Villagers also questioned the issue in the meeting group. Villagers propose to the Kelian Banjar to provide penalties for Pan Balang Greed. At the meeting place for dialogue between the Pan banjar Balang Greed by villagers.

In one day tell the Pan Balang Greed again briefed by Kelian Banjar to bring sengauk to Bale Agung. But he brings a damaged beak protested, taking out the word rude to the villagers there. So that citizens feel kesal.Diceritakan back there one day Pan Balang Greed briefed by Kelian Banjar into the mountains to hunt with a dog vicious. But if you do not bring dogs will be fined.

The next day the villagers went hunting with a dog vicious and across the river deep and swift. Greed Balang Pan up the rear while wearing his dog. When he reached the river, he could not menyebranginya. Then he has a sly sense of fishing for the villagers came up to him. Because of this sly sense, the villagers get upset. Until the middle of the forest, the villagers began to exert his dog to hunt animals like deer, pigs and others. But because dogs Pan Balang Greed small and can not hunt, so he went back out to as sly sense - if the dog was seen with the dashing hunting. He threw it into the bushes until the dog was screaming in pain is very hard. Then he proudly says that his dog is the most powerful in terms of hunting. The hunt was finished and the villagers returned to their homes - each.

The next day, Pan Balang Greed briefed that there will be a meeting in Bale Banjar. Get out more cunning mind to fool people. He was treating the black sticky rice into a traditional snack was given water and he made as if - if it looks like dog shit. Then he meletakanya near pillar Bale Banjar. At the time prior to the meeting, he challenged the citizens to eat the snack that seems - though it looks like dog shit. Residents do not dare to accept tantanganya.

The next day, Pan Balang Greed briefed again that there are rules to not damage the plantations and stealing other people. If convicted, they will in large fines. Hearing briefing, the sly sense back out. He uses pulet crop land (a type of vines at ground level and the thorny and can be attached to something, such as fabrics) that exist at the edge of the market. This land is like - if built like a plantation. It is told that one day there's someone who wants to market visitors to defecate, and then he found the plantation owned by Pan Balang pulet Greed. He also defecate there. Unwittingly pakian the release sticked by pulet plants. So Pan Balang Greed pulet accused by stealing his crops. People were getting annoyed with the behavior of the Pan Balang Greed.

I was so pissed off the villagers, they feel annoyed towards the existence of the Pan Balang Greed. He asked for help to the Children Court (respectable people) to conquer the Pan Balang Greed. Anak Agung give villagers then the healing substance (poison) to be consumed by the Pan Balang Greed. But Greed already know the Pan Balang villagers plan against him. Before he died, he gave orders to his wife in order to create artificial body which was then placed in Bale Sekenem. The corpse itself placed inside the coffin and put that in the bedroom.

Pan told Balang Greed is dead because then the healing substance provided for their life. Then the wife of Pan Balang Greed follow what has been asked by the Pan Balang Greed. Later in the afternoon, there were four people are not responsible for the contents of the house to steal the Pan Balang Greed. At the Pan Balang wife was in Bale Sekenem Greed, the thief walked into the bedroom and saw a large crate containing the treasures that he thought a lot. The casket was brought away.

In the midst perjalananan defection, one of the thieves proposes to open the coffin. But there is a bad odor, that is the smell of carrion. Then he moved to somewhere else to open it. But the smell of carrion is still just smelled. Then one of the thieves decided to open the coffin in Pura village, because he thinks that Pura village is a sacred place and clean, so there's no longer the smell of carrion. Arriving at Pura village, they began to open the casket. It turned out that the casket containing the body of the Pan Balang Greed. They ran away leaving the coffin is closed.

The next day, the stakeholders have come to perform prayers regularly. But he saw a coffin in front of the Bale Agung. Ark he thought was a gift. He also invited the villagers to look at this incident. This coffin is treated as doing homage to God, such worship. Then the stakeholders intend to open this casket. And it turns out it was the carcass of the Pan Balang Greed. So how can the villagers do not take care of the body of the Pan Balang Greed, because initially the crate merekan worship. So at the end of the story, the villagers really just busy with the problems of Pan Balang Greed.

What can the Vedas teach about modern technology?

