Ida Pedanda Gede Made Gunung (1952 – 18 May 2016) was a Hindu Pedanda (cleric/priest) from Blahbatuh, Gianyar, Bali. He was a legend who had a progressive view far into the future. This Pedanda, who was born in Gria Gede Kemenuh Purnawati, seems to have changed the image of Pedanda (Hindu Priest) from simply leading ceremonies, to becoming a Dharma Discourse preacher.
He is very skilled in translating complex Hindu religious philosophy to the general public using simple, clear and straightforward language accompanied by a great sense of humor. It is not surprising that he often appears in various media, both electronic and print media, to provide Dharma Wacana (sacred discourse) to Hindus. Not only in Bali, he also gave dharma discourses outside Bali, from Java to Kalimantan. Apart from actively appearing in various print and electronic media, he is also active in writing in cyberspace via his website.

He was medicalized or became a pedanda in 1994. From 2002 until near the end of his life, he was an extraordinary lecturer at the Faculty of Usada, Indonesian Hindu University. He is also known to be very critical in addressing the problems of carrying out Hindu ritual ceremonies in Bali, especially Human Yadnya and Pitra Yadnya, which have often been held with great pomp and cost a lot of money.
Ida Pedanda Gede Oka was born in Banjar Kualon, Denpasar, 1909. Apart from devoting his life as a priest, he was known as an undagi (traditional Balinese architect). This talent was inherited from his father, Ida Bagus Anom, a famous undagi and sculptor of his time. Since the age of eight he has learned to make sculptures from his father. As an undagi, he really understands the books Asta Kosala-Kosali, Asta Bumi, Wismakarma and the like. He is not only an expert in making traditional Balinese buildings and Hindu sacred buildings, but is also an expert in making vessels, jempana and bulls for the Ngaben ritual. +

He is also an expert in carving rock for the construction of Hindu religious shrines in Bali. Apart from being a sculptor, he is known in the dance drama "Calon Arang" as Patih Pandung who fights against the evil of Nateng Dirah. He once joined the Pitamaha art community. +
Ida Wayan Eka Werdi Putra or who is often called Gus Eka is the initiator of SAGARAGIRI Outdoor. SAGARAGIRI comes from the word Sagara/Segara which means sea and Giri which means mountain. Sagara-Giri is a concept of Balinese local wisdom that describes the sacredness of the dimension of space. Sagara (mountain)-Giri (sea), Pasir-Wukir, and upstream-teben (downstream) are other terms that are also symbols of unity and mutual influence.
Some traditional Balinese literature mentions that the Kawi Wiku or poet priests wrote their literary works in beautiful places. The priest, poet or author walks along the mountains and coasts to express his visual beauty in the form of literary works as a form of glorification of the Creator.
This is what became the inspiration for the establishment of SAGARAGIRI Outdoor. Glorifying nature is one of the ways that Balinese predecessors used to enjoy life, even as a spiritual practice. In this increasingly frenetic era, we want to adapt the concept and practice to invite SaGi's friends back to nature, protect it, and enjoy it from a different perspective. +

