MAHABHARATA --The Great Epic of India









Mahabharata  -- The Great Epic Mahabharata of India, is a literary work that never cracked, even after thousands of years of time passed, thousands of other stories to emerge in a form and title. Aired repeatedly on-screen, reviving the character Pandavas and Kauravas, as they figure ever existed. The fifth character symbolizes virtue Pandavas and Kauravas symbolize evil a hundred, a binary opposition -two opposite things but always side by side never apart. The character was as if life in the real world.

In Javanese culture in the Epic Mahabharata fused traditional literary and artistic. Wayang Kulit --S
hadow Puppets  played a puppeteer the night, accompanied by the melodious voice waranggono –traditional Javanish singer well as the strains of gamelan became a ritual that always appear in a variety of events. Ki Dalang always act out pieces of Mahabharata, so passionate, so spectators flocked staring at colour from dusk till dawn. Mahabharata experienced acculturation, between epic originating from India,  sail to Java, in synergy with the local culture, it gives birth to all-night shadow puppets performances are not there in the land of the said story originated.

Literary works to teach morals, manners as a matter that underlie each behaviour, so that every individual can be directed to do good things, do not harm yourself or others. Life can walk in peace. The art teaches beauty in it also contained the charge with the aim of almost similar philosophy with literature, moral content that is very important in any behaviour. Wayang kulit --Skin Puppet so beautiful and so highly philosophy is contained in every play of the story, the characters seemed to be a role model Pandavas puppet enthusiasts who need to live a life philosophy.

The Mahabharata is a long story that consists of pieces relating a story from each other, inseparable. Marriage between King Dushmanta and Syakuntala beautiful girl in the Hermitage area has given birth to a handsome baby who later in life will give birth to offspring Bharata in Astina Pura. The love story of King Santanu and Dewi Gangga gave birth to Bhisma. The marriage of King Santanu and Saraswati gave birth Citranggada. Citranggada lowered Wichitrawira. Wichitrawira has two wives and Ambalika Ambika. Ambika lowered Dhritarashtra, Ambalika lowering Pandu.

Dhritarashtra married to Gandhari, the 100 Kaurava birth. Pandu married to Kunti, born Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna. Pandu by Madri second marriage gave birth in twins Nakula and Sadewa. Pandu died at a young age, you can forward the throne, then Dhritarashtra blind in his place. The king is blind raise five hundred Kauravas and Pandavas along with Bhishma, who was sworn into resi, never married, so no offspring who is entitled to the throne. Hundredth Kurawa never comfortable with the presence of the Pandavas, disputes always happen. Similarly, the age when they have grown up and it was time to study together with the Grand Master of Drona, disputes between the Pandava and the Kauravas never extinguished, even getting on.

Hatred Kurawa increasingly becoming Yudhistira crowned king of Astina Pura, hate it flared uterus, because hatred Karna - are actually the eldest Pandava. Kunti's first child with Batara Surya before her marriage to Pandu. Karna had always thought her son Radeya, sais the train. Good favour Duryudana strengthen its position to always be on the side of Kauravas, hostile Pandavas. Similarly, the Pandavas Kauravas hate, so it appears devious intention to burn the Pandavas alive fifth, However Pandwa survived.


Kurosawa ruse did not stop here and will never stop until the Pandavas decided to end the conflict in the great war called Bharata Yuda. Great wars are terrible, because each party actually not trying to crush the enemy manifestly destroying the life of the state. Pandavas and Kauravas are cousins, the offspring, but jealousy can turn into a fraternal relations war, because the throne. One rule that has actually owned Kauravas, but envy cause he never willingly see Yudhistira wise throne.

One question that arises then is, where the actual position of the enemy? Except envy always burning inside. The enemy of man lies not in opposing the war, but hatred against others, even cousins ​​that could never be quenched. Mahabharata teaches one sense, a strategy to face an opponent with the most final way, the war. Epos gives a message anyway - even though the five Pandavas covered in blood at the scene flower war, but crime hundred Kauravas at the end of the story never win.