2 komentar
If we follow the development of the western world, it is not rare to hear the phrase "It's very difficult to find the intersection between religion and technology are always in conflict." Really all that? Westerners generally would tend to justify this, they are rarely even found no core-core technology in their religion that Christians in general. What the Gospels do not mention technology? According to the publisher of the book "Hindu religion in the world" said if he was not satisfied with the teachings of their religion, thus forcing him to study other scriptures until he eventually falls in love with the Vedas and became his followers. What is the Gospel that wrong? To answer this question again we must realize that God will reveal the book in accordance with the time and place. What about the Vedas? Will suffer the same fate? Apparently not. Veda so complete and we only realized after researchers from the western express. They move to the Vedas for his knowledge, but we as a generation heir to waste and instead choose to be saved with small dictionaries are not comparable with the Vedas. All because of our own ignorance.

In the Atharva Veda VII.107.1 chapter mentions "Ava Divas tarayanti, Sapta suryasya rasmayah" meaning sun has seven types of rays, they are the source of rain. Still remember the colors of the rainbow? About the terbiaskan polikromatis light into seven types? Light is composed of two types, light such as sunlight and polikromatis monochromatic light, eg laser beam. By using pembias, on the basis of the difference angle deviation of each type of monochromatic light, the rays of sunlight as polikromatis can be split into seven parts, often called the color of the rainbow. Very convenient is not it?

Veda Yayur XVIII.40 chapter says "Susumnah suryarasmiscandrama susumnah" meaning sun, called susumna illuminate the moon. Does this not also evidenced by today's modern technology? What is worthy of religious groups that attacked Hindu radikanl today said the Vedas led his followers as the worshipers of the sun and the moon? Is not that just as the object of our concentration on the infinite majesty of God?

It turns out the basics of chemistry are also included in the veda. This is evidenced by the sloka in Atharva Veda III.13.5 chapters that mention "Agnisomau bibhratiapa it tah" means water consists of Oxygen and Hydrogen. It's exactly right, all water is composed of two elements, H2O for water. D2O for heavy water, ie water used in nuclear reactors PHWR as moderators. D is Deutrium, hydrogen with a neutron excess. Can we still say the Vedic culture as ancient cultures that old-fashioned? Yes Vedas are ancient, but this is the most modern of ancient documents that never existed.

The same is also mentioned in the Vedas "Tam it samanam vaninas virudhoantarvatis ca ca ca suvate vivaha" Plants produce vital air called a Samana (Oxygen) on a regular basis. Further in the Reg Veda VIII.72.16 mentioned "Adhuksat pipyusim urjam isam, Sapta suryasya rasmibhih" means the plants absorb energy from the sun is bergisi food. Let's see about photosintesis theory today. What do you know?

This is a small part-sloka sloka implinsit Veda which mentions the basics of modern theory. So many sloka sloka-kind that are still scattered in every part of the Vedas and waiting for our hands touched him for the welfare of mankind. Not only faction specific groups only.

Is there a scientific theory that shrouded the Vedas?
Obviously as Hindus we are already familiar with the book Itihasa, Smriti is very famous book that is the story of Ramayana and Mahabharata. Previously, let us compare the perception of the truth of the story Itihasa. Epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata was not just a mere fiction, but it really is a true story. This
evidenced by the finding of a bridge linking India with Sri Lanka as a mute witness to the story of the monkey army built the bridge in the Ramayana. The discovery of the ruins of the kingdom that sank in the ocean and is perfect with the story of the sinking of the kingdom of Krishna in the Mahabharata. And supported by many other reinforcing evidence, either historical objects, the writings of other books that relate closely to each other, until the apparition from space via satellite sensing. Let us look at the story that returns Rsi Wiyasa her virginity as usual, the story of the birth of Krishna who is none other satus through IVF technology and the birth of Pandavas through biotechnology cloning due to the Maharaja Pandu unable to perform its obligations as a husband. It turned out that the current technology such as plastic surgery, genetics technology to the emerging problem of cloning in the modern world in the 20th century has been inspired in the Vedic era that is so old. In the Mahabharata also mentioned about the possibility of a man can get without going through the help of her offspring. This was narrated when Maha Rsi Wiyasa wanted a son at the time the war lasted bharata Yuda. He issued a kama plot which eventually evolved into boys (Bhagawan Suka). Currently, a woman who wanted a descent without the presence of a man is truly to be realized. When is the story of the birth of biotechnology such as Bhagawan Like this would really happen in this time period?
Still remember about technology flyover proposed by Raka Sukawati Tjokorde? Apparently all this has been inspired by the Vedas, from King technique in the story of Ramayana. And even this invention are named according to the source of inspiration.

