Hindu influence in Indonesia
9.10 in Jakarta on July 11, 2010 The World Sindhi Conference invited to come in so I accepted it immediately. The reason that the Indian civilization of this country and I especially like the Ramayana and Mahabharata often hear about the impact of Mahagrnthoan lived. Ganesha's featured picture on currency notes is an example.

My wife Kamala, Shuputri talent, Deepak Chopra and his wife Veena decades with my colleagues I left here on July 8 and July 13 for the trip back with unforgettable memories. In Indonesia more than 13 677 islands of which over 6,000 population. There's more than 88 per cent of the total population of 20.28 million Muslims and 10 percent are Christian. 2 percent of its population, mainly Hindu Bali island lives.

Sindhi conference was highly successful. All five continents - America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Asteeralia a thousand delegates from 32 different countries attended. Most delegates were young or older were some of them whose families migrated from the house in 1947 might have faced problems.

Partition of India Raadclif line both sides of the millions of people forced to watch days are trouble. Hindus in Sindh not only Aculhoan and homes had to be replaced but his home state of Punjab and Bengal's Hindus that satisfaction of saving something or other part was separated and divided its entire area and paid with their various states of India Home was forced to make.

Speaking to the Sindhi Pretinedhioan I am proud that they not only divide our efforts and patience of the tragic experiences encountered but usually passed off as good as they were the rich and prosperous. They managed to turn disaster into an opportunity.

Although there were many of these representatives in those countries whose ancestors, where they were represented, the partition of India and the tragedy of division had settled long before. For example, Mr. Suresh Vaswani Jakarta conference organizer whose grandfather was one of them around 1914 - ie almost a century ago had moved to Jakarta! Since then his family settled there and Java island, he made his home. When we were in Sindh the merchants who went abroad and was the class who earned money for their families, the local dialect -'Sindhverkij' (Sindhworkies) was known for.

Certainly knowing that Indonesia's military intelligence official Shuaankar (mascot) Hanuman have been quite happy. The rationale behind it summed up where a local man told Hanuman that Sita kidnapped by Ravana the Ashoka was kept captive in Eden, had succeeded in detecting.

Our family's four-day Indonesia - Jakarta for two days and spent two days in Bali.

Bali is one of the country's largest islands. Its industries of gold and silver work, wood work, weaving, coconut, salt and coffee are included. But as soon as you reach the area you will find that it clearly is full of tourists. Almost three million population one million tourists visit Bali every year.

The island's capital Denpsar 's. Location with a panoramic view of our stay was four Sijns resort on the beach and not far from the airport.In my way I resort in Jakarta Krishna - Arjuna saw a shape like a giant stone remains although it was different from the figure seen in Jakarta.

I asked the driver of your car: Whose statue? And you can imagine that when she answered I was amazed. She said, "The Mahabharat Htotkaac 's statue. "He further added" in the city in the shape Htotkaac Bhim's father has also been shown that wars are horrific demon! "

In India, the two epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata epic of the ordinary citizens recognize most characters. But less known is the character of Mahabharat. In fact, India will be much less who will know who is Htotkaac. Bhim driver of our car there about her relationship was also fully known.

Sindhi conference in Jakarta and in Bali we got a glimpse of staged scenes of Ramayana in India was slightly different from current conventional form. Artists display and presentation, and the places where it witnessed the performance of the general atmosphere was full of enough Srdhada and devotion.

I must say that the people of Indonesia know us much better way and preserve the Ramayana and Mahabharata have been.
