RAMA AND SHINTA
One day Rama was sent by Prabu Janaka
to meditate in the Dandaka forest, which was then accompanied by his wife
Shinta and his brother
Laksmana. They together go to the Dandaka forest to carry out the mandate from
Prabu Janaka. Finally, after noon they arrived in the forest.
Scenario:
(Setting in the Dandaka forest)
Rama: "Dinda, it seems we have
arrived, are you tired?"
(Ask him softly)
Shinta: "Not dear, as long as I
am beside you I will never feel tired" (Shinta answered softly and as if
flattering Rama)
Laksmana: "Sis, what if we just
set up a tent here." "Looks like the place is very shady and
spacious."
Rama: "Um ...!" (Nodding his
head)
"What do you think?"
Shinta: "Yes, kanda, Laksmana is right, here the place
is very shady and spacious, we better just set up a tent here."
Rama: "Good! then we set up a
tent here! "(he said firmly)
Then they set up tents together in the
middle of the forest and in Bali. Shinta saw her husband and brother exhausted, then
he got them a drink.
Shinta: "kakanda, you must be tired. Here drink the water,
so the fatigue is gone. "(While rubbing his forehead with a scarf)
"Laksmana too, take a break first!
Later we will be continued again, this ...
drink the water. "
Laksmana: "Yes ... Sis Shinta! moment! "(Answered
with enthusiasm)
Rama: "right what your sister Shinta said,
rest first, then continue! "
Laksmana: "yes" (put the work and went straight
to Rama and Shinta)
When they had been resting it turned
out that without them knowing it, they were watched by Rahwana and two of his
followers. Rahwana is confused about how to get rid of rama and laksmana from
shinta. So that he can get shinta. Because he considered Shinta was the reincarnation of Dewi
Widowati. finally Rahwana got the idea, he pointed to one of his followers.
Rahwana: "Um ...! they are
resting, we must take advantage of this opportunity to attract their attention.
"
(he told his follower)
"I know …. !
"(He said as if he had found an idea)
"Maricha ...!"
Maricha: "Yes Sire ...!"
Rahwana: "Maricha, I will turn you into a golden deer"
Maricha: "What do
you mean ...?"
Rahwana: "Look, after i turn you into a golden deer, I order you to draw their
attention with the deer dance!"
Rahwana: "after you dance and you see they are interested in hunting you.
You just run away so that the rama and laksmana run after you and finally
Shinta is left alone. after that I can bring Shinta! "
Rahwana: "now you stand there. I will change you become deer. READY ...?
Maricha: "Ready !"
Rahwana: "Houm ......" (while committing to reciting the mantra) Hap
...!
Then in an instant be a golden deer maricha. After that the deer immediately
appeared before Rama, shinta and lakasmana see the deer dance which was very
beautiful.
Shinta: "Kanda, laksmana, look! the deer is very beautiful
(while pointing to the dancing deer)
Rama: "Yes Dinda!"
Laksmana: "Yes Sis, the deer are so cute!"
Shinta: "Kanda, look! there is a deer with horns of gold, I really want
the golden deer kanda! I want you to catch the deer for me? "
Rama: "Do you really want that my wife?"
Shinta: "Yes, kanda! Will you catch it for me? "
(with a very hopeful tone)
Rama: "Alright, for your sake my dear wife, I will hunt the golden deer
for you" (while preparing equipment to hunt) "And brother, please take
care of your sister Shinta as long as i go hunting the deer. Because I'm afraid
Rahwana will suddenly come and take your sister away. You know that all this time Rahwana always chase your sister Shinta wherever she goes. "
Laksmana: "Yes brother!
I understand, I'll take care of Shinta. "
Shinta: "Be careful, bro! I'm sure Kanda will definitely come back soon
with the golden deer for me "(kissing Rama's hand).
"Kanda, I love you so much" (holding Rama's hand)
Rama:
"I love you too!" (Rubbing sinta's hair)
Then Rama immediately ran towards the direction of the deer to leave
Laksmana: "Be careful Brother!