Nuclear Energy in the perspective of Vedic

This scattered-scattered Vedic technology that turned out very modern. There are even yet imagined by man until today had previously indescribable by the Vedas. Truly amazing is not it? Piece of writing on the knowledge of the technology is just a drop in the Vedas, there are many other amazing things from the vast ocean of Vedic knowledge. Now we come to the purpose of this paper is made, ie how the nuclear relationship as a field of study am I in this moment with the Hindu Vedas as scriptural. Nuclear energy appears on the theory of materials with energy kesetaran voiced by Einstein with a very famous formula, E = m C2. A discovery of a very mencengakan even deliver it as a predicate terjenius people in the world. But may differ ceritranya with an expert who heard the discovery of Veda Einstein, why? II.72.4 In the chapter mentioned in the Rigveda "Aditer dakso ajayata, daksad uaditih pari" means: From Aditi (material) proper home (energy) and of the proper (energy) came from Aditi (material). It turns out that mencengakan theory has been written long before the ancestors of Albert Einstein was born. So who's more powerful, what Einstein Vedas? Here's documents with Almighty God without blemish. The gaffe simply because we find our own limitations of thought covered by the virtual, and stupidity.
Given the equivalence of energy and matter theory, from the early 19th century was so rapid technological developments. Many of nature's secrets began to be revealed, but unfortunately turned out to us as young intellectuals are blind to the Hindu holy book itself. We are just waiting for someone to disclose it. Why not, it turns out the fact that the main source of energy on this earth is the sun mentioned in Rigveda II.13.6 chapters that mention "Yo bhojanam ca ca dayase vhardanam. Meaning: sun bergisi provide food to the universe. As we know in the sun (star) nuclear reaction, which is a fusion reaction between hydrogen nuclei into helium with the release of energy is very large. If we compare between the initial mass before the reaction with the reaction apparently occurred after the shrinkage of mass, the mass loss that is subsequently converted into energy which radiate all over and come to the planet Earth as the ultimate source of energy.

There is a sloka in the Atharva Veda XIII.3.10 chapter mentions "solar Yasmin arpitah Sapta sakam" means: God Almighty created the seven pieces of the sun / strong solar simultaneously. Maybe this sloka is the number of solar systems similar to our solar system with the sun there are seven centers in the Milky Way galaxy is one. And most probably in place, there was life on earth as though with a different hue. We prove it.

Back transferred to the nuclear reactions that occur in stars or the sun. In chapter I.164.43 Rgveda mentions "arad dhunam Sakamayam apasyam, visuva the enavarena" means: the sun on all sides surrounded by a strong gas. As we discussed above, the fusion reactions in a solar hydrogen fuel and produce waste products such as Helium. Based on analysis of the radiation and observation during a solar eclipse, the sun is mostly composed by elements of the gas, but because the force of gravity causes the density at the core of the sun is much larger than the exterior. Outermost regions of gravity gets the weakest and here outpouring flames and gases which has incredible speed, called the corona, such as what is disclosed above sloka. If we want to investigate the continuation of the nuclear reactions in the sun which in turn can support all living things can also be described quite accurately in many sloka sloka-Veda.

Let us look at the nuclear era in the history of the Vedas. There is a unique discovery that mentioned in former war areas kuru now there are a source of radiation high enough that centered only on this area. If we draw a relationship between the weapons are said to have high explosive power of Arjuna and the great gun-knight's other ksartia that exploded in Bharata Yuda, what is not possible if the weapons used contain radioactive elements?

In the battle between Arjuna with Asvatama also narrated the use of magic weapon that can Brahmasirah flames of the mountain. Any weapon that can release energy that way? Suppose petroleum, need how many barrels of oil? While the nuclear fuel only need about one gram of it. One more story
very interesting as told in mausala Parwa, namely the explosion of weapons that cause destruction of the nation mausala Vrishni and simultaneously sinking into the seabed Krisna kingdom. With our technology today, what a weapon that could destroy sedasyat? Hydrogen bomb? Bomb from uranium or other? Only the good nuclear fission reaction (cleavage, for example on Uranium) or fusion (union, for example hydrogen bomb), which has destroyed the power that way.

How can we deny these truths? All contents of the Vedas that we know to be true is just a small portion of truth which has been proved by humans, while there is still saved a lot of truths that can not be known by human methods. All because of ignorance and stupidity we are blind to the truth of the sacred Vedas.

Topeng Sidakarya

History Topeng sidekarya

The story supposedly happened in the reign of Dalem Waturenggong in Gelgel, when he held a big ceremony at Pura Besakih. Many priests are invited to this ceremony muput.

