Heading for Bali Sarwada

Is Rsi Markandeya, a Great Rsi who came from India once in austerities on the land of Java got pawisik from Hyang Prama Kawi to travel eastward precisely to the island of Bali. By inviting hundreds of followers he headed for the land of Bali by first clearing the dense wilderness. Not long after, almost all of the followers who he invited died of the plague.

For the events experienced by Rsi Markadeya and his followers in the land of Bali, he then returned to Java by holding a hermitage or meditation precisely at Mount Rawung. In his asceticism, he got a clue from the Almighty Gaib, that if you later return to the island of Bali then do the ceremony or offering before entering the forest. Armed with these instructions, he returned to the land of Bali by inviting several followers.

Arriving in the land of Bali he held a ceremony in accordance with the instructions of the payogan results. After that, all of his followers managed to encroach on the forest and finally arrived safely at the foot of Mount Agung. In this place, he held another ceremony by planting Panca Datu. The place where he held a ceremony and planted Panca Datu came to be known as Basukihan.

Narrated later Rsi Markandeya with some of his followers finally arrived at a place to make a settlement. In this settlement, he taught his followers how to grow crops and cultivate farms to raise good livestock. In this place, he created an excellent irrigation system for rice fields, which later was known as Subak. Long story short said that this place was later named Taro Village. In Taro Village, the community is very active in farming according to directions from Rsi Markandeya and planting all plants that can be used as a means of ceremonies and raising sacred animals without having to buy. The description of the situation of a prosperous village that is rich in ripah Loh jinawi toto serenity raharja is then known as Sarwada Village or a multi-village. The community is not difficult to find materials for upakara in facing and celebrating the holy days at that time because it is almost available on every inch of the village land.

Currently, the Governor of Bali has the Nangun Sat Kerthi Loka Bali program towards a new era of Bali which is very appropriate to be supported by all Balinese people. With this program, it is hoped that the sanctity of Bali's land will reappear. The island of Bali will return to being the Island of the Gods, if lakes, forests, rivers, land, sea, and air are not polluted by the dirty hands of residents who now live on the island of Bali or by the hands of migrants or guests who do not understand the meaning of holiness or it is intentional not to want to understand and then put aside that holiness.

This kind of Nangun Sat Kerthi Loka Bali program has actually been carried out by intellectuals of university campuses in Bali, one of which is Udayana University. Using the Bali Shanti flag, researchers and devotees of the largest state university in Bali are greening and planting thousands of rare plants and upakara trees. New planting locations around large temples in Bali. This program must of course continue to run in synergy with the provincial government of Bali and all regencies and cities in Bali.

In addition to the Udayana University Bali Shanti program, there is also a movement carried out by senior Parisadha Hindu officials by planting thousands of coconut palm trees in almost every traditional village in Bali.

In the days of ancient Bali, our elders had saved the sanctity of Bali by carrying out a policy of protecting rare trees and prohibiting logging. As for trees that are protected and forbidden from cutting such as Candlenut, Bodhi, Waringin, Puntaya, Mendeng, Kamalagi, Granary, Orange, Wunut (Bunut), and Ano. Some of the names and types of trees may not be known by the current generation, therefore, a policy must be made as soon as possible so that we can save the rare and magical plants for the purity and continuity of the natural desires of Bali.

Like it or not, like it or not, then all citizens or residents in Bali must work together in synergy with the local government to save the sanctity of Bali's nature as the Island of the Gods. Both thoughts, words, and deeds, all must be focused and modeled on the behavior of God so that it can lead to good deeds or Daivi Sampat and away from the actions of giants/asuras or asuri Sampat.

The role of Indigenous villages

Bali Island is actually not too broad compared to the row of islands in the archipelago. This might also be one of the reasons why our great ancestors from the land of Java chose the island of Bali as a destination to re-practice the sacred teachings brought by the Rsi from the land of India or the land of Bratawarsa. Therefore, this historical call an ancestor's call must be welcomed and trashed by all components of Balinese society.

The Bali regional government under the leadership of Governor Wayan Koster has captured this signal quite a lot by making local regulations on the Desa Adat and designing several governor regulations such as Rapergub on Protection of Lakes, Springs, Rivers, and Seas. Rapergub on the management of fermented drinks and/or distillation typical of Bali, Ranpergub on the management of integrated Balinese security system based on customary villages, Ranpergub on the protection of temples, Pratima and religious symbols, rapergub on structuring clean, green and beautiful roads with plants Bali and other local and endemic.

All of these programs will succeed if all the customary villages in Bali are driven simultaneously and seriously and given sufficient subsidized funds. Take an example of the local government wants to save a variety of rare fruits, it is necessary to provide thousands of seeds and be distributed throughout the existing customary villages to be planted and then monitored until they grow big and bear fruit. Likewise, various types of flower plants both Cempaka, sandat, and others so that there is no more vacant land in Bali without fruit and flower plants. Bali's air will be fragrant, fragrant and fragrant, and the Gods or Pitara and Holy Spirits will come from the heavenly approach to their "damages" in Bali by giving grace and guidance to the path of the Dharma, not the opposite of the arrival of giants or asuras and dedemites who wish destroy Bali on all fronts. If this is realized, the mothers will have no difficulty in preparing fruit and flowers for all kinds of holy holidays, especially the Galungan and Kuningan feast days because they are abundant and the water in Bali will become "sweet" because there are many large and sacred tree roots scattered. in mountain forests, hills, lakes, and other places. So the nickname Sarwada is not only limited to one village like the Rsi Markandeya era but will be Bali Sarwada for a holy and prosperous Bali born inward in the future. Hopefully.