"
After Rama left, Rahwana was confused about the laksmana who did not go after
the golden deer. suddenly there was a voice of rahwana who changed her voice like rama
Rahwana: "Please ...! Please ...! Laksmana help me. "
(he shouted in a rama-like voice)
Shinta: "Laksmana! did
you hear something? "
Laksmana: "Yes Sis! it's brother
Rama, he calls my name
"" I'm sure it's brother Rama!
" Brother Rama needs
help. I have to help him "(he said with a worried tone)
Shinta: "Yes, bro ...! You just go help kakanda now, im will wait here. "
Laksmana: "But Sis! I have promised to brother Rama to look after you "
Shinta: "It's ok! just
help your brother. Just relax. I'm fine here !"
Laksmana: "Well, I will help brother
Rama. But first I will make
protection for Sis Shinta ”
Laksmana makes a magic circle for shinta
Laksmana: "Sis Shinta, please enter
the magic circle!"
Shinta: "What is this ?"
(While entering the magic circle) "
Laksmana: "Houm ......!" (Reciting the mantra) "hap ...!"
"Now, this circle has
become a magic circle"
Shinta: "Magic circle?"
Laksmana: "Yes, this magic circle cannot be penetrated or entered by
anyone, so Sis Shinta can not be touched by anyone. But if sister Shinta comes out, you will not be able to enter this
circle again. "
Shinta: "Yes! Now you can calm down, leave me? "
Laksmana: "Yes Sis, but Sis Shinta must promise not to leave this magical
circle. Until I and brother
Rama return! ”
Shinta: "Yes, I promise to
you, now you go help your brother
Rama?"
Laksmana: "Fine, I'm leaving! Pray for me, I'll be back soon ”(saying
goodbye by bringing a set of archery tools)
After the laksmana leaves, rahwana
become an old man. The old man goes to shinta with an
old-fashioned form and walks with a cane. Shinta:
"old man, why did you in the middle of the
forest? Why not at home?
"
Grandpa: "i am looking
for my grandson! for one week i did
not eat and drink. "
Shinta: "But you ...!"
Grandpa: "please help me ...! If I don't eat I'm sure I'll die. "
Because Shinta felt sorry for the old
man who was the incarnation of Rahwana, he finally left the magic circle
to take food and drink.
Shinta: “moment. I'll get
food and drink for you.
"
Grandpa: "Thank you, ... "You're a good girl, may God reward you for
your kindness."
Shinta: "Thank you, ...! "
Shinta goes into the tent to take food and drink. The old man was transformed into Rahwana. Shinta
came out and she was shocked to see the old grandfather became Rahwana, she so shocked, the food and drink in her hand was dropped.
Rahwana: "Ha ... ha ... ..ha ... ha ...!"
Shinta: "Huh, Rahwana! So, you ………"
Rahwana: "Yes ...! I was the old
man, then the deer and the voice of asking for help were all my plan. Ha ... ha ... ha ...!
"(Proud)
Shinta: "You are very sly
Rahwana. What do you want now? "
Rahwana: "I want you to come with me!"
Shinta: "No ...! I do not want …!"
Rahwana: "Hap ... ! "
Rahwana bewitched the goddess Shinta so she passed out. Shinta was carried
away. Few hour later,
Finally Rama arrived.
Rama: "My wife ... ! Dinda ...! Kanda comes. But sorry dinda, I can't
catch the golden deer you want "
Seeing that Shinta didn't come out of the tent, Rama finally looked for Shinta
in the tent.
Rama: "my wife ...! my wife ...! Dinda ... ! Where are you ?"
(looking in all angles)
Rama: "Laksmana ...! Laksmana. Where are you? "
After circling, he finally found a glass.
Rama: "Hem ...! this is definitely Rahwana's act. I must immediately save Shinta. "
"But ... ! I have to meditate in this forest, I can't leave this Dandaka
forest. What do I do now? "
"Now I know ...! Anoman, yeah ... Anoman can definitely help me. "
Not long after that Anoman came up with his signature dance
Anoman: "Hi ! What is wrong ? why does your face look so confused? "
Rama: "I'll tell you later. Please
save Shinta from Rahwana.