Tersebutlah priests (Brahmins) magic from Keling, who was not invited to the ceremony, but want to get involved muput works. This intention because it is based on kinship relations between Keling in Java and Bali Gelgel therefore he came. Unfortunately, due to travel far and for days, until the Gelgel Pandita Keling in a state of disheveled, his clothes in rags, like a beggar. In such clothes, no one royal staff who believe that this uninvited guest of a priest. So, Pandita Keling expelled by force, after it was humiliated.

Pandita Keling go with revenge. In a quiet place, he did fight with the mantra that contains the oath Yadnya held by Dalem Waturenggong will bring blessings not / does not work, even disastrous. All offerings become rotten and the rats were swarming around the foul offerings. Rats destroy crops up more and more farmers. People became restless.

King Waturenggong in samadinya know who condemn the big ceremony. He was then sent to pick up Agile Aryan priests who still live in a quiet place (suung) it. King apologized and invited to participate muput Pandita Keling ceremony pamuput even be the most ultimate so that work becomes sida (blessed). The procession was for most people then called pamuput Sidakarya.

From the legend that the Hindu community in Bali and then create a mask Sidakarya. Its form merangas ugly teeth as a symbol of the priests who looked like homeless people. Therefore, the dancers usually more Sidakarya mask covering the face - especially the mouth - with a white cloth that he brought. However, the mantra is pronounced very fortunate because it is done with ngider Buwana (all directions). That is why, not all dancers can dance to Dalem Sidakarya mask.

Most of the people of Bali who does not perform mask Sidakarya to muput Yadnya another reason, namely not want to call sekaa mask. Expenditure increased by enacting a mask. However, the actual mask itself can be staged Sidakarya without the "mask performances." That means only a dancer who brought a mask that has been entitled (ritually) to bring it Sidakarya Dalem mask.

Gamelan accompaniment is not a problem, could gong gede, Angklung, and regular gender, adjusted for the gamelan Yadnya exist in implementation. In this case Sidakarya Mask dancers called the "Mask Pajegan", because he had danced many roles. Dalem Sidakarya appear only at the end of that when making tirtha. Because it was previously "dancer pajegan" This improvisation and monologue to take on the appearance Sidakarya Dalem. Dancers can membanyol, could also provide a kind of dharma discourse, depending on who the dancers.

As a ritual art (art guardian) Mask Sidakarya need to be developed and popularized. Of course the main function added, not only for the end of mentradisikan pamuput Yadnya legend, but for the media discourse of dharma. Now this is not only rat but also the troubling moral decline in the younger generation. Well, who knows Mask Sidakarya resistance could be the media in addressing this moral problem.

Barong Landung and history

0 komentar

Hello friend i wil tell you about barong landung and hsitory
you can visit original website, source : http://kemoning.info/blogs/?p=592
Barong Landung

WHETHER on holiday Galungan ago there was a ngelawang Barong Landung in your area? Or there is a plan that will ngelawang Barong Landung in Kuningan day later? Perhaps most Balinese Barong Landung did not find that there are around in the villages. In fact, many young people in Bali currently do not know the existence of Barong Landung. Indeed Barong Landung including rare art, sacred anyway.

First, Barong Landung ngelawang (rounds) to the villages. Villages that do not have the barong barong Landung learned form it. Ngelawang purpose is to drive the plague. Now, times have changed. Illness no longer come from humans sakti (less work make other people sick), diseases come from animals, for example, dengue fever mosquito. Ngelawang any car today is a mobile health center.


Landung barong barong as the name suggests is a tall (Landung in Bali). To more easily remembered, Barong Landung like ondel-ondel in Jakarta. The dancer was alone, carrying the barong's tall and he looked out from the belly barong a given hole. Face barong Barong Ket is not like that more resemble an animal. Barong Landung humanlike face. There are a pair of male and female. Barong Landung ordinary men called Jero Gede, black-faced. Barong Landung While women commonly called Jero Luh, white face. These colors are symbolic. Nor was the appearance of the symbol.

What symbol? Depending on what legend attached to the Barong Landung. Well, here's where the unique Barong Landung, no uniformity in the legend, so is rather difficult to prosecute when the actual art was born, and for the sacred symbol of what is born.


