RORO JONGRANG CODE

RORO JONGRANG CODE

Rorojongrang story is a legend that the stories 'mystical' about the development of 1000 temples in one night. To the south of the temple area prambanan (where there are 1000 temples) there are areas Boko hill where the palace is located, is the kingdom where Rorojongrang residing.

This story is interesting, because modern people's questions are "Is there really a development of the temple in 1000 in one night?"
Who was the original name rorojongrang?
Who Prabu Boko?
And who Bondowoso?

This story is developing in Mataram dynasty and was created by a 'scientist' minds from Mataram, namely Ki Juru Mertani (which he also created the story of Nyi Roro Kidul to build a preposition for Panembahan Senopati)

Back to Rorojongrang,
In Javanese literature, there such thing as Tembung ANDHUPARA, namely the stories that believed happened but it never happened. Why some one create ANDHUPARA? Solely to cover the ugliness of history and convey important lessons that can be accepted at any century.
There are so many examples of this, some of which are: Ki Ageng Selo catch lightning, Jaka Tingkir beat crocodiles and drive it, Panembahan Senopati drink coconut water, which caused him to become king, wedding Panembahan Senopati with Nyi Roro Kidul, and much more.

We'll see the story of Rorojongrang from several angles, one of which was from the mataram 'scientist' of Ki Juru Mertani to explain the 'Law of Attractions' and dangers that happened

I will repeat the story of this legend so that we can know the storyline of Rorojongrang that circulating in the general:
In that era, there were two big palace, ie Pengging kingdoms and empires Boko. Pengging kingdom led by King Damar Maya who has a son named Bondowoso.
While the Boko kingdom led by a giant cruel that have beautiful daughter named Rorojongrang.

Pengging when conquered by Boko, Bondowoso as a crown prince not stay silent and managed to defeat King Boko. At the time Bondowoso wanted to take over the kingdom, he saw a very beautiful princess, that is Rorojongrang. Bondowoso melted his heart and wanted to make Rorojongrang as a wife. Rorojongrang refusing to be smooth, Bondowoso should be build 1000 temples in one night.

With its miracle, managed to build Bondowoso 999 shrines. Rorojongrang not want the job of Bondowoso was finished. He knows the weaknesses of Bondowoso is hustle and early morning. Rorojongrang then create an atmosphere as if the morning so that the strength Bondowoso missing.
Knowing the fraud Rorojongrang, Bondowoso became angry and cursed Rorojongrang be a temple at number 1000.

Now we see behind Tembung ANDHUPARA:
The legend of the power struggle of two great dynasty, the dynasty Syailendra and the dynasty Sanjaya that power in Central Java.

Prabu Boko is the metaphor of the king Samaratungga of the Syailendra dynasty. While Bondowoso is a metaphor of Rakai Pikatan of Sanjaya dynasty. And Rorojongrang itself is a metaphor of Pramodhawardani, the wife of Rakai Pikatan which is son of Samaratungga.
This is a family war, between father and father-in-law who finally ended the power of Syailendra dynasty (who built the Borobudur temple) and was replaced by Sanjaya dynasty.

Now we also see what would be submitted by Ki Juru Mertani:
Here are the 'triangle', ie Prabu Boko, Bondowoso, and Rorojongrang.
Prabu Boko symbolized PHYSICAL, Giant is a form of human.
Bondowoso who Symbolized the human MIND.
Rorojongrang who symbolized beauty is human DESIRE.

Prabu Boko defeated Bondowoso, it means MIND can overcome physical weakness, or to defeat PHYSICAL. But DESIRE unbridled can be defeat MIND (Bondowoso tricked by Rorojongrang)

At the time Bondowoso build 1000 temples in one night, that move is DESIRE. The presence of his weakness, ie the sounds and the rising sun symbolizes the FOCUS that should happen.
MIND can be realize DESIRE, with the strong FOCUS (law of attraction)

But strong FOCUS can kill DESIRE themselves, if the initial Intention from Mind is to meet DESIRE (Bondowoso initial intention is to marry Rorojongrang). Because the desire was deceptive, cunning, and can deceive MIND itself with creating various kinds of illusion of the mind

Go back to the NEEDS (ie the conquest of the kingdom Bondowoso Boko), rather than comply DESIRE (ie marry Rorojongrang who suddenly appeared at the time saw the first time)

Thus, what is to be submitted by a scientist of Mataram, Ki Juru Mertani is: Use the 'law of Attraction' to meet the NEEDS, not fulfill our DESIRE.