Since leaving her ancestral home in Florence, Italy, Idanna pursued her interest in diverse cultures through far-flung travels. First she worked in New York for her uncle, Emilio Pucci, when his designs ushered vibrant colors into fashion.
She later settled in Indonesia and began her studies of Balinese culture with particular emphasis on myth and the oral tradition. She became especially intrigued by the traditional court of justice in the ancient royal capital of Bali. Its ceiling paintings narrate a sacred epic hauntingly similar to Dante’s Divine Comedy. The quest gave birth to her first book, The Epic of Life: A Balinese Journey of the Soul (Van der Mark Editions, NY), a classic on Balinese culture.
Various writing assignments for the Hong-Kong based Asia Magazine enabled her to travel throughout the Indonesian Archipelago, South East Asia, Japan and across the Soviet Union on the last steam engine of the Trans-Siberian railway.
She returned to New York to pursue her degree in Comparative Literature at Columbia University. During this time, she obtained a grant from the Margaret Mead Institute of Intercultural Studies for a project entitled The Prince and the Pauper: Two Balinese Portraits.
Her focus then turned to the life of her American great-grandmother, Cora Slocomb, who shocked New York’s Gilded Age by launching the first nation-wide campaign against the death penalty in 1895 to save a young Italian immigrant from execution–the first woman sentenced to the electric chair. Her research gave birth to The Trials of Maria Barbella (Vintage, NY, 1996).
After she obtained the International Diploma in Humanitarian Assistance in Geneva, she served in the UN Mission to East Timor as an electoral officer during the referendum for independence in 1999. Later, she collaborated with the Burma Project (Open Society Foundations) on a special mission to Myanmar.
In film, Idanna produced the Italian segment of the TV series Amazing Games (ABC/Kane Productions) for which she received the Ultimo Novecento award from the City of Pisa. She also co-produced Leonardo’s Legacy, a Discovery Channel special. She then produced and directed Eugenia of Patagonia, a documentary-feature on the pioneering life in Chile of her maternal aunt who served for thirty years as mayor of a vast municipality at the end of world, battling for the people and the environment
Her following work, Brazza in Congo: A Life and Legacy (Umbrage Editions, NY) is an illustrated biography of another ancestor, the explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, after whom the capital of the Republic of Congo, Brazzaville, is named, and who is still remembered for his pioneering struggle on behalf of the rights of the people. On the same theme, she curated exhibitions at The National Arts Club in New York and La Casa Italiana of NYU.
Idanna conceived and narrated the documentary Black Africa White Marble, which recounts her battle against the ruler of Congo-Brazzaville. It won the Grand Prix at the Festival of Annecy 2012 (France), the Audience Award at the Cambridge Film Festival 2013 (UK), and Best Documentary at the Berlin Independent Film Festival 2014.
She was also responsible for the donation to the National Museum of Cameroon in Yaoundé and permanent installation of a sixty-foot masterpiece of contemporary art by the Poto Poto School of Painting in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo. In 2015, she produced The Transformative Power of Art, an exhibition at the United Nations in New York.
With her husband, Terence Ward, she then produced Talk Radio Tehran, a documentary by Mahtab Mansour that follows high-spirited Iranian women as they fulfill their aspirations in spite of the gender-apartheid system that dominates daily life in Teheran.
In a collection of true stories between East and West, The World Odyssey of a Balinese Prince (Tuttle, 2020), she narrates the extraordinary life of a cultural visionary and medical doctor whose daring adventures transcend borders.
The Lady of Sing Sing: an American Countess, an Italian Immigrant, and their Epic Battle for Justice in New York’s Gilded Age (Simon & Schuster, Tiller Press, 2020) is a new expanded edition of her earlier work, The Trials of Maria Barbella.
Idanna serves as an ambassador of Religions for Peace, the world’s largest interfaith organization. She speaks fluent Italian, English and French, and reasonable Bahasa Indonesia. She resides with her husband between Florence and New York.

