Balinese should be proud of ourselves that our ancestors had left us a great tradition from generation to generation according to Top holy Secret story of "Paiketan Paguron Suling Dewata" (Paiketan means Association, Paguron means a place to study of Martial Arts of fighting, Suling means Flute, and Dewata means Gods), the great tradition this has ever made Bali Isalnd, our beautiful island, the island of the gods as the central of world's spiritual long long time ago. Eventhough one of the great traditions was the original of traditional of Balinese "Silat" (martial arts of Balinese fightings) from "Pertapaan Candra Parwata" (Pertapaan means Holy place for meditation for priest or monks, Candra means Moon, and Parwata means Mount), Pertapaan Candra Parwata was located on Batukaru Mount in west of Bali, the Great name of Pertapaan Candra Parwata was not only known in Bali or in Indonesia but also was very famous to overseas such as Langka Pura (Srilangka), Jambu Dwipa (India), Tibet, Kuroyewu (Korea), Jepun (Japan) and Tionggoan (China). But unfortunely centuries later, the great great tradition of our ancestors that reflecting of our great culture was only remain by it's names, and eventhough among of Balinese people regard it that the great culture and tradition that they heard from the fathers, the grand fathers, the great grand father or even the great great grand fathers was only a story, was not more than just a story and can not be trusted, was it true or not.