Shinta was kidnapped, and I was ordered by Prabu Janaka not to leave this forest. you are the only person
who can help me. Will you help me?
Anoman: "Calm down my friend! I will definitely help you ”(while patting
Rama's shoulder)
Rama: "thank you. “
Anoman: "Yes, now, now I will
go to save Shinta, just pray so
that I can take Shinta from that damn Rahwana!"
Rama: "Yeah, I really hope for you Anoman!"
Anoman: "Yes, I left first."
Then Anoman goes to save Shinta. As long as Anoman left, Rama continued to pray
that his wife Shinta quickly returned to his lap.
Rama: "Oh God! Please save my wife Shinta. I love her so much !"
Not long after that Anoman finally came up.
Anoman: "Ha ... ha ... Ha…."
Rama: "anoman, but where is my wife shinta? Can't you take it from Rahwana? "
Anoman: "Forgive me my best friend! Rahwana is very strong, I can't defeat her. "
Rama: "it's impossible, I'm sure the back of anoman is stronger than
Rahwana"
Anoman: "I'm sorry, my best friend, but I have a replacement for you"
Rama: "substitute? What do you mean by substitute? No, I don't want to
betray my wife Shinta, I love her so much! "
Anoman: "Yes, I understand! But just look at it, OK! "
Shinta entered with her face covered with cloth and then danced in front of
Rama and Anoman. After the dance was finished, the three dancers came out and
Shinta approached Rama.
Shinta: "Is it true that you don't want to accept me anymore?
Rama: "this voice !"
Shinta opened the cloth that
covered her face
Rama: "Oh ... dinda! finally you come back. "
"Thank you for coming back, . I don't know what should i do to repay your kindness? "
Anoman: "Ah ... don't worry! I'm also glad to be able to help you."
Rama: "But for a little while, do you see Laksmana?"
Anoman: "No ...! I didn't see Laksmana at all.”
Shinta: "Oh no, dear, Laksmana
went to look for you, because
we heard you shouting for help."
Rama: "shout? I'm sure
that must be Rahwana's act. Yes, im
sure he will be back soon. "
Anoman: "Do you still
need my help?"
Rama: "No, Thank you so
much for your help"
Anoman: "Yes, you’re welcome!
“
Rama: "yeah, once again I thank you for your help."
Shinta: "Thank you, Anoman" (waving)
Finally, Anoman left Rama and Sinta.
Suddenly Rama was silent, with a sad face
Shinta: "Why are you
silent? Are you not happy to see me
come back? "
Rama: "I am happy that you’re back, but surely you will return with a
condition that has been tainted by Rahwana"
Shinta: "my goodness! why do you have thoughts like that? Even though
under any circumstances, i
will remain and always keep the sanctity
for you. "
Rama: "I believe in you my wife, but do you know that he touched you when you were
unconscious?"
Shinta: "but I'm sure kanda, Rahwana, haven't touch me, I'm sure !"
Rama: "Do you want to
prove it?"
Shinta: "Yes"
Rama: "Houww …… .." (Rama makes a fire)
"Now I ask you to walk on this fire, if you burn it means you have been
stained. But if you don't burn, you are still pure! "
"Do you want to do it?"
Shinta: "yes kanda, for
my love for you, I will do it!"
After Shinta walked on the fire, it turned out that Shinta was not burned. But
Shinta's face became more beautiful. Finally, Rama knew that Shinta was still
pure and accepted Shinta again.
Rama: "Dinda, it turns out Dinda is still pure. Forgive me my wife, I love you
honey! "
Shinta: "I also love you
so much! "
When they were holding hands, suddenly a laksmana arrived.
Laksmana: "Brother ...!"
Rama & Shinta: "Yach ...!"
That is the Ramayana story
hopefully will be a very valuable lesson for all of us.