"Om Swastyastu, Thank you for the time given to me. My name is Ni Luh Ari Purnama Yanti from SMA Negeri 1 Tabanan. To the judges who I really respect and the audience who I really love. I feel very happy to be able to deliver the oration entitled "Road infrastructure"
Ladies and gentlemen, as we know, road infrastructure greatly influences the economy today. If there is no road infrastructure or the roads are in disrepair, what else is there to earn a living nowadays? How do I take merchandise abroad? In this millennial era and era of globalization, road infrastructure is very necessary in today's life. Many people today earn a living on the streets, some become Ojols, some become traders and others; Candidates for leadership in 2024 should be able to see the condition of their people in villages and cities, so that they do not create social inequality. So that the roads in villages and cities are the same, so that the materials are good and can last a long time and people can earn a living on smooth roads. And for the 2024 Leader Candidates to be honest about the road and development assistance, so that it doesn't happen that the funds are disbursed but the roads and construction are not completed, let alone non-existent? Don't prospective leaders feel sorry when they see their people earning a living through damaged roads? On a rocking bridge to pass east to west over rivers and seas? there are also those who cannot leave the village because the roads are damaged but in the city the roads are good. However, there are also damaged roads in the city, which makes it difficult for large trucks to pass and causes traffic jams. The 2024 Leader Candidates should now be fair and honest with all their people. 2024 Leader Candidates so that they can pay more attention to their people, so that during the campaign they don't just make sweet promises to their people so that they are not called Sweet Promises of Leader Candidates.
OK, that's all my speech, I hope what I say can be heard by the 2024 Leader Candidates. Thank you for your attention, everyone present. "Meli bungkung aba to the temple Sambilang ngayah, Kirang Langkung nunas ampura titiang sisya wawu melajah". I end with the paramashanti "Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om".
MISSING THE FIRST BALI
The prolonged Covid-19 pandemic has forced the Government to limit visits from local or foreign tourists, this has caused Bali to be still empty of visits, this situation is due to various reasons, ranging from the increasing number of positive cases of Covid-19 in Indonesia to permits that have been issued. considered burdensome for visitors.
Talking about Bali tourism means that we focus on the cultural and natural sectors which are the main selling points. Looking at the current problems and situation, it is hoped that the government will take advantage of the condition of Bali which is still empty of tourists by focusing on preserving nature and strengthening its cultural values. How, namely by taking big steps in limiting the construction of instructors that are unnecessary and have no impact in attracting foreign tourists. We all know Bali is even better known in the international world than our own country, we are known for the unique culture and beautiful nature it has to offer.
I was looking for some information around, both from tour guides or from tourists who have settled in Bali, I gave some questions about what foreign tourists usually like and make them comfortable in Bali, their answers are almost the same in essence, namely culture and nature offered, not in terms of technology or the splendor of the modern buildings that are here. some interesting things that I found in the answers given by the speakers who I asked questions, namely they missed the old Bali atmosphere, they missed the traditional Balinese culture and nature when they came to Bali for the first time.
My biggest hope as a millennial generation who has never experienced what “Bali of the past” is, who only knows from parents' stories, pictures from Google and videos from Youtube, hopefully the Government can prioritize and create programs that are able to shape the longed for Traditional Bali, because what tourists are looking for is not Bali with advanced technology or magnificent infrastructure, but a beautiful Bali with a friendly environment.

Tourists are foreigners who travel, who come to enter another country that is not the country where the person lives with the aim of finding popular and famous places including beaches, mountains, hills, restaurants, cafes and various other attractions.
But unfortunately tourists who come to Bali are now increasingly making Balinese people uneasy because of tourists who use the road recklessly, enter the sacred area with dirty conditions (menstruation), occupy the holy place, naked in the middle of the art performance, there are even tourists who take indecent photos in the sacred area.
Strict action is needed for foreigners who come to Bali, it is hoped that the government will appoint subordinates to be more strict in guarding the sacred areas visited by foreign tourists, give assignments to the police to maintain traffic security if they see irresponsible foreigners must be followed up directly and provide sanctions / punishments.
Not only officials who can take firm action, in the future it is also authorized for Balinese citizens who see the behavior of irresponsible tourists. +
Jalan Rusak di Kabupaten Buleleng Penghubung Desa Bukti dan Desa Tanjung Perlu Perhatian Pemerintah Bali +
Damaged Roads in Buleleng Regency Connecting Evidence Village and Tanjung Village Need Attention from the Bali Government.
Om Swastyastu,
We respect Mr. Teacher and brothers and sisters who we love very much.
First of all, we would like to express our gratitude to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, because it is thanks to Him that we can express opinions regarding issues that must be paid attention to by the Bali government.
Where you can see that there are lots of damaged roads in Bali, such as Jalan Merak, Buleleng Regency, which is precisely the link between Evidence Village and Tanjung Village.
From the information we got, this road has been damaged for quite a long time, even for years, according to residents there. Local residents said that this street had already been patched using cement with the residents' limited funds, but it was damaged again, and local residents even said that this street had gone viral before, until it was planted with banana trees.
The roads are so damaged that residents feel like they are riding horses. Due to the damaged roads, residents often fall and fall, especially when it rains, the roads are slippery.
Evidence Village Head, Gede Wardana, said the road had been damaged for a long time. The village cannot repair the road because it is not within their authority.
The solution to this problem is that the government promises that the roads will be repaired by 2024.
That's all we can say. More or less sorry. We close with paramasanthi.
Om Santhi, Santhi, Santhi Om. +

