Punakawan Have a Secret Message

Semar, Gareng, Petruk, Bagong ..

Some people must have heard stranger names. But certainly many who knew him .. is not it?

The four are members of Punakawan. Punakawan themselves are the servants of the Five Pandavas. I have a little information about the profiles of each character ..




Semar


This cute chubby figure named Semar. Some sources say he had another name Sang Hyang Ismaya. Same strength exceeds even the gods though. Sunan Kalijaga actually take the word Semar of said Samir (Joiner)



Petruk

Maybe if you see Petruk definitely remembered the character Pinocchio. Slender body (actually, skinny), sharp nose and a cheery smile that became his trademark. Petruk is the son of Semar, which was once a king in a land called Ngrancang Kencana and named Helgeduelbeh. His personality was less enviable because he had a spendthrift nature and it has been said he was also an escape talisman Kalimasada. Because of its nature, Petruk made a symbol of evil often / bad luck, such as rumors Mbah Petruk residents of Mount Merapi. He was unbeatable by anyone except Gareng. In playing its role, Petruk often satirize human behavior with arbitrary joke. Petruk was taken from the word Fatruk (leave)


Gareng


Gareng was the son of Semar also, that are funny and silly. Gareng itself is a character who is not articulate, and his word is often times wrong. That's what makes Gareng be a funny character. He never became king in the land and named scout bergola Paranggumiwang. He was appointed king in the name of Goddess Sumbadra. He also can not be defeated by anyone except Petruk. Gareng taken from the word Khaera (goodness)



Bagong

Members of the latter is cumbersome. He is the image of Semar. When Semar down to earth, the god said to him, the shadow will be your friend, and instantly turned into Bagong anyway. His word sassy and heart-rending, but it contains the intention is that people who feel improvement. He was also a bit stupid and ridiculous. Taken from the word Bagho cumbersome (and arbitrary)

The doctrine is to be conveyed by Sunan Kalijaga through Punakawan this is when the name of all four combined and will be:
Leave the arbitrary attitude if you want to get happiness
