Within the ancient myths these tellings already has been told, but nowadays a lot of these original stories has turned into "male"-tellings, deformed untill faerie-tales, with all beauty themes, facts and a lot of incre- dible and bizar horror elements beyond belief. |

In spite of the vague backgrounds around the ancient ethnic divine female there is a kind of original source about the SOUTH-SEA GODDESS which is apparent Westering of Java with the beautiful, wayward and curious Sunda with the metropolis Jakarta. In the South of the famous city Bandung, because of the Bogor-garden, you will find an once small fishing-village, grown into the city of Pelabuhan Ratu. On the very edge of the Indian Ocean there is the Samudra Beach Hotel, all alone in the "middle of nowhere", surrounded by a tropical forest. This hotel-complex came into existence during the second half of the 60's, also through the help of President Soekarno the very first president of Indonesia... His personal story tells a different, special liaison with the Spirit-Queen Of The Southern Ocean. There is the existence of a particular room on the third floor fitted up as a "boudoir" and specially arranged for the Javanese GUSTI KANJENG RATU KIDUL, simply translated as Her Majesty Queen Of The South. Standing on the balcony of Room 308 you just look down at the sum- mit of the Ketapang-tree, the same tree where Pre- sident Soekarno used to do his meditations...... Here you can pay a visit to meditate, or to bring a small sacrifice, to pray, to ask one question to the Goddess ...or just to satisfy your curiosity... thanks for visiting Updated: 09 - 06 - 2024 |