Barong Landung in general Klungkung Regency Queen Cede Mecaling deduces that berstana in Nusa Penida. Once, there was at one time, the plague struck in Balinese villages. This is none other than Queen Cede subordinates acted without the blessing of Mecaling King Nusa this. The priests gathered in Bali, how to drive out the plague. Then made a huge statue, faceless black and fanged, the symbol of Jero Gede Mecaling Mecaling or Queen. The statue was then paraded to the various villages (ngelawang), so that the child-fruit spirits Queen Cede Mecaling were terrified because they thought their king who came. So sirnalah disease and society becomes peaceful. For homage to the statue replica Mecaling Jero Gede was made later mate, white face, then called Jero Luh. Now, both Barong Landung was always paraded around the village if any epidemic disease.

Barong Landung in Bangli another legend. The story is taken from the saga of Sri Jaya Pangus king of the dynasty Warmadewa Bali. Panarojan his kingdom centered in the north of Kintamani. Sri Jaya Pangus violate customary a very taboo at that time, namely to marry a Chinese princess named Kang Wei Cing. King Jaya Pangus persisted though not sanctioned marriage royal chaplain, mpu Shiva Gama. As a result, the preacher was angry, then creating a continuous rain, until the entire kingdom of drowning.

Jaya Pangus keep fighting. Kingdom moved to another place. The name was called Balingkang (of Bali plus Kang said, before his wife's name), and people called her king with Balingkang Dalem. Unfortunately, this pair has no descendants. Dalem Balingkang then pleaded to the gods who dwell on Mount Batur to gifted children. But not the children who come by, Dalem Balingkang pulchritude instead terpicut with a daughter who was called Dewi Danu. Dalem was hooked, and then get married secretly without the knowledge of the Princess Kang.

Meanwhile, Kang Wei Cing left her husband of course anxious to linger. He was followed to Mount Batur. In the midst of a great wilderness, Princess Kang surprised to find her husband has become the property of the goddess Danu. The three then engaged miff.

With his magical power, the Goddess Danu beat Dalem Balingkang and Kang Wei Cing up lost ground. Despite missing without a trace, people still love Dalem Balingkang and Princess Kang, and made the statue as a symbol of both. Both the statue was later developed into a Barong Landung. Therefore, if we look at the face Jero Luh and fashion accessories, entered the Chinese culture here.

What about the Barong Landung in other districts? Maybe a different legend. In Pakraman Sesetan, precisely in the Banjar Lantang Bejuh, there is a very sacred barong Landung. Not any time can be staged. Because it is difficult to know how the origins of this Landung Barong.

Of course it is impossible to make out of the grip Barong Landung kesakralannya. Even if there is a will like that, for example, mimic Barong Ket could be commercialized as entertainment pop, his movement is very limited. Indeed, he said there Barong Landung is not only a pair, but more than two, and could perform the play like Arja. Does the younger generation interested in Arja Barong Bali Landung? Far taste, Arja which it has been left free to move the audience, let alone a masked Arja Barong.



Barong Landung not just History

Caesura gending bebarongan habitually sung by two pemundut Barong Landung when ngelawang around the village. Ummah reduce sasuhunan - such as the Barong Landung - from the temple to dance along the road village in the hope that it will generate energy dance magic, a kind of new energy, like the Deity Shiva with his dance dandawa to restore the spirit of life that was taken by the bebutan.

Barong Landung is pralingga, as well as a shield to the villages that are threatened kegeringan. Even in many places, the Barong Landung revered as a symbol of a very dark history in the past. The story that comes when the Sri Jaya Pangus, king Bali from Warmadewa dynasty, kingdom, centered in Panarojan - three miles north of Kintamani. Sri Jaya Pangus accused of having violated customs very taboo at the time, which has the daring to marry a beautiful Chinese princess named Kang Wei Cing. Although it does not get the blessing of the royal chaplain, mpu Gama Shiva, the king persisted did not back down. As a result, the preacher was angry, then creating a continuous rain, until the entire kingdom of drowning.

With a heavy heart the king moved his kingdom to another place, now known by the name Balingkang (Bali + Kang), and the king then called by his people as Dalem Balingkang. Unfortunately, as long they do not have offspring, the king went to Mount Batur, pleaded to the god in there to be blessed with children. But unfortunately, the way he met a beautiful goddess Danu. He was hooked, married, and gave birth to a boy who is very famous until now, Maya Danawa.

Meanwhile, Kang Wei Cing a long wait for her husband's home, getting restless, he was determined to catch up to Mount Batur. But in there, in the middle of an enchanting wilderness, when he himself was surprised to find her husband has become the property of the goddess Danu. The three then engaged miff.

Dewi Danu with fiery rage accused the king had been lying to himself by claiming the former as a virgin. With his magical power, Dalem Balingkang and Kang Wei Cing eradicated from this earth. By people who loved her, both husband and wife - Dalem Balingkang and Kang Wei Cing - It then created the statue, known by name and Bhati Stasura Sterile. The statue is then developed into Barong Landung.

