BHARATAYUDA WAR
Episode 1 The Beginning of the Pandava and Kaurava feud
Illustration of the Baratayuda War
This story starts from the envy of King Hastinapura against the Pandavas who are actually still his own brother. King Hastina named Prabu Daryudana is the eldest son of Kaurava which numbered 100 people. Because at the time of Prabu Pandu Dewanata, the father of the Pandavas who were the King of Hastina at that time died, the age of the Pandavas was still small, the leadership of Hastina was left to his brother Destarastra. Actually, actually,
Destarastra would only serve as king until the Pandavas' sons were sufficient
age and can lead a country.
But apparently, due to the incitement of Patih Hastina who is also still the uncle of Daryudana, finally with all kinds of ways Hastina can be passed on to Daryudana who is the son of Prabu Destarastra.
Like the Javanese proverb ‘melik anggendhong lali kang hanguwoh sengsaraning liyan’ which means the desire of someone who crosses the line and his rights that should be accepted and done by a leader, which is, it will result in the misery of those under his leadership. Thus was the fate experienced by Kaurawa, due to the incitement of Patih Sangkuni and the greedy nature of Prabu Daryudana.
After gaining a position in Hastinapura as King, Daryudana was not satisfied. For him and Patih Sangkuni, the Pandavas and their descendants are a real threat that will at times make their position threatened. Especially after the success of Prabu Yudistira or Puntadewa held a very large event ‘Saji King Suya’. And this event crowned Judithira as Emperor, which means King of Kings. Of course this greatly disturbed the calmness of Daryudana and Sangkuni. By all kinds of means, Sangkuni, a well-known patih is very cunning and clever
shiny tongue trying to find a way to get rid of Pandavas from the earth
Hastinapura, or even if it could wipe them off the face of the earth.

Finally, Patih Sangkuni did a ruse that would be made to put the Pandavas into his trap. Make an
dice match. This game does not only involve Daryudana and
Judithira. But also Pandavas and their mothers. The stakes are self-esteem and
his country. Because of the sweet persuasion of Patih Sangkuni, finally Yudishthira
accept that game.
And the result is certain, Pandawa lost in
playing dice with Kaurawa. Of course it is because of the cunning of
Sangkuni always justify the means in an attempt to get rid of the Pandavas
from country.
Finally the Pandavas had to be willing to accept the punishment given to Judithira, his brother and mother. It was dumped in the middle of the Kamyaka forest for 12 years. Kamyaka Forest is a dense forest inhabited by all kinds of wild animals and also demons of various types. This forest
will perish. Forests that have never been touched by humans. And the Pandavas must
lived there for 12 years.
Is the punishment just that?
Apparently not. Patih Sangkuni did not want the position of Kaura
threatened at any moment. Although the possibility of living in the forest Kamyaka very
thin, but this cunning coach does not want to take the risk. He wanted to make sure that
the Pandavas will never be able to return to their country. Finally punishment
that is coupled with the punishment of DHELIKAN or SESINGIDAN, which means after
after serving a 12-year sentence, the Pandavas had to hide in the
a State for 1 year and should not be known by Kaurawa or
theliksandi or eye of the State of Hastina.
If in the time of hiding the Pandavas until known by the State of Hastina then the punishment will return to the beginning which is discarded again for 12 years.
A very devious way and it will be very difficult for Pandavas to avoid, so piker from the Patih Sangkuni.
The Pandavas will be able to serve this sentence well
unbeknownst to Kaurawa? Follow this story. And don't forget
