covid-19 virus in Bali through the acceleration of the Covid-19 vaccination program. We can make this the main fortress in the face of the COVID-19 outbreak in Bali. </br></br>Then the next step is to tighten the procedures (3M) on the island of the gods by involving all elements of society and foreign tourists who will vacation in Bali to participate together in complying with the program. This is done to restore the world's trust in the island of Bali through the discipline of health care, and the addition of health facilities so that they are adequate and suitable for use, such as the construction of self-quarantine rooms, providing Thermal Detectors or rapid tests and ensuring the safety and comfort of tourism, because good Health Tourism actually can increase the interest of tourists to vacation in Bali. Not only in terms of progress: the island of Bali must also optimize all existing fields to participate in supporting the economy, so that this strategy does not only come from the tourism sector but through optimizing all existing sectors, such as the Agriculture Plantation Sector, the Village-Based Digital Empowerment Sector. Customs, Endek and Songket SME Centers, Creative Economy SMEs and others. Through the cooperation of all economic actors, we can slowly revive the economy in Bali. </br></br>The next step is through the development of the Essential Business Travel Corridor (TCA), the collaboration carried out with several countries for the purposes of Essential Business, Diplomatic and Service which has been initiated by the government. </br></br>Of all the points above, one point that is no less important is to build a positive image to foreign countries towards tourism in Bali, so that tourists are more interested in vacationing in Bali. This can be done by improving the hospitality sector (through HR training), improve facilities, make tourist attractions more attractive, cheaper rates and others to improve the tourism sector in Bali to make it more attractive to tourists. As we know, the island of Bali is a tourist island that has a variety of interesting tourist attractions, along with culinary and and cultural traditions adding positive points to the tourism sector in Bali.tive points to the tourism sector in Bali.)
  • Preservation Of The Balinese Language Amidst The Challenges Of Civil Issues In Society  + (As the era of globalization now, the BalinAs the era of globalization now, the Balinese language is one of the most important languages for the people on the island of the gods of Bali. In the existing civil issues, the use of regional languages in social and formal circles at school is increasingly being replaced by the national language or English. Although schools also receive Balinese language lessons, this is inseparable from various challenges. So it takes hard efforts from all parties in revitalizing the role of the Balinese language as an important regional language.</br></br>In my opinion in this case, the BASAbali Wiki is an important platform that we can access and use as a medium for the Balinese language amidst the onslaught of civil issues in society. In this BASAbali Wiki platform, one of which we can find a complete dictionary of Balinese – Indonesian, besides that it is also equipped with Balinese characters in every vocabulary in the dictionary.

Monday is a day ruled by watery element and coolness, so it is hoped that when someone cuts their hair on Monday, their life will be as safe and prosperous as water. Wednesday is a day associated with Lord Wisnu and Goddess Sri, because on Buda Cemeng (a special Wednesday where Balinese five-day week and seven-day week cycles meet), Hindus in Java and Bali worship Goddess Sri for prosperity.</br></br>Cutting hair is a sacred activity for the Hindus, especially for virgin women. Virgin hair is often used to decorate barong and rangda, because virginity symbolizes purity and is highly valued in Hinduism. Therefore, cutting one’s hair can mean something like cutting one’s crown and honor. If this is done on inauspicious days, then the growth of the hair (honor, reputation, prosperity, health) will be disrupted. Because of that, the day chosen should have nourishing element (water element), namely Monday and Wednesday.</br></br>Full moon’s day and new moon’s day are also good days for cutting hair because they are closely related to the water cycle in the world. Due to the moon’s gravity, tides happen on Earth. Because water is the main element in life, the full moon and tilem are also related to life and nature’s coolness. It is hoped that the hair cut on the right day will grow well along with the growth of one’s welfare, health and fortune.owth of one’s welfare, health and fortune.)

The name Indu probably means water or an association of people living on the bank of the lake. Gobed itself in modern Balinese means "to grate". It is possible that Indu Gobed Village has now become Gobleg Village and three other villages known as Catur Desa Tamblingan, namely Gobleg, Munduk, Gesing and Umajero.</br></br>One interesting thing in Babad Indu Gobed is about the legend of Tamblingan Lake which was used to cure various types of diseases. Tamblingan comes from the words 'tamba' (medicine) and 'elingang' (remember). This means that Tamblingan Lake water was once used as medicine. This babad also briefly mentions Lesung volcano which erupted around the ninth or tenth century, then became inactive until today. Some historians assume that at that time the people of Indu Gobed Village fled to higher areas because of the volcanic eruption down the caldera.</br></br>Then, in the Gobleg inscription (see entry "Prasasti Gobleg") it is stated that in the tenth century there was a village on the shores of Lake Tamblingan called Desa Tamblingan. This village lasted until the fourteenth century. It is possible that Tamblingan Village is an evolution of Indu Gobed Village in the previous period.