Marriage Culture

But Barong Landung was more than a historical narrative. He not only outwardly marriage, but also cultural. Chinese cultural trinkets, such as thin perforated, patra china, barong sae, has long been married to Balinese culture, even in the field of philosophy has also given birth Shiva Buddha understood that continue to enrich the tradition of Hindu religion in Bali today.

Also, the Barong Landung is not just decorating the temple, he is duwe with all its manifestations is very sacred. He made the adult ayu-kilung refinery, from magical wood such as bark, horse, waruh teluh, mussel, cotton, and "turned on" with a ritual as well as in-plaspas prayascita to eliminate the scale abstract klesa papa. Here, he was given pedagingan form of silver, gold and copper, also pudi ruby (a kind of gem) are paired in a complete crown with his rerajahan - ang, ung, and indeed.

After all parts of the body are united in Upakara masupati dipermaklumkan by sulinggih, stakeholders, and sangging down before the god Surya, Shiva, and Sweep Jagat, Barong Landung and brought to the center of the cemetery. There, in the dark of night Kajeng POND, pemundut must sit in of three human skulls while affirming his heart to receive the most shocking ritual, namely masuci and ngerehin.

Usually, if this is kalinggihin Barong Landung, will have a sign flashes of light invisible to the collapse of the body pemundut until he possessed, and became the Barong Landung shaking uncontrollably. If this happens, the Barong Landung has been considered "alive" and deserve to be given the title Jro Gde barong male to female and Jro Luh.

Gde Jro has a black body, thick straight hair, slanted eyes, teeth houseboy, and the wearing of the keris. Jro Luh The slender, white like Chinese women, and wearing kebaya China. The barong's left hand was bent to the waist, which the observer Psychotherapy believed to be the attitude of restraint, given the left the same meaning with pengiwa. Opponent pengiwa is penengen - right-hand man, who deliberately made straight as the path of righteousness.

The emergence History

However, when in fact it appears Barong Landung? It is still questionable. In Waturenggong Dalem government, the 16th century, art and culture of Bali has reached its peak. At that time, has created reliefs Boma, who later became Tapel Barong Ket. In addition Also there are writing and Calonarang Banaspati, both show the meaning of Barong. Could Barong Landung also created during this period?

To be sure, the human ability to Bali in making the symbols have existed since ancient times, as a symbol of bade, Meru, pratima, rerajahan, sacred colors, offerings, posture in the images of puppets, and so forth. In the process of work, usually for the marvelous things, they - especially the undagi, creators, or artists - often realize the hero is far greater than himself. This is simply to show how great God's power, and how small he was. In this Landung Barong for example, undagi deliberately make a very sinister form with the hope to compensate the magnitude of the evil spirits which often disrupt life in the villages.

According to Pan Putu Budhiartini in his book "Rangda and Barong, Elements of dualistic, Reveal Origin of Humanity home," Kanda Tatwa Barong came from Pat Bhuta, rather there is duwe from The Chess Relatives who took the form of rwa bineda - two characteristics that are different from men -women, day and night, summer-cool, and so forth. A liquid for example, when heated by fire will evaporate into the sky (I Father), while the fire will settle to the earth (I Meme). The sky itself will reduce the rain to nourish the earth and gave birth to life.

Thus, for instance, chances are the embodiment of Barong Landung First Father and First Meme. I realized with the Father as a black sky (Jro Gde), the symbol of the god Vishnu, who maintains the world, as well as the god of Water stains sweep over all the world, and became tirta penglukatan for mankind. While I Meme or Mother Earth (Jro Luh) is white as Iswara who is also called Shiva, the great melting all the stains as well as a place of creation. So, Jro Luh is a Mother Earth that contain, maintain, and will restore the contents the world into his stomach when the time has arrived.

Barong Landung, if concluded, is a manifestation of the Creator itself, Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, which by undagi in the past would be realized in accordance with the circumstances of his time when it, ie, when the warmth of warm-Chinese cross-cultural marriages and Bali, including it "marriage harm" the king with the princess of China.

However, regardless of background, the Barong Landung are masterpieces ever created by our ancestors in Bali. He is a symbol of creation (phallus and yoni), which by scientist Thomas Edison Alfa called positive and negative elements. Believed that if these two elements together, then will generate electrical energy. Remarkably, the concept-yoni phallus created long before Thomas Edison born Alpha.