James Danandjaja obtained a bachelor's degree in Anthropology in 1963 from the Faculty of Letters, University of Indonesia. He also obtained a doctorate in Psychological Anthropology from the University of Indonesia in 1977. For the writing of his scientific work he conducted research for approximately a year in the Trunyan area of Bali, and produced the book Culture of the Trunyan Village Farmers in Bali, which was published in 1980. James Danandjaja who whose real name is James Tan, with the nickname Jimmy, was appointed Professor of the University of Indonesia in 1983.
He was the first Indonesian folklorist, starting to pursue the science since he studied at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1969. His mentor at that time was Alan Dundes, a prominent folklorist from the United States. With a paper entitled An Annotated Bibliography of Javanese Folklore, which was later made into a book, he obtained a master's degree in folklore from the university in 1971.
Upon his return to Indonesia, in 1972, he taught the science at the Department of Anthropology, FISIP, University of Indonesia. According to him, folklore which is part of culture in the form of folk language, traditional expressions, puzzles, legends, fairy tales, jokes, folk songs, fine arts, etc., is closely related to the culture of a society. For this reason, he assigned his students to collect various folklores in the country. These writing materials were later made into a book with the title Indonesian Folklore (1984). In addition, he also wrote several other books related to folklore, such as Guidance on How to Collect Folklore for Archiving (1972), and Some Problems with Folklore (1980). +
Jamie James lived as an expatriate author in Indonesia since 1999, after leaving a nearly 25-year career as a freelance critic and travel writer in New York City.
Much in demand by leading publications in the USA, Jamie James’ criticism and travel essays have appeared in some of the most august publications including The American Scholar, Atlantic Monthly, New Yorker, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, National Geographic Traveler, Condé Nast Traveler and Men’s Journal. His literary criticism has been notably featured in Parnassus and Lapham’s Quarterly.
While still in the USA, James wrote two books on archaeology, Pop Art and The Music of the Spheres: Music, Science, and the Natural Order of the Universe (Grove Press, 1993) that was lauded by Robert Saxton in the Times Literary Supplement as “an important and well-researched book—essential reading.”
With Jamie James' migration to Asia in 1999, he began publishing novels reflecting his new Asian home. In 2002, he published a ground-breaking novel Andrew & Joey: A Tale of Bali (Kensington, 2002) written almost entirely in a series of exchanged e-mails. The Java Man (Metafor, 2004) saw James author a hilarious novel in a style reminiscent of Evelyn Waugh relating how an Indonesian poet takes up residence in a contemporary English country village causing confusion and havoc along the way. Four years later, James published a biography about the ill-fated Asian exploits of famed American herpetologist Joe Slowinski - The Snake Charmer (Hyperion, 2008).
Mixing literary criticism, biography, and fiction James wrote Rimbaud in Java: The Lost Voyage (EDM, 2011) retelling how an iconoclastic and incomparably gifted French poet abandoned Paris to explore the Indonesian archipelago. In a review of the book written for Harper’s, Zadie Smith said James' book presented “the spectacle of reading someone write beautifully about something he finds, well, beautiful.”
Most recently, Jamie James love of historical and biographical investigation was presented in full display in The Glamour of Strangeness (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2016) delving into untold stories of a collection of expatriate artists who, like himself, migrated to newfound homes in foreign lands with oftentimes highly unique and remarkable results.
Jamie James was born in 1951 in Texas where he completed High School before pursuing a tertiary degree at the prestigious Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, graduating in 1973. After college, some of his earliest assignment were with Andy Warhol’s avant-garde Interview Magazine, Rolling Stone, and Time Magazine. James passed away in Bali on 8 February 2020.

Janet DeNeefe is a literary expert who enjoys Java and Balinese culture. She has recently given the Lifetime Achievement Award to writers such as Nh. Dini. Additionally, she is the founder and director of the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival. A brilliant writer, she enjoys compiling recipes and stories into cookbooks. +
"...apart from Bali on which his many books focus — like Time Rites and Festivals in Bali Today I, Bali Today II, Bali Inspires and Lempad ( 2014 ) — he has written numerous books on Indonesian artists, such as Affandi, Arifien Neif, Srihadi Sudarsono, Walter Spies, Made Wiante and many more.
He is indeed a learned man. But his demeanor displays a humility that can be too much, even for his close Indonesian friends. They say he is more Javanese than the Javanese. He would never stand up, for instance, to demand his due, leaving himself victim to people’s manipulative tendencies.
Yet he is held in high respect. ..."
