“This ruwat actually.“
“Ruwat? “
An event considers puppets to throw bad luck, salvation, even sometimes to ask for blessings. The story of Mahabarata which is the basis of the puppet story is ruwat. If there is ruwat in the puppet. So in the story of mahabarata it is also similar. Only if puppet, ruwat is for the god Kala, the time, while in the story for the sacrifice of snakes. His goal was to pursue the dragon Taksaka who had killed Parikshit. Surely the ruwat existed after the story of snake sacrifice happened. Because the story of mahabarata was created a long time ago. Only the essence of the procurement was likely based on the story. With the desire to sacrifice a snake then the big story happens, in the bill there will be a story that the organizers want to tell for families, children and surrounding grandchildren in order to understand the story described. In the end, the story of this ruwat is distinguished again, between the earth, sea, and family salvation. All of which actually want to always survive the rubedo that hinders the journey of human life. Humans are not separated from trials and lost crossbars. But with the effort of salvation it is expected to make it free from the ordeal. Can overcome it, as well as being able to make more fortune in his daily life across the time left in this world.
This may indicate that revenge is not good. No need to do. Even the truest man. And to break the chain of assassination attempts on one another. So there is no need for a life that is lost because of an intentional. The efforts of Taksaka's great friend made the dragon escape from the sacrifice of the snake. And great effort could change the king's heart's intention to avenge him on the dragon, even though he had killed his beloved parents. Death does not separate the child from the father forever. There were times after that it was just a change from the world realm to the eternal realm. As well as bringing together between his father who is the tungga successor of the great bharata dynasty with the ancestors in the kahyangan that became the core of the story in the great epic.
Back to the problem of ruwat, which was held not for the dragon Taksaka, but for Betoro Kolo so that the sukerto free from his pursuit. Because the sukerto is very much, illustrating that everyone will be pursued by Batara Kala the giant ruler of time. So that humans will not be able to escape from the pursuit of time. From the afternoon, from the afternoon, from the evening, it would be able to make time take someone. To then melt. From ashes back to ashes. And usually the ruwat event is separate from the wayangan event itself. Although both held a puppet. If the day will be held ruwat, then the night will be no wayang entertainment. In one day, there was a complete show. Like Ganesh who writes without breaking, then the event is also not interrupted story until tancep kayon.
