The rest of mountain cutting that done by the gods became a mountain, Mt Pawitra which it was known by Mt Penanggungan, and the main part of Mt Meru, lying place of Dewa Shiwa (a god) was known by Mt Semeru. When Sang Hyang Siwa (a god) visit to this island, he found so many “Jawawut Tree” and he gave this island named by “Java Island”
Geographically, Java & Bali Island is same in the Hindusm symbols and development. According to the Hindusm’s mythology about Mt Meru, It’s assumpted this is a home for gods and being a connecting place between “earth” (human) and “khayangan” (heaven). If human are willing to hear about the “dewa sound”, he must meditated at the peak of Mt Meru. Many Javanesse and Balinesse assumpted that Mt Semeru is the place for their gods or ghost. Finally, many people (Java & Bali) use this mountain as meditate place to get “the mysterious whispers”
The Balinesse believe that Mt Mahameru (Semeru) is “father of Mt Agung” in Bali and very appreciated by them. The “Upacara Sesaji” (Presenting Ceremony for the gods) that presented by their gods is done by Balinesse each in 8 to 12 when somebody accept “the mysterious sound” from the gods who lives at Mt Mahameru. Beside of this ceremony, if it’s a urgently condition, The Balinesse visit in “Goa Widodaren” (Widodaren Cave) to get “Tirta Suci” (sorry, I don’t know what is the Tirta Suci)
When people want to climb until in this peak, there’s the reasons why they will. May be, somebody want to acquire of this “mysterious sound”. They wish get the “long age”, and luck. Before they climb to this peak, they provide his life supplieas as long as they meditate there, and also his mental. Many meditator is scare with mountain condition, visible or invisible. Many people believe that mountain is as much ghost home that placed in around of mountain. That ghost is believed as “Roh Leluhur” (Dying Soul of Ancestors), live at all forest, hill, tree, lake in every route you through it
This dying soul live here have much responsibility such as guiding of many place to be appreciated. The climbers that overnight their trip at Ranu Kumbolo Lake, oftenly see the “Ranu Kumbolo” Lake. In the midnight, there’s a orange light in the center of lake and suddenly, this light is changed into a woman ghost. For a person has supranatural power, he / she will be happy with this, because he / she will spare of much time to speak with this ghost
You may believe or not to this ghost existence, but The Javanesse believe that Bromo, Tengger and Semeru is the ghost’s home and dying soul of ancestors living here
